We asked for photos of your favorite ports on our Facebook page, and guest Linda Coltharp came back with a few!

Fakarava, South Pacific atoll for its remoteness and beauty.

Bora Bora for the most beautiful water in the world.

I’ve got a lot more favorites!

Memories of a Star Clippers Cruise

Dear Star Clippers,

My husband and I went on the Tahiti cruise from 6 to 13 December 2009. This was our 7th cruise with Star Clippers and we had a wonderful time.

I am attaching some of my favourite pictures. They are very special to me because Tahiti and her islands was a dream come true for us and our favourite spot was the Motu where the beach BBQ took place. They are even more special, as they are the last pictures of my husband. He died unexpectedly on January 15, 2010.

Thank you very much for these wonderful memories – I hope to be back on board eventually…

Best regards,
Roda Gross

A Memorable Sailing on Star Flyer

Julie — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:14:18 +0000

My daughter and I went on a trip to Tahiti as a graduation from high school gift in July 2009. It was the best trip we have ever taken and we have traveled a lot.

We had such a great time and loved the ship so much that when we moved to another house and had to remodel it, we added a huge print of the Star Flyer as the focal point of a wall. This isn’t a great photo of it — it looks much better in person and we get all kinds of comments on it. No one can believe it is the actual ship we were on in Tahiti. It doesn’t show the size well but the wall is about 15 feet across and the picture is about 5 feet high and 6 feet wide. It is a great decoration of the room which is huge itself. — Sandra Hall.
