Tall Ships converge in Hamburg for the annual regatta.

The Star Clippers tall ship makes a rare appearance in the UK, visiting Dover towards the end of a repositioning cruise from the Caribbean to the Baltic.

Some of the Star Clippers vessel's 19 sails – a stunningly majestic sight.

Brave passengers climb the main mast to admire the view.

Ropes, pulleys, beams, masts and sails adorn Star Flyer's top deck.

The majestic Star Clippers tall ship 'clips' the waves under sail and engine.

Star Flyer captain Klaus Müller's bagpipes reverberate across the River Elbe as the Star Clippers tall ship sails into Hamburg.

This 90-year-old German passenger was a star guest on Star Clippers' Star Flyer sailing from the UK to Hamburg.

This was my view from the Crow’s Nest on board the Royal Clipper, somewhere in the beautiful Mediterranean. Well worth the climb, and topped off this perfect trip of a lifetime with a group of friends. – Eleanor Godwin
