A luxury trip(to me)

[brother chris]

I am planning on taking a vacation next year, but I think it would be better to plan now and pay now so I won't have to put out next year just before vacation. <br />I plan on taking a trip on the west coast on a schooner or tall ship. <br />Has anyone gone on any of these trips or know of a company who arranges these kinds of trips. <br />It really doesn't matter where I go, I just want to travel on a large masted ship out in the ocean. <br />I saw one on the net awhile back, but lost the info.<br />That trip was the best so far. It started from L.A. to Hawaii, then Bora Bora and Tahiti, and back to L.A. <br />The above trip is what I am looking for, but I would settle for Bermuda as well. <br />Much appreciated for any info.<br />Brother Chris...

Brother Chris,<br /><br />The worlds premier line of tall cruise ships is the Star Clipper Line. They are the biggest, the best, most beautiful and elegant, and quite simply the most magnificent vessels ever to cross oceans under sail. Here is a link the Star Clipper Line web site:<br /><br /> Star Clippers <br /><br />Here is a web site that will help you put together an itinerary and plan your cruise at discounted rates:<br /><br />Star Clipper Cruiser Planners <br /><br /><br />And here is a page that will give you all kinds of information about the twin clippers, the Star Clipper and the Star Flyer:<br /><br /> Star Clippers! <br /><br />One of these ships was featured last night on The Learning Channel's Extreme Machines. Ever since I first read about the Star Clipper in Cruising World I have wanted to just to see one, not to mention to voyage on one. Hope you enjoy your vacation, whichever tall ship you choose.

That is awesome SoulWinner. Thanks so much for the links. <br />That is exactly what I was looking for. <br />I will post later on and let you know which ship I will be taking and where I am going to.

Sure thing Chris,<br /><br />Earlier this year there was an article in Cruising World magazine were one of the editors (I think) took a cruise aboard one of these ship in the Caribbean. He had nothing but great things to say about the ship and her crew. I think if I were going on a cruise it would be aboard one of these! Have fun, and please tell us all about it when you get back.

Well, I'm not going until next year, probably in Sept. <br />These ships look like they are from my dreams.<br />I'm just so happy to be able to cruise on one of these vessels. I'll record everything about it. <br />Thanks SW
