Star Clipper missing from brochure

[PurleyKing]

Here in the UK, the 2022/23 Winter Preview brochure has recently arrived by email and Star Clipper doesn't appear in the brochure, just Star Flyer and Royal Clipper.

 

Does anyone know what is happening to Star Clipper?

I don't think the Asia cruises are released yet - just about to double check myself

The ship leaves Asia in spring 2022 and spend the summer in the Mediterranian Sea. Lst announced cruise will end in Lisbon in late October 2022. It would be very likely that the ship will even sail across the Atlantic Ocean and will stay in the Caribbean during winter. Otherwise it would not make much sense to go to Lisbon at the end of summer season.

The Star Clipper will return to Mediterranean for the 2022 season for Star Clippers.

As part of the transition, the cruise ship, which has been sailing in Southeast Asia, will depart Safaga, Egypt in April 2022 on a one-off voyage between Safaga and Athens.

She will sail in the Western Mediterranean from June 2022 onward, offering both open-jaw and roundtrip cruises from Rome and Cannes through October 2022. Cruise lengths range between five and seven days. Her last announced West Mediterranean voyage will be a 10-day trip between Rome and Lisbon. This move will mark the Star Clipper’s first time rejoining her sister ships – the Royal Clipper and Star Flyer – in the Mediterranean since 2016. The ship is expected to complete her 2021-2022 Southeast Asian season in Thailand in March 2022. “While we’re sad to be leaving Asia for now, we’ve seen a steady, growing demand for our popular Med sailings and we’re confident this is going to be welcome news for both trade partners and guests,” said Mikael Krafft, owner, Star Clippers.
