Tall ship line Star Clippers has added the Italian town of Otranto in Puglia, Italy, and southern France’s Saint Raphael to its summer 2025 programme.

The cruise line has announced that Star Flyer will visit Otranto – Italy’s easternmost town known for its architecture and views across the Adriatic Sea – in July and August 2025 as part of its 11-night Venice to Rome itinerary which also takes in other Italian ports as well as Croatia, Montenegro and Sicily, with prices starting at £2,547 per person.

In addition, Star Flyer will be calling into the French Riviera’s Saint Raphael for the first time in 2025, with visits scheduled for May and October 2025, as part of the Cannes and Nice departures, with prices from £1,620 per person.

Nice has also been added as a homeport for the first time, with five sailings in September and October 2025 with cruises around Italy, Corsica and the French Riviera.
