The Route
Your journey begins on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten. Once you depart, the “Atlantic Adventure” on the tall ship begins immediately. You’ll spend the first 12 days at sea before reaching Ponta Delgada in the Azores, where a stop is planned for April 3, 2026. Afterwards, there are six more days at sea before the Star Flyer reaches its final destination, Malaga.
This route is all about the experience of crossing the Atlantic on a tall ship. It’s nothing like a cruise on a large vessel accommodating 5,000 or more passengers.
