Balearic Ocean Cruises

Explore

Discover the sun-drenched Balearic Sea on an unforgettable ocean cruise aboard the elegant Star Clipper and let the allure of this beautiful region transport you to a bygone era of exploration and adventure.

The jewel of the Balearic Sea is the sun-drenched archipelago of islands off the coast of mainland Spain, home to the sister islands of Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca.

Ibiza has a reputation for hedonism, but look beyond the nightlife, and you'll find it also has a more laid-back charm with pretty villages and sandy coves ripe for exploration. Mallorca's capital, Palma, is the trifecta - cultural, coastal and walkable - ideal for wanderers and lovers of architecture thanks to its Gothic cathedral and the Royal Palace of Almudaina (an Islamic monument turned Gothic palace). Finally, there's Menorca, the laid-back little sister with a cultural tapestry of French, British and Catalan influences. It's home to many historic towns, like Ciutadella, which lives up to its nickname - "Vella i Bella", or the old and beautiful. And you'll see all this and so much more on our ocean cruises in the Balearic Sea.

Sailing aboard the elegant Star Clipper is an experience to remember. As the wind rattles the sails of our four-masted ship, you'll feel you've stepped back through time to the Golden Age of nautical travel. Everyone loves being on deck – the ropes, stays, winches, polished mahogany, and gleaming brass of the ship's bell are all a living testament to its maritime heritage - and your private cabins are generously proportioned. You really will be travelling in the lap of luxury.
