Star Clippers introduces multiple new Mediterranean ports of call

The specialist cruise line has announced seven brand new ports of call for their summer 2026 schedule, including Ouranoupolis in Greece and Barletta, Monopoli, Crotone and Pesaro in Italy. 

Star Flyer will visit Ouranoupolis, a small city in the Halkidiki region, following a day of sailing along the Athos peninsular and viewing the monasteries as a part of a 7-night Greek Islands sailing in June 2026. Pesaro will be a tender port, allowing multiple excursion opportunities including day trips to the Republic of San Marino – one of the smallest countries in the world - and the UNESCO-recognised town of Urbino. There are currently no other cruise ships programmed to visit both Ouranoupolis and Pesaro for summer 2026. 

Other new ports for the three tall-ships include Sibenik (Croatia), Gythio (Greece) and Crotone (Italy). Puglia’s Monopoli and Barletta are further new ports of call for the specialist cruise line.

Fay McCormack, General Manager of Star Clippers’ UK GSA said: ‘We are delighted to offer 7 new ports of call within our summer 2026 programme. For over 30 years our unique tall-ships have allowed guests to explore smaller, intimate destinations and we are thrilled to continue offering incredible new ports to visit.’
