Whilst it is sad to be leaving Asia for now, for the past few years it’s been challenging to meet ever growing demand for our popular Med sailings so we know this is going to be welcomed news for our trade partners and guests. Equally, with the last season of Asia sailings taking place during 2021 and early 2022, we are anticipating a huge demand for these sailings before Star Clipper returns.”
