Cruise ship photo tour: Star Clippers' Star Flyer

In an age of ever larger, glitzier cruise ships, Star Clipper's Star Flyer stands out. And not just because of its small size. The 170-passenger vessel is a rarity in the vacation world: A four-masted barquentine that takes its inspiration from the famed clipper ships of the 19th Century.
