Star Clippers adds Costa Rica Blue Zone experience
Small ship cruise line Star Clippers is offering a new, immersive stay in Costa Rica.
The new five-night pre-cruise stay in Punta Islita, Nicoya Peninsular is a result increased demand.
The Nicoya region is one of only five Blue Zones.
It has contracted Punta Islita Hotel, an eco-resort tucked in a hillside and rainforest.
Guests can enjoy top class dining and a range of included activities such as art workshops, bird-watching and hiking.
Guests then embark Star Clipper for a seven-night sailing from Puerto Caldera to Quepos, Golfito, Playa Panama, Bahia Potrero and Islas Tortugas.
Star Clippers’ Blue Zone experience 16-day packages are available on all Costa Rica sailings in winter 2023/24 and winter 2024/25.
Fay McCormack, GM of Star Clippers’ UK GSA said: ‘Blue Zone living aligns perfectly with Star Clippers’ focus on an eco-friendly, immersive experience.’
