In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Quiltripping Travel with Rose” podcast, travel writer and photographer Rose Palmer shares her unforgettable experience sailing aboard the Star Clippers’ Star Clipper, an authentic tall ship that delivers an intimate and historic cruising adventure. Unlike massive cruise liners, this small ship offers a personal atmosphere where guests build real connections—with each other and the crew. Rose discusses the beauty of traveling under sail, the charm of docking in less accessible ports, and the joy of slow travel that allows for deeper exploration of historic destinations. From international cuisine and thoughtful wine pairings to the camaraderie among repeat travelers, the experience blends adventure with hospitality. Rose also reflects on the friendships formed at sea and looks ahead to future journeys—including Patagonia and Antarctica. This episode captures the romance of life on the water and why small ship cruising offers something truly special. 📖 Read Rose’s Article on Substack: https://vacationstationtravel.substack.com/p/sailing-the-seas 🌐 Explore More from Quiltripping: https://quiltripping.com/ 📰 Check Out the New “Quiltripping Travel” Digital Podcast Magazine: https://online.fliphtml5.com/yhwzg/QUILTRIPPING-TRAVEL-WITH-ROSE-MAG/#p=1 🎧 Subscribe on Podbean: https://quiltripping-travel.podbean.com/ 📲 This episode is also featured on Big Blend Radio’s "Vacation Station" & "Way Back When" Podcast Channels: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/bigblendradionetwork
