Plot

The films tell travel stories, with the main setting of the action being the three sailing cruise ships Star Flyer, Star Clipper and Royal Clipper, but also includes their escapades stopping ashore in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and Asia during their cruises. The plots revolve around love, suffering, happiness and the longings of the passengers. The captain and the cruise manager are significantly involved in the plot.

The regular cast includes Peter Weck, Helmut Zierl and Fritz Wepper in the supporting roles and Christine Neubauer in a main role as cruise manager Marlene, who stops working on the Royal Clipper for the farewell performance and hands over the position of cruise manager to Gerit Kling, alias Saskia. From episode three onwards, the role of captain Bernd Jensen is played by Horst Janson.
