When a professional football team needed to get to Baltimore for an important game, Starr Bus Charter & Tours unveiled a game-changing solution with their Napaway Premium Coaches—a luxurious alternative to traditional air travel.
Rather than dealing with the inconveniences of airports, cramped plane seating, and multiple transfers, the team traveled in ultimate comfort aboard coaches designed to deliver an experience akin to boarding a private jet, all while staying grounded.
Redefining the Travel Experience
Starr’s Napaway Premium Coaches, designed with business-class seats that transform into fully-flat beds, prioritize luxury and seamless travel. Moving beyond the standard point-to-point transportation, these coaches rival the experience offered by charter flights—and in many ways, they exceed it.
“This is a whole other level of service,” shared Pete Borowsky, President of Starr Bus Charter & Tours. “We’ve seen a growing demand for something beyond typical options. Our Napaway coaches meet and exceed those expectations.”
New Dimensions in Comfort and Versatility
The partnership between Starr Bus Charter & Tours and Napaway, launched in November, introduces cutting-edge sleeper coaches across regions including New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and the greater New York City area. The collaboration raises the bar for what luxury group travel can be.
“Starr is a forward-thinking, family-run business that operates with integrity,” said Napaway CEO Dan Aronov. “We’re proud to partner with them. They’re an exceptional company, and we trust them to represent the Napaway brand with excellence.”
The Napaway Premium Coaches are equipped with patented seating technology that transforms business-class seats into private pods with flat beds. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, passengers have the flexibility to tailor the seating arrangements to their needs, whether that’s accommodating a corporate team, a sports squad, or a group of friends heading out for high-end leisure experiences.
Unlike traditional sleeper buses with limited amenities, Napaway Coaches feature climate controls, privacy screens, and extra-spacious layouts. They can seat up to 36 passengers or provide sleeping accommodations for 18.
“We’ve always focused on delivering comfort and value to our clients,” said Borowsky. “Napaway enables us to offer something completely new and unmatched in the market.”
A Better Option for Teams on the Go
For professional sports teams, Napaway’s coaches present a significant upgrade from the usual charter flight experience. Airline travel, with its tight seating and crowded layouts, doesn’t provide the level of rest or comfort that athletes require before game day.
“A lot of these planes aren’t much better than flying commercial,” Borowsky explained. “Even if they block the seat next to you, it’s still cramped and not ideal.”
Napaway’s approach eliminates the stress of multiple transfers. Passengers remain in the same luxurious setting for the entirety of their trip.
“With Napaway, you’re in the same space the entire time,” said Borowsky. “There’s no need to switch between buses and planes. It’s a seamless, more streamlined experience.”
Time efficiency is another compelling factor. A two-hour flight can stretch to six or eight hours once you factor in connections, boarding, and travel logistics. For journeys within the four- to eight-hour range, luxury coaches often emerge as the smarter choice.
“When you consider the time saved along with the comfort, the decision is clear,” said Borowsky.
Opening Doors to New Markets
Starr’s Napaway partnership is paving the way for new opportunities beyond athletic teams. The adaptability of the coaches makes them an appealing choice across various markets, including corporate travel, touring productions, and upscale leisure groups.
“Some corporate clients might prefer 18 individual pods for executives, while other groups may opt for 36 comfortable seats to meet their needs,” Borowsky said. “Being able to meet diverse demands is a game-changer.”
While the experience carries a premium price tag, customers immediately see the value in the elevated comfort and service.
“This is a premium offering, and passengers feel it the moment they step onboard,” said Borowsky. “It’s an investment they’re willing to make for the difference it provides.”
Building on Legacy Innovation
Starr Bus Charter & Tours has been a family-run business since 1947, earning a reputation for quality and innovation. They received the prestigious IMG Operator of the Year award in 2015. Adding Napaway coaches to their offerings underscores their ongoing commitment to redefining industry standards.
“This is about more than luxury,” added Borowsky. “It’s about creating a truly seamless experience where every passenger feels valued. That approach has been at the core of Starr’s services from day one, and Napaway allows us to take that ethos further than ever before.”
The Power of Exclusivity
Napaway’s strategy of granting exclusive operational rights ensures consistency in service quality across regions. It also opens doors for collaboration between operators, enabling them to manage cross-regional trips while minimizing inefficiencies.
“Building a network of like-minded partners is critical to our success,” said Aronov, Napaway’s CEO. “It allows us to deliver a superior experience to clients nationwide while fostering collaboration across the network.”
For Starr, exclusivity brings distinct advantages. Being the sole operator of Napaway Coaches in their region sets them apart from competitors.
“There’s no other company in the market offering what we do with Napaway,” said Borowsky. “That exclusivity is a huge draw for our clients.”
The Future of Group Travel
As demand for premium, luxury group travel continues to grow, Napaway’s innovative coaches and dedicated operators are poised to lead the way.
“Once people experience it, they’re hooked,” Borowsky concluded. “THIS is the future of group travel.”
