No it is not possible to launch Safari using Calabash-iOS.
I googled you question and found this post in the Calabash-ios google group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/calabash-ios/n0MlBgigbvE
The answer from Karl Krukow (one of the guys who developed Calabash) is a no:
Hi. It is not possible to automate safari using Calabash (or any other tool I know without jail-breaking the device).
You can automated hybrid apps, i.e., native apps that contain web views. If you're looking for a tool for automating mobile browsers take a look at Selenium, and specifically iPhoneDriver.

If it is a viable solution for you to browse to a given page in a webview inside your own app. Then that should be an option.
