The Greek Isles & Adriatic
Hidden coves and walled towns like Dubrovnik, reached by a yacht small enough to slip into harbours the big ships sail past.
Windstar Cruises
180 degrees from ordinary
Windstar sails small — intimate sailing yachts and Star-class motor yachts carrying just 148 to 342 guests, into the hidden harbours and quiet coves the big ships sail right past. The original sailing yachts, led by the five-masted Wind Surf, run on canvas and the wind; an open-bridge policy means you're welcome to watch the sails set or learn to steer. Casual by day, refined by night — yachting without the formality.
