Wind Surf Cruises: Sail the Seas in Elegant Style

The Wind Surf stands apart as one of the most distinctive vessels sailing the world's oceans today. Built in 1990, this elegant 5-masted motor sailing ship combines the romance of traditional sailing with modern luxury amenities. With a gross tonnage of 14,745 and capacity for just 376 passengers, the Wind Surf offers an intimate cruising experience that larger ships simply can't match.

The ship's unique design allows guests to enjoy the thrill of sailing under billowing sails while exploring some of the world's most captivating destinations. The Wind Surf regularly sails the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean and Caribbean, with departures from sought-after ports including Philipsburg in St Maarten, Civitavecchia near Rome, and Piraeus for Athens. The smaller size means access to harbors and ports that mega-ships can't reach, opening up possibilities for more authentic and less crowded experiences ashore.

Windstar's approach aboard the Wind Surf appeals to travelers seeking something different from conventional cruising. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, with open-seating dining, casual dress codes, and a focus on destination immersion rather than onboard glitz. The ship attracts well-traveled guests who appreciate the blend of adventure and comfort, along with the unique sensation of sailing on a vessel where you can actually feel the wind and watch the sails unfurl. Whether you're drawn to exploring ancient Mediterranean ports or relaxing on Caribbean beaches, the Wind Surf delivers a refreshingly different way to experience ocean cruising.
