Come with us on the lovely Wind Spirit as we sail to Italian islands with a unique cultural heritage, and to small resort-style ports popular with well-heeled but laid-back Europeans. Rocky coves and vivid blue waters make these islands worth visiting for their beauty alone. Enjoy the view as you approach the tall limestone cliffs supporting the medieval town of Bonifacio on Corsica, cruise past Stromboli Volcano, and call at the mainland port of Amalfi where the coastal scenery is literally legendary. Explore all this beauty with activities ranging from dolphin watching to kayaking to bicycling on the bucolic island of Lipari. You’ll find an abundance of history and culture to boot, from Bronze Age ruins to Napoleon’s Corsican legacy, and artsy seaside towns like Sardinia’s Bosa, where colorful houses catch the eye, and the 12th-century castle is almost an afterthought. Three late-night stays and an overnight in Alghero let you enjoy after-hours treats from illuminated fortresses to artisanal sunsets.
The Essence of Small Ship Sailing
The Wind Spirit is a sleek, 4-masted sailing yacht accommodating 148 guests. With four decks and a gross tonnage of 5,736, Wind Spirit feels like your own private small ship.
Wind Spirit features wide open, teak decks—quite unusual for small ships. Guests will find hidden nooks for private moments giving them a feeling of being on their own private veranda.
All staterooms have ocean views, queen beds, flat-screen TV with DVD player, and Bose SoundDock speakers for Apple iPods. The Owner’s Suite includes a sitting area.
Wind Spirit offers two primary dining venues. Amphora restaurant offers gourmet, course-by-course cuisine in the evenings and Veranda restaurant offers casual buffet and full-service dining for breakfast and lunch. All dining is open seating. And, for dining under the stars, make a reservation for Candles which features steaks and skewers.
Wind Spirit amenities include: WindSpa, Watersports Platform, Lounge, Library, Pool, and Hot Tub.
All cruise ships let you see the world. Only Windstar’s private yacht style cruises brings you close enough so you can truly experience it. Each of our Windstar Cruises yachts serves between 148 and 342 guests. This intimacy provides you with the luxuries of time, space, and freedom to immerse yourself in both the journey and the destination — in ways you may never have imagined possible.
