Windstar Cruises: Wind Star

Favorites

Best Splurge: A scuba-diving adventure—the dive team rigs and maintains the gear so just sign up and be ready—allows even novices to participate after they complete a two-hour course.

Best Added Value: Each evening before dinner, most passengers gather in the lounge for really informative port talks while hot-and-cold appetizers are served by roaming waiters.

Our Favorite Spot for a Nightcap: Deck chairs by the pool, especially on a starry night when the sails are raised, are the best place to sit for a quiet drink.

Best Thoughtful Touch: Select a movie from the extensive DVD collection to watch in the privacy of your stateroom, and don't forget the popcorn. Just call room service.

Best Way to Beat the Heat: Mist sprayers near the pool offer a refreshing way to keep cool.

Tune In: All cabins have an entertainment center with an iPod dock. Use your own, or borrow one from the ship.
