Nice to Barcelona cruise onboard the Wind Surf - 7 nights

Accommodation

Wind Surf - 7 nights - full board

Sailing under the banner of its appropriate tag line '180º From Ordinary', Windstar was created in the mid-1980's with the vision to offer an alternative to the typical cruise or resort vacation. The Windstar passenger sees the world from a romantic sailing ship with luxurious accommodations, a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and exquisite service and cuisine. WindStar’s ships are officially masted-sail-yachts (msy), but the designation belies the vessels unique rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky.

Teak decking, rich wood interiors, an attentive service staff, intimate surroundings, eclectic artwork, exceptional signature cuisine featuring both light and vegetarian menu selections, and an extensive wine list are some of the extraordinary elements which have become synonymous with Windstar. Features unique to the Wind Surf include 31 deluxe suites, a business/internet centre, The Bistro, and the 10,000 square foot WindSpa offering a full array of spa treatments, consultative, health and fitness programmes.

One of the qualities that makes Europe so endlessly enticing is the expanded sense of time over here. Why rush around “scheduling” when you’ve got a few thousand years of history under your belt? (That makes for a delicious kind of freedom, really, and you just might call that a trade secret of Windstar, too: there are no routines or schedules on board; all things are here for the taking; the staff ’s always ready to say “Yes”). If you want to go to shore, just walk down and meet the tender; it’s waiting and ready to go. If you want to stay “home,” the sports platform will be lowered this afternoon, and you can sail or kayak right from the ship.

Itinerary

It just doesn’t matter how many times you’ve been there. The beauty of Europe is how a land that has remained virtually unchanged for centuries is completely different each time you visit. There are mysterious legends to uncover. Classical museums to explore. And a vibrant, contemporary scene that offers surprises year after year. With its storied past and ultra-modern sensibilities, Europe presents a distinct adventure to all who arrive – from the experienced traveler to the merely curious. A legendary fortress awakens the childlike explorer within. A sleepy fishing village stirs your inner poet. Sunset among ancient ruins inspires new passion in a lifelong relationship. Such is the utter magic of Europe. Where designer sandals meet cobblestone streets. Gothic cathedrals rise high above trendy cafés. Hi-tech white sails unfurl within centuries-old harbors. And with each visit, even the most seasoned traveler can delight in the promise of a completely new experience aboard Wind Surf.
