Windstar's Luxury Yachts Offer Swimming From the Ship and Access to Smaller Ports

Windstar’s Wind Surf—its flagship yacht—offers passengers a mix of longer stays on board and access to smaller ports, according to the brief first-day account. The writer describes being aboard during early planning conversations, including a guest asking at the Future Cruises desk to book a cruise from January through April and expressing a desire to remain on the ship for four months. Another passenger from Bentonville, Arkansas, said she has sailed every Windstar itinerary in Europe and is repeating favorites. The piece adds a practical tip: once the cruise begins, travelers can ask to extend their time if space is available on the next sailing, at an extra $200 per person per day.
