Alternatively, for something a little more relaxed, why not enjoy a nightcap in one of the lounges, out on deck or in your spacious and comfortable cabin?

Great cruise and enjoyed the small boat experience. Informal and opportunity to really get to know crew and other guests while visiting small ports that other cruise ships can’t access. Only a few other UK guests- mostly US /Canada. Qloved it so much planning further cruise next year

"Our vacation onboard the Wind Spirit to the Virgin Islands in March was one of the two best cruise holidays I have ever had. The first was onboard the Wind Star two years ago.. The ship is the best cruise ship I have been on and the service cannot be beaten. I am already planning two more Windstar cruises in the next two years and can't wait to go. The crew is the most professional and hard working I have encountered on any vacation. Crew members went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay the best it could be. I will always recommend Windstar Cruises to any of my friends and family who want to cruise and can hardly wait to go back. Keep up the great work."

Lovely ship, excellent facilities and the staff were superb. Departing early February 2020, The itinerary was two ports in Columbia, one in Costa Rica, one in Panama ( in addition to Colon), and a canal transit. Our one disappointment was that a "Transit" of the Panama canal was intimated and confirmed by a telephone call, when in fact a full transit was never intended. The "Panama Canal Transit" was detailed in published daily schedules, and only referred to as a partial transit in the last few days, when I suspect other passengers realised the status. The vessel was never designed to enter the Panama Canal. The lifeboats had to be removed, and a new Panama Fairlead installed aft requiring us to spend a day in the Port of Colon to accommodate this. This accommodation was only possible by cancelling The Panama port visit (Boco del Toro), therefore we only visited three of the planned four ports, and a planned "Day at Sea" was in fact a day at anchor outside the Canal. Without requiring to pass under the "Bridge of the Americas" and enter the Pacific, the vessel could have completed a full transit of the Canal, disembarking passengers in Panama City, rather than Colon, and embarking new passengers there to complete a second transit northwards. We were compensated for the missed port, $50 and $15 fees, (less than a dinner bottle of wine.) A very disappointing end to a potentially wonderful experience. The Ship was wonderful, the holiday was not.

Onboard the yachts, cleaning procedures have been enhanced including tender boats, sports deck, equipment and buses once on shore. In addition, hand sanitiser stations have been increased across the ship. Restaurants have also been adapted with longer dining times to limit the number of guests inside at one time.
Crew will have to undergo health screenings before boarding and temperature checks twice each day. They will also be given extra training on how to prevent Covid-19, and will wear masks and gloves when necessary. In any cases of guest illness, the medical centre is well equipped, with extra staff being introduced.
