Review summary

We have sailed with Windstar on two previous occasions. This trip was the best yet. Ship has lots of outdoor deck space allowing for quiet privacy. The officers and crew were outstanding! If you want to leave your noisy life behind, this is the way to do it.

Ship tip

Do not expect your days to be filled with high eneThe ocean and the stars are spectacular. You get on board and all of yours needs are graciously met. The trip is for people looking for calm and peaceful who are able to entertain themselves.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
Very busy! Lots of shopping.

Ponta Delgada, Azores Did not visit port

Captain and staff made decision early on to not go there due to rough seas in the Atlantic. He explained decision in detail including slide show of weather/wind/ waves. All 14 days of the crossing were relatively calm and sunny with temps in the mid 70's.

Lisbon, Portugal

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
When we were ready to go, we walked off the ship. No lines and a cordial goodbye.
