Day-by-day description of your cruise and cruise activities.
Colón
Explore the inner workings of the Panama Canal, head into the jungle to meet with Embera Indians, or take an aerial tram ride through the rainforest canopy.
San Blas, Panama
The San Blas Islands of Panama is an archipelago comprising approximately 378 islands and cays, of which 49 are inhabited, some by the Kuna people. Scattered over an area of about 100 square miles, the islands are the number 1 vacation destination in Panama although the Kuna work hard to protect their land against overwhelming tourism and keep the islands healthy and lovely, unique and untouched by culture. These white-sand and palm tree lined islands are encompassed by a coral reef and warm, crystal-clear water that is perfect for snorkeling and is home to a variety of marine life including dolphins, sharks and giant manta rays.
Cartagena
Welcome to the sparkling city of Cartagena, where the gold and jewels of the Spanish Main awaited shipment across the Atlantic. No pirate could resist, nor will you be able to when you visit this historic city. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is surrounded by 400-year-old walls and contains a plethora of churches, fortresses, and restored colonial mansions. Outside the walls are more treasures: Climb the massive Castillo de San Felipe to investigate its maze of hidden tunnels, or shop for the perfect emerald.

Oranjestad
Known for having some of the best beaches in the Caribbean, this Dutch port makes it easy to just … take it easy. Walk through town to choose your favorite carved wooden door, or spend the day like the Arubans do playing dominos at a beachside table.

Wind Spirit is a graceful four-masted sailing yacht that reflects Windstar Cruises’ dedication to authentic, small-ship exploration. Designed for just 148 guests, this intimate vessel offers an elegant blend of traditional seafaring charm and contemporary comfort, creating a uniquely personal and immersive cruise experience.
Launched in 1988 and meticulously updated over the years, Wind Spirit sails primarily under wind power, with computer-assisted sails that unfurl silently above its teak decks. Its sleek design and shallow draft allow it to glide into quiet harbors, secluded coves, and hidden ports that are beyond the reach of larger cruise ships. Whether anchored off a pristine island or docked in a bustling coastal town, the ship brings guests closer to each destination—both physically and culturally.
The yacht features 74 well-appointed oceanview staterooms, including one spacious Owner’s Suite. Each stateroom is designed for comfort and relaxation, with a soothing coastal color palette, soft lighting, and thoughtful details. Guests enjoy queen-size beds with fine linens, marble-accented bathrooms stocked with L’Occitane amenities, flat-screen TVs, and fully stocked minibars. The Owner’s Suite provides additional space with a sitting area and a refined, residential feel.
Dining on Wind Spirit is relaxed yet sophisticated. Amphora, the main dining room, serves a rotating menu of regionally inspired cuisine crafted with fresh, local ingredients. Veranda offers a bright, airy setting for breakfast and lunch with both buffet and à la carte options. In the evenings, Candles transforms an open deck into a romantic al fresco restaurant featuring expertly grilled entrees under the stars. Room service is available around the clock for those who prefer the privacy of in-suite dining.
Onboard amenities support both leisure and adventure. A small plunge pool and whirlpool provide refreshing spots to unwind with ocean views. The World Spa offers rejuvenating treatments, while the fitness center is equipped with modern cardio and strength-training machines. A standout feature of the ship is the aft watersports platform, which lowers directly into the sea and offers complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear, and more when the ship is at anchor.
Wind Spirit sails to some of the world’s most naturally stunning and culturally rich destinations, including the Greek Isles, Tahiti, the Caribbean, and coastal Central America. Every itinerary is carefully curated to showcase the character and charm of each region, with immersive shore excursions and Windstar’s signature small-port access.
Offering the romance of true sailing, the comfort of a luxury yacht, and the warmth of personalized service, Wind Spirit is a perfect choice for travelers who want to slow down, savor the journey, and experience the world from the water’s edge.
