Ship: Wind Surf
Relax on the beaches of the Caribbean before you begin your ocean crossing of the Atlantic Ocean towards Portugal. Sample some of the best rum punch in the Caribbean in Road Bay, then head off to the British Virgin Islands, where you can walk along Stroll Pusser’s Landing, the lovely boardwalk of Soper’s Hole on Tortola. Snorkel among the sponges and angelfish in Jost Van Dyke’s Sandy Spit or take a speed boat to Little Bay, Anguilla’s smallest and most private beach to swim. When you dock in Virgin Gorda join an excursion to The Baths, an array of caves with shallow pools created by large boulders. The historic town of Gustavia, the capital city on the island of St. Barthelemy, is where you can explore the 17th-century Fort Gustaf known for its lighthouse and cannons. Disconnect as you begin the journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Indulge in breakfast in bed while you lounge in your robe all morning before heading to the spa for a massage and a facial; pop into the Open Bridge for an impromptu navigation lesson; make new friends over pre-dinner cocktails as you savor every moment of the exquisite cuisine created by the onboard chefs; and watch the sunset every night before experiencing more stars in the sky than you ever imagined. Wander the charming port of Ponta Delgada, Azores with its medieval fort and look for the art on the jetty, before heading to your final destination– Lisbon.
Day-by-day description of your cruise and cruise activities.
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
Pastel-colored buildings and shops filled with tempting souvenirs herald your arrival to bustling Philipsburg. Situated near the harbor on the Dutch side of St. Maarten, Philipsburg owes its discovery to Christopher Columbus in 1493. Today, celebrated Front Street is home to a number of local Creole restaurants as well as jewelry stores, stylish boutiques, and lively casinos for visitors seeking an upbeat island experience.
St. John's
St. John’s is a city of Old World charm and elegance which lingers in the varied architecture of Georgian, Victorian, Vernacular, Romantic and International flavors. The picturesque seafront where tiny, colorful boats are moored, the cheerful wooden buildings carefully refurbished to retain their original features, the vibrant Market Street offering vegetables, fruit and fish and the duty-free Heritage Quay shopping area provide a delightful atmosphere to captivate you. Sites to see include St. John’s Cathedral with its white Baroque towers, the Botanical Garden, St. John’s Antigua Lighthouse, and Fort James.
Road Bay
With its protected shoreline, calm surf, spectacular coral reefs and sugar-soft beaches, Road Bay has become a destination for boaters, with its delightful restaurants, bars, and shops. Anguilla has some of the most beautiful sunsets and delicious rum punch to be found in the Caribbean. It is also home to Cuban tree frogs, red-footed tortoise, green iguanas and five species of bats. Worth checking out is Wallblake House, a heritage plantation house and museum said to be the oldest building on the island and located nearby.
Soper's Hole
Arrive at the boardwalk of Pusser’s Landing and mingle with other yachtsmen in the utterly charming marina at Soper’s Hole. Find a deserted stretch of beach to kick back and ponder this tiny port’s rich heritage of romance, pirates, and adventure. An evening departure features a once-in-a-lifetime romantic sunset Sail Away.
Jost Van Dyke, Great Harbour
For an island comprised of a mere eight square miles, it’s amazing how much there is to do on Jost Van Dyke. Visit the national park on nearby Diamond Cay, snorkel among swaying sponges and angelfish at Sandy Spit, or pilot your own boat around Sir Francis Drake Waterway. After all that, you’ll be ready for an evening drink on the beach — where you can admire your Windstar ship aglow in the harbor.

Virgin Gorda / Prickly Pear, British Virgin Islands
<ul>
<li><strong>The beautiful Bank Barrier coral reef wavers just beneath you as your ship makes the break to the bird sanctuary of Prickly Pear Island, so named because it is dotted with prickly pear cacti. Although uninhabited, it does have a beach bar and water sports facilities. Not far away lies the curious assembly of house-sized boulders called “The Baths,” which form huge underground pools and caverns.</strong></li>
