Day 1 St Martin, FWI
Half-Dutch, half-French, the island of Saint Maarten/St. Martin is considered the smallest territory in the world shared by two sovereign states. Only a small welcome sign on the road indicates you have passed from one country to another, but the contrasts are marked. Marigot, on the French side, is small and chic – a kind of St. Tropez of the Caribbean, lined with shops, bistros, and charming cafés. Philipsburg on the Dutch side features Front Street, whose gingerbread West Indian buildings house excellent duty-free shopping. St. Martin has 37 white sand beaches, each with its own unique feel.
Day 2 Basse Terre, St Kitts
Basseterre, set against the irresistible backdrop of St. Kitts' emerald green hills and punctuated by elegant Georgian architecture, is one of the best of the Caribbean's small capitals.
Day 3 Tortola & Virgin Gorda
Legend has it that after Christopher Columbus discovered the other Caribbean islands, he returned to Tortola to live. Tortola is a sailor’s isle, its wealth of inlets and harbors having been transformed into luxurious moorings and mini-ports for Caribbean yachtsmen. Days revolve around water sports and sunbathing on stunning beaches like Cane Garden Bay, with its deep wide sand bed, gentle slope, and terrific views.
The most chic resorts of the British Virgin Isles are located on Virgin Gorda, an eight-square-mile island divided nearly in two, with settlements at each end. The south of the island is best known for the curious assembly of house- sized rocks called “the Baths,” which are jumbled together to form huge underground pools and caverns. The beach at the Baths is large, wide, and sandy – perfect for sunning and swimming.
Days 4-5 Virgin Gorda & Jost Van Dyke
Inviting beaches and tiny shops selling local treasures welcome you to the quiet island haven of Jost Van Dyke. Don't miss dining with your feet in the sand at Foxy's on the beach-a perfect lunch stop!The most chic resorts of the British Virgin Isles are located on Virgin Gorda, an eight-square-mile island divided nearly in two, with settlements at each end.

Days 6-7 St Barthelemy, FWI
Tiny, picture-perfect St. Barts has long been the haunt of the very rich who come for privacy, gorgeous beaches, and exquisite French cuisine. It has 20 or more magnificent beaches, linked by hilly narrow roads you can explore in open-air Jeeps or “mini-mokes.” In Gustavia, the island’s Lilliputian port, quaint streets lead past small markets and bakeries – and dozens of small shops selling French perfumes, sportswear, watches, and crystal.
Day 8 Disembark in Marigot, St Martin
Return to Marigot for disembarkation.

Wind Spirit
- Ship Highlights
- Passengers : 148
- Luxury Expedition Ship
Wind Spirit was created in the 1988 with the vision to offer an alternative to the typical cruise or resort vacation. The Wind Spirit passenger sees the world from a romantic sailing ship with luxurious accommodations, a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and exquisite service and cuisine. Bask in luxury while exploring worldwide destinations: Mediterranean, Caribbean, Europe and more!
Wind Spirit is officially a motor-sail-yacht (msy), but the designation belies the vessels' unique rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky. All functions are operated from the bridge by computer micro-chips and navigational devices. The unusual "open-bridge" operation allows guests to drop by and acquaint themselves with the veteran captains and officers who demonstrate the ships' intriguing capabilities to modern day explorers.
This ships unique concept of sailing has led the cruise industry in the luxury small ship, casual attire, and alternative dining arenas. Pioneering and refining these concepts has earned the Wind Spirit an excellent reputation and market niche, winning the allegiance of a new generation of contemporary cruise vacationers, one-third of whom are first-time cruisers.
Teak decking, rich wood interiors, an attentive service staff, intimate surroundings, eclectic artwork, exceptional signature cuisine featuring both light and vegetarian menu selections, and an extensive wine list are some of the extraordinary elements of this exceptional ship.
Passengers are cradled in comfort as all staterooms and suites offer ocean views, sitting area, new LCD flatscreen TV, DVD, CD player, iPod Nanos and Bose SoundDocks systems, safe, mini-bar/refrigerator, international direct-dial phones, bathroom with luxurious pampering toiletries, hair dryer, plush terry cloth robes, and an abundance of closet space. The library on board stocks an array of international newspapers, books and games, as well as a multi-media selection of more than 500 DVD titles and compact discs available for complimentary check-out.
Carrying just 148 guests, the Wind Spirit exudes a private-yacht-like atmosphere creating camaraderie and lasting friendships between fellow sailors. Every day aboard the Wind Spirit brings the promise of new horizons and harbors to explore.
An interesting mix of shore excursions and complimentary water sports activities are available at each destination. Passengers may find themselves slicing through Caribbean waters or exploring archaeological ruins in Greece, the "Cradle of Civilization." Water buffs can enjoy complimentary water-skiing, windsurfing, snorkeling, and kayaking from the ship's aft Water Sports Platform.
- Fares are capacity controlled, based on double occupancy and subject to change without notice.
- Many shore excursions are offered and are an additional cost, please call for more details.
Complimentary water sports are available when ships are at anchor and where conditions and local government authorities permit. Mediterranean voyages offer limited water sports activities. In the event of turbulent seas and adverse weather conditions, water sports may be cancelled for safety reasons.
