Search Help
You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:
Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.
→ In the "Advanced Search"
Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.
Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.
→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Part of the Windstar fleet, select Wind Surf itineraries are available through Tauck. Wind Surf, the newest and largest of the three vessels in the Windstar Fleet, is a sleek, five-masted sailing yacht. Wind Surf can accommodate almost double the amount of passengers as it's sister ships, but still keeps the casual and intimate atmosphere avid cruisers expect from Windstar Cruises. Despite the vessel's size, Wind Surf is still quite intimate in size (relative to the rest of the cruising world) and offers itineraries with more exotic ports that larger ships cannot reach, as well as the ability to sail nearby breathtaking coastlines.
Wind Surf offers several dining venues. The Restaurant is the ship's main dining venue, featuring course-by-course, gourmet meals in the evening. The Verandah provides casual buffet or full-service breakfast and lunches. The newest venue aboard Wind Surf is Degrees. This restaurant is by reservation only, and features an alternative Mediterranean menu reflecting the fresh and seasonal preparations of international cooking. Two alternate dining eateries are Candles, serving steaks and skewers, and Le Marché, serving delicious seafood, both located on open decks for dining under the stars. Lastly, for a more private dining, guests can order breakfast, lunch or diner from an extensive room service menu to the their suite or stateroom.
Out of the three ships in the Windstar fleet, and most ships of this class, Wind Surf's spa and fitness facilities are far more classy, elaborate, and packed with the most up-to-date equipment and techniques. Other amenities on the vessel include a salon, casino and lounge, water-sports platform, two pools and two hot tubs. The Yacht Club is the ship’s own library, lounge, cafe/sandwich bar, internet station in one. This venue is decorated with groups of comfy couches and chairs; perfect for enjoying a good book, browsing the internet, or enjoying conversations and quality time with friends. |
