We are off and running with another fabulous group and several more seriously considering it.  Join Bill and me on this cruise worthy of Greek Gods as you visit the land of myth and legend on the Windstar Wind Spirit, a four masted sailing yacht.  Feast your eyes on Santorini's raven black cliffs draped in Cyclades-blue and white homes.  Visit the sacred island of Patmos, where the Book of Revlation was penned.  Walk on cobblestones worn smooth by peasants and knights in the living medieval cities of Rhodes and Monemvasia.  Stray off the beaten path to Agios Nickolaus to swim in the lagoon whre the goddess Athena was said to bathe.  Blur the lines between dreams and reality as you dine in the shadow of Ephesus at a complimentary Destination Discovery Event.   One of the major highlights of this cruise is the included, exclusive white-glove dinner at Ehpesus under the stars and accompanied by a trio from the Aegean Chamber Orchestra.  This unique experience, one that Bill and I have never done, is sure to make the entire cruise!  We can't wait!   

       The Wind Star Spirit is a sleek four masted sailing yacht, the essence of small ship sailing.  All public areas on the ship have been recently refurbished.  The Wind Spirit holds a maximum of 148 guests.  All staterooms have queen beds, ocean views, TV and fully stocked wine bar.   Staterooms are 188sqft.   Pricing starts at $4943 per person (cruise only) or, all inclusive $5557 per person.  All inclusive includes wifi, unlimited beer, wine and cocktails as well as gratuities and wifi.  WindStar has recently launched it STARLINK Maritime high-speed, advance broadband satelite internet capability.  This cutting-edge technoloby will provide guests with one of the most developed high-speed connections in the world while sailing and in port.  A 15% deposit is due at time of booking.
