NEW CRUISE IDEA

Sailing ships rediscovered

VISIONS OF the high seas lead to visions of tall-masted sailing ships, canvas straining against the wind with the sailors climbing high atop the rigging.

But .for vacationers who yearn for the romance of sail, they often find their dreams dashed when they discover the lack of luxury aboard many sailing ships.

No longer! The romance of sail and the luxury and comfort of modern technology have come to the cruise circuit with Windstar cruise ships — luxury with sails.

Combining the luxury of a regu- lar cruise ship with the romance of sail, the ships give a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience.

As every sailor knows, sailing is a constant series of rapid and careful adjustments. Controlled by

Three diesel-electric engines can be used for ship propulsion as needed.

Using Dacron sail cloth, the six Marconi-type sails can be totally furled in about two minutes — allowing for near-instantancous navigational changes.

Fully decked out, the ship’s 75 outside cabins are a far stretch from the days when sailors bunked in hammocks. Complete with the latest in entertainment and per- sonal care items, the rooms were designed by French architect Mare Held.

Sailing buffs have been known

to pick up a few tips from the cap- tains of this oversized sailing vessel on the flying bridge high above the cool blue waves.

Did ine sailing ships of olde ever travel to a port clogged with tourists? Probably not, and neither will the travellers aboard the Windstar vessels.

Only certain settings will do, and only where nature is unspoiled will the sailing cruises go. French Polynesia in the South Pacific or the Grenadine Islands in the Easter Caribbean are two Windstar cruise destinations — sailing and sun.

Sailing romance married with the technology of today, travelling at nature's pace — that is the new magic of cruises on one of three Windstar vessels.
