Romance on the Rivieras

Can you picture it? Matisse at his easel overlooking the blue Mediterranean as he paints plein-air. Grace Kelly and Cary Grant driving the spectacular Grand Corniche above Monaco in a powder blue convertible. Those same stars walking the red carpet at Cannes. The French and Italian Rivieras have lured visitors for generations with their delicious climate, gorgeous beaches, charming old hill towns and quaint fishing villages. But that’s not all. Come experience the seductive quality of light that Monet called “so bright, so luminous” and see how it shines on medieval towers and boulangeries, on the traditional Provençal fishing boats bobbing in Sanary-sur-Mer’s harbor, on Monte Carlo’s famous casino. Explore even further on excursions to Nice and Eze, the perfumeries of Grasse or Aix en Provence, the spectacular cliffside villages of Cinque Terre, or even Pisa and Florence.

Your Ship: Wind Surf

Wind Surf, the world’s largest sailing ship, draws admiring glances as she glides majestically into port with her tall sails billowing. And her beauty is far more than skin deep. During their cruise, you will find the perfect setting for ‘making an entrance’ in the beautiful reception area – and, appropriately, that’s only the beginning.

When you return to your stateroom, the luxury gets personal. Windstar’s signature bowl of fresh fruit will still be waiting for you, along with rich tufted headboards, soft seascape colors, beautiful new upholstery, and fine count Egyptian cotton linens welcome you to an oasis of relaxing indulgence.

Wind Surf underwent a significant renovation of public spaces and suites, including an expanded lounge with new lights and sound for upcoming stage performances. Relax into the destinations you’re visiting at the new World Spa by Windstar, which will offer regional spa treatments, including massage styles like Swedish, Japanese Shiatsu and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. An Officer’s Suite, which might be the only one of its kind, provides you with the chance to stay in the heart of the officer quarters tucked right behind the Bridge.

Everything about Wind Surf speaks of welcome. Come aboard and see it for yourself.
