Luxury Adventure Vacation BC

Dreams Under Square Rigger Sails

• Five star cruises under sail on a 4-masted barque (square rigger) built in 1931 or the younger 3-masted square-rigger sister ship christened in 2001
• Outstanding 5-Star service, fine cuisine and charming old-time luxury cabins
• Historic elegance all over, combined with pure GREEN POWER: Wind!

Brilliant white sails, dark & shiny wood, and gentle ocean waves! Beautiful beaches with pure white sand and a soft velvety breeze for anyone longing to turn their back on winter this cruise offers an attractive perspective: summer ahead. Green palm trees sway seductively in the wind. Ten island gems, perfectly cut by nature and mounted in a wonderful sailing route, display their top notch beauty. Every island is a unique solitaire. Every coastline has its own character and its own personal charm. National parks will take you back to nature; elegant harbours invite you to stroll and the Caribbean itself will dazzle you with its brilliant colours.

The Ship
The tangled lashings start to move. It’s time to set sails. Connoisseurs understand the order of proceedings. Anyone else will just see it as a fabulous piece of theatre designed to carry you away into a world full of adventure, and to a time when the seas first began to be discovered. On the deck you will find multiple contrasts in combination: hierarchies of yesteryear with the friendly comradeship of the crew, sailing traditions along with the most up-to-date technology, present-day expectations with a romantic atmosphere, room for privacy together with social encounters. The decks turn out to give you a surprising amount of space. Even after days on board, you can still discover a new favourite spot. In the lounge, the library, the bar and the restaurant, you will be impressed by the stylish ambience and the overwhelming views of the sea at all times of day. And when you wish to retire to your personal domain on board, you have your own generous cabin an elegant kingdom by day or by night. In short, the ship has an elegance and a transforming power that are impressive. Cruise travellers used to home comforts become sailing aficionados; sailing enthusiasts become epicures on extended trips. And as the crew is always on hand, you only have to express a wish and perfection will be served up as if by magic.
