Ah the Mediterranean islands… this is where rugged mountains encounter the vastness of the sea forming infinite beauty wherever you look.

Dive in the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, known to be as warm and almost as crystal clear as in the Caribbean. Explore colourful harbour towns hidden in magnificent bays that only the smallest ships can reach. Stroll the local markets to take in the scents and colours of locally grown oranges and olives. Savour authentic and flavourful cuisine made of fresh sun soaked ingredients giving a taste of everlasting summer. The island of Mallorca will treat you to wild green mountains to striking beaches where it feels good to relax guilt-free.

We will conclude this delightful voyage with a 3-night stay in the lively city of Barcelona. Delve into the Spanish lifestyle, explore Antoni Gaudi’s architectural masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia, and take in all that this Spanish megalopolis has to offer. Do we really need to say more?

With only 148 guests, a Wind Star cruise will make you feel like you're onboard your own private small sailing ship almost as soon as you step aboard. Unpack your bags and cruise all your fatigue away as we set sail for the scenic Mediterranean islands. Enjoy the views of the Mediterranean sea right from your own suite or stateroom. Unlike other sailing ships, each suite on board has an exquisite view of the sea, making it a welcoming retreat. When you're ready to make an appearance, the lounges, club, dining venues and library are waiting to be explored. Take some "you" time in the tranquil WindSpa, enjoy a dip in the pool, work off that decadent dessert in the Fitness Center and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge to examine navigation charts with the Captain. Explore all 4 decks as we sail across the open waters taking you to a new port of call each day. The Wind Star is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbours and hidden coves that others can’t reach. So what are you waiting for? Join us on one of the most leisurely cruises and sail away to the delightful waters and coasts of the Mediterranean.

Rome, Italy: In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history. A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then there are the ancient ruins - Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.

Portoferraio, Italy: Pine-scented forests and miles of sandy beach await your arrival on the tranquil island of Elba. Enjoy a glass of local Moscato with the fresh catch of the day before pondering your next move. Perhaps you’ll visit the nearby countryside with its small fishing villages

and dramatic mountain passes. Or see the calming beauty of Tuscan Archipelago National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Or maybe you’ll decide to walk to the nearest beach and dip your toes into the warm Mediterranean. The choice is yours!

Bastia, Corsica, France: As the principal port of Corsica, Bastia has vibrant historical neighbourhoods with narrow streets and alleys between ancient shuttered buildings dating from the 18th century. One of the main squares is the Place du Marché, home of a morning market and the impressive 16th century Saint-Jean-Baptiste church. On the other side of the harbour sits the substantial citadel, the beautiful gardens of Jardin Romieu and the once very-elegant houses of the Terra Nova district.

Calvi, Corsica, France: The popular tourist spot of Calvi with its crescent-shaped bay and gorgeous beaches, is distinguished by a large medieval citadel that overlooks the marina. Built between the 13th to the 16th centuries, it is basically an entire small town enclosed by fortified walls which offers panoramic views of the harbour and the Corsican coast. Another must-see is the “Big Pink Church,” Orthodox-style L’Église Santa Maria. You may also want to take a walk along the Quai Landry esplanade, lined with quaint restaurants.

Mahon, Spain: What an entrance you will make as you cruise into one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. Picturesque Mahon is home to lovely white-sand beaches and delightful architecture, a gin distillery, and a dairy plant where delicious white cheese is made. Palma de Mallorca, Spain: Mallorca is steep, green, and fringed with enticing coves and more than 200 lush beaches. Stroll along the tree-shaded Paseo de Born in search of tapas. Shop for a Siurell; a traditional red, green, and white clay whistle dating back to the time of the Moors. Watch the street performers on the piazza around the church, or cross the island to beautiful Sóller, a typical Mediterranean town. Not to be missed is the cultural landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Barcelona, Spain: The old meets the new in this sunny Catalan metropolis, where narrow alleyways contrast with grand boulevards, trendy cuisine meets homemade tapas, and everywhere you’re greeted by the warm, welcoming smiles of the fashionable locals. Don’t miss UNESCO sites like the mind-boggling architecture of Antoni Gaudí or La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, with its eight decorative spires soaring hundreds of feet into the sky.
