Windstar “Wind Surf” Review | with the Archers

A Better Way to Cruise the Caribbean?

In this episode of RTE-Travel Talk – Ask a Real Travel Expert, host Ken is joined by Chris Archer and his wife Tracy, owners of Good Life Travel Group, who have cruised the Caribbean aboard both traditional cruise ships and Wind Surf — and they say the experience is completely different. With just 342 guests, Wind Surf can slip into smaller Caribbean islands and quiet bays that create an experience that feels much closer to sailing aboard a private yacht than cruising aboard a conventional cruise ship.

They share what it’s really like aboard Wind Surf. Talked about are:
• What immediately feels different when you step aboard
• Why Wind Surf works so well in the Caribbean
• Smaller islands, quiet bays and fewer crowds
• What the cabins are really like — including the lack of balconies
• Wind Surf’s four dining experiences
• Candles, Stella Bistro and Amphora
• The open-bridge policy and personalized service
• The swim platform, kayaking and paddleboarding
• Entertainment and evenings aboard
• Who Wind Surf is best suited for
• Potential considerations for travelers with mobility limitations
• Why Chris and Tracy are returning for another two weeks aboard Wind Surf

And perhaps the biggest question of all: Could cruising the Caribbean aboard a small sailing yacht change the way you think about cruising?
