1 Authentic Sailing Adventures On A Tall Ship Windward Islands 7 nights Barbados to Barbados February 9-16, 2019

2 Dear Alumni and Friends, Aboard a Star Clippers ship the ambiance is intimate but the experience is grand. Once you sail with us, you re a part of the family. And it s that family atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year. From exceptional cuisine enjoyed in a casual, open sitting to our international clientele and enhanced enrichment program, taking a Star Clippers cruise means broadening your horizons and setting sail on an adventure that is anything but ordinary. Space is limited. Join us on this unforgettable journey with Wisconsin alumni, family and friends. Please reserve online, by phone, or by returning the enclosed reservation form. Reference Number GROUP G1990. Warm regards, Sarah Schutt Chief Alumni Offcer and Executive Director, Wisconsin Alumni Association Traveling with the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) is now a member benefit, so although anyone UW-Madison graduate or not is welcome to explore the world with Badger travelers, at least one person in your party must be a WAA member to participate in a WAA tour. Membership information is available at uwalumni.com/membership. Experience the Difference Star Clippers operates three of the world s largest and tallest sailing vessels. Visiting ports often untouched by larger cruise ships and offering passengers the activities, amenities and atmosphere of a private yacht, Star Clippers is recognized as one of the premier niche cruise lines. Passengers can enjoy the romance of sailing on board a true tall ship in a relaxed atmosphere with high standards of service provided by an attentive crew. All three ships have expansive teak decks, swimming pools, informal dining, a convivial indoor-outdoor Tropical Bar and a comfortable piano bar. They are large enough to offer first-class accommodation and dining, but small enough to call at intimate ports untouched by large cruise ships. The Wind in our Sails When guests embark on a Star Clippers voyage they immediately notice the beautiful masts and billowing sails that hint at the unique adventure that lies ahead. The ships move under the power of the wind as much as possible, while the engines allow us to maintain a comfortable environment onboard. There s nothing more majestic than watching the sails inch up the mast as the ships gently glide out of port. Are you ready?

3 Caribbean Awarm breeze moves through the air, encouraging the palms to sway to the rhythm of the islands. In the Caribbean, time moves at a slower pace. Put away the cell phones, and lose yourself in the aqua waters. The world you ve discovered is a wonderfully unique Caribbean Paradise. A cruise aboard Royal Clipper is the perfect platform from which to experience adventures in Martinique, where the reefs are a marvel of colorful marine creations, or explore the unspoiled and rich natural beauty of Dominica. At Isle des Saintes, visit its tiny capital Le Bourg, a charmingly picturesque seaside village; and while in St. Kitts, visit the stunning 10-acres Romney Gardens, a photographer s dream. Royal Clipper sails from Barbados to enchanting ports of the Windward Islands. Included Features All food, onboard enrichment programs and lectures, Water Sports Entertainment (sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing and wakeboarding) all activities onboard (knot-tying, navigation classes, etc), complimentary movie rentals to view in your cabin.
