PRIVATE YACHT STYLE WORLD S BEST SMALL SHIP CRUISE LINE Secluded lagoons and intimate harbors are made even more spectacular when seen from the decks of the world s #1-rated Small Ship Cruise Line. The 2014 Condé Nast Traveler Readers Choice Award demonstrates something Windstar guests have known all along that nothing brings your dreams to life like Windstar. Fewer than 300 guests. Large enough to pamper you in luxury, fine dining, and spacious living. Yet small enough to visit tiny islands and remote villages others can t reach. Legendary service. The best on the seas. Visit smaller ports and immerse yourself in exclusive local experiences only Windstar can offer. Voted #1 in the world in value, personal service, and dining. 2 I WINDSTARCRUISES.COM
SMALL SHIP EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANY OTHER CRUISE W ith fewer than 300 companions on board guests soon become friends, not just faces. You accept the open invitation to drop by the Bridge and chat with the Captain just as you would on your own private yacht. And when you find the perfect cove on a perfect day, you abandon other plans and dive off the Watersports Platform into water so clear you can see the coral below. Your lovely yacht takes you right to your destination. Small groups quickly dissipate on shore, circumventing the label of tourist. And exhausting all-day excursions to the likes of Jost Van Dyke, Isla de Coiba, and Isla Culebra are passé. WINDSTARCRUISES.COM I 3
IT S ALL ABOUT YOU #1 SERVICE IN THE WORLD* There you are, stretched out on deck, savoring the gentle sea breeze, and voila! the perfect refreshing drink appears at your side. Or you re just finishing dinner, contemplating the beautiful evening ahead, when presto! your absolute favorite dessert is suddenly in front of you.

CELEBRATION FESTIVAL It s right out of a dream an evening of Polynesian magic on a secluded motu all your own. Inhale the heady scent of your flower lei and tender suckling pig. Feast on tropical delights and meat so tender it almost melts in your mouth. Then as the stars begin to shine, gaze on as dancers dazzle you with their mastery of fire, twirling and throwing flames so fierce you feel the heat from 10 feet away. AN ANTILLEAN EVENING As the sunset paints the pastel buildings of Willemstad s Old Town you watch ships go by, listen to talented local musicians, and admire the Antillean décor of an acclaimed restaurant located in a beautifully restored 18th century building. Dutch, Creole, Venezuelan and Indonesian flavors mingle in the music and the delicious cuisine served on a covered verandah.

FAK AR AVA: LIKE NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH Bora Bora A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve If you re looking to get away from it all, there s no better place than Fakarava, nicknamed End of the World. It s a place that has only recently appeared on the radar of intrepid travelers, with uninterrupted coral gardens, myriad forms of sea life, and rare species found here, and nowhere else. Unlike the other 420 atolls on the planet, the inner lagoon at Fakarava is completely closed, creating a unique ecosystem that s still revealing its mysteries. There are no banks or ATMs. No casinos or duty free shops. Just paradise, the Wind Spirit, and you. Experience the magic with Windstar s Dive and Snorkeling Options (see page 33). Visit a lovely Catholic church built entirely of coral in the late 1800s. The pristine, nutrient-rich lagoon offers the rare conditions needed for pearl farming. Learn how Tahitian pearls are created. Discover impossibly pink sand beaches and uninhabited motus fringed with coconut trees.

TIME FOR YOU OCEAN CROSSINGS Time hangs suspended like the moon above. Pleasures linger like fine wine on the palate rather than being rushed along by the turbulence of daily life. You ve never had days like this free of obligation and with no ruler for success other than meeting your pillow with a smile. You ve never seen stars like this pushing back the abyss of space with impossible brightness. Progress is measured in intimate conversations, sunrises and sunsets, visits to the Bridge, a massage in the spa. There are magical ports on the horizon, yes, but your desire for haste has somehow dissolved away in a sea of serenity. TRANSOCEANIC VOYAGES 36 WINDSTARCRUISES.COM I 35

ONBOARD EXPERIENCE YOUR YACHT IS WAITING A day on board your Windstar yacht is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you ll begin with a relaxing massage in WindSpa. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the state-ofthe-art Fitness Center. Even better, why not both? After an enjoyable lunch in Veranda, make a splash from the Watersports Platform off the yacht s stern. Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, even water skiing. And it s all complimentary, of course. Sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email or grab a DVD for your stateroom or suite in the Library. After dinner, try your luck in the Casino and dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you. As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully. WINDSTARCRUISES.COM I 39
