After a restless overnight at a Seattle airport hotel, we were up at 3am to begin the hurry and wait of modern air travel.

Day 1 Colon, Panama
Colon’s history has always been defined by the desire for the riches of its natural resources. From its gold and silver to its value as a trade route made possible by the Panama Canal, Colon is today known for the Zona Libre – the largest free-trade zone in the Americas. The Zona Libre links producers in North America, the Far East and Europe with the Latin American market. As such, it is home to more than 1,600 companies and several dozen banks. Far less commercial, the area surrounding the city encompasses pristine beaches, lowland rainforests, splendid colonial architecture and wonders of modern engineering. This variety of environments allows a wide range of activities that include snorkeling in the clear Caribbean waters, exploring ruins or even marveling at the massive locks on the other side of the Panama Canal.
Days 2-7 At Sea
Relax aboard your cruise ship while you cruise the Caribbean waters towards Bermuda.
Day 8 Hamilton, Bermuda
Bermuda’s capital is a lively port town where two-story pastel-colored Victorian buildings line the seafront. But it would be a mistake to assume that Hamilton’s economy depends on tourism. The city is also Bermuda’s epicenter of politics and commerce, where people go to conduct business and power-lunch. At once quaint and cosmopolitan, Hamilton offers travelers an enjoyable variety of activities. An abundance of restaurants from delightful cafes to impeccable fine-dining establishments beckon. In fact, half of all Bermuda’s dining spots are located in Hamilton. On certain summer nights, waterfront streets close to traffic for boisterous Harbour Nights parties. Other recreational opportunities include golfing, shopping, exploring the mysteries of the sea at Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, or paying a visit to Bacardi’s headquarters. Overnight in port.
Day 9 Hamilton / Disembark
Disembark this morning for your continued journey home.

Wind Star
- Ship Highlights
- Passengers : 148
- Luxury Expedition Ship
Wind Star was created in the 1986 with the vision to offer an alternative to the typical cruise or resort vacation. The Wind Star passenger sees the world from a romantic sailing ship with luxurious accommodations, a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and exquisite service and cuisine. Cruise the waters of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Central America and more onboard the Wind Star.
Wind Star is officially a motor-sail-yacht (msy), but the designation belies the vessels' unique rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky. All functions are operated from the bridge by computer micro-chips and navigational devices. The unusual "open-bridge" operation allows guests to drop by and acquaint themselves with the veteran captains and officers who demonstrate the ships' intriguing capabilities to modern day explorers.
This ships unique concept of sailing has led the cruise industry in the luxury small ship, casual attire, and alternative dining arenas. Pioneering and refining these concepts has earned the Wind Star an excellent reputation and market niche, winning the allegiance of a new generation of contemporary cruise vacationers, one-third of whom are first-time cruisers.
Teak decking, rich wood interiors, an attentive service staff, intimate surroundings, eclectic artwork, exceptional signature cuisine featuring both light and vegetarian menu selections, and an extensive wine list are some of the extraordinary elements of this exceptional ship.
Passengers are cradled in comfort as all staterooms and suites offer ocean views, sitting area, new LCD flatscreen TV, DVD, CD player, iPod Nanos and Bose SoundDocks systems, safe, mini-bar/refrigerator, international direct-dial phones, bathroom with luxurious pampering toiletries, hair dryer, plush terry cloth robes, and an abundance of closet space. The library on board stocks an array of international newspapers, books and games, as well as a multi-media selection of more than 500 DVD titles and compact discs available for complimentary check-out.
Carrying just 148 guests, the Wind star exudes a private-yacht-like atmosphere creating camaraderie and lasting friendships between fellow sailors. Every day aboard the Wind Star brings the promise of new horizons and harbors to explore.
An interesting mix of shore excursions and complimentary water sports activities are available at each destination. Passengers may find themselves slicing through Caribbean waters or exploring archaeological ruins in Greece, the "Cradle of Civilization." Water buffs can enjoy complimentary water-skiing, windsurfing, snorkeling, and kayaking from the ship's aft Water Sports Platform.
