8 Night Cruise sailing from Colon to Hamilton aboard Wind Star.

The Wind Star is a sleek, four-masted sailing yacht accommodating 148 guests. With four decks and a gross tonnage of 5,350, the Wind Star feels like your own private yacht.

Wind Star features wide open, teak decks-quite unusual for small ships. With over 10,000 square feet of open deck space, guests will find hidden nooks for private moments giving them a feeling of being on their own private verandah.

All staterooms have ocean views, queen beds, flat-screen TV with DVD player and Bose SoundDock speakers for Apple iPods. The Owner's Suite includes a sitting area.

Wind Star offers two primary dining venues. The Restaurant offers gourmet, course-by-course cuisine in the evenings and the Veranda restaurant offers casual buffet and full-service dining for breakfast and lunch. All dining is open seating. And, for dining under the stars, make a reservation for Candles which features steaks and skewers.

Highlights of this cruise:

Colon
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.

Hamilton
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.
