How about you change things up a little the next time that you think about cruising?? Island Windjammers offers an amazing week-long cruise aboard the beautiful Diamant.
I had the opportunity to cruise aboard the Diamant last January, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about tall ship cruising at first, but only because it was outside of my comfort zone. I knew it would be nothing like anything I had ever experienced before but, when I thought about it - cruising to tiny islands in the Grenadines, home cooked meals, the opportunity to meet 8 new friends, and the sound of the ocean 24/7 - how could it NOT be the vacation of a lifetime??
As soon as I stepped foot on the Diamant all my skepticism was gone. I was in Paradise.
Here is what a typical day looks like aboard the Diamant:
The day starts with a casual breakfast on the deck that includes a hot entree, fresh fruit, and fresh squeezed juices. Directly following breakfast, the Captain hosts "story time" which is a discussion about the port of call of the day that includes insightful tips.
After breakfast, you may stay on the ship and relax on deck or explore the Caribbean island. Depending on the port, you may be able to swim off the side of the ship. If the day's port of call is at a beach then lunch will likely be served as a picnic on the beach.
In the late afternoon the cook hosts a snack and "swizzle" hour. Swizzles are a delicious blend of fresh juices and rum. The captain is on hand to give an overview the evening's activities as well as a preview of the following day's port of call.
Dinner is a fresh cooked meal and is always casual and is served on deck nightly. If you have any dietary restrictions the chef is happy to accommodate your needs with a delicious alternative.
Complimentary locally brewed beer, wine and soft drinks are available all day!
Whether you're into scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, or just relaxing on the beach - Island Windjammers offers the vacation you've been dreaming of.
