Windjammer Barefoot Cruises hosts several theme cruises a year such as singles cruises and “Rum Race” cruises. The most recent Rum Race cruise took place from April 30, 2007 to May 12, 2007. During this special theme cruise, passengers learned everything there is to know about rum. The two-week cruise, starting at around $1,200, featured stops at the most beautiful islands in the Grenadines and Venezuela. This very rummy cruise also included 1-2 days of blue water sailing.

Windsurf, kayaking, swimming with the dolphins, and rain forest hikes are just a few of the activities kids will enjoy and for smaller children, programs include scavenger hunts, museum visits and snorkeling.
