A Windjammer tall ship cruise functions as a hub for a whole variety of boating and exploring opportunities. Typically, the ship is underway from mid-morning until mid-afternoon, at which point it anchors at its next port of call. Daily shore excursions allow passengers to explore historic forts, local culture experiences, colorful shopping, or tropical beaches. And at the end of the day, you always have the option of enjoying a homemade dinner aboard the ship. All meals are included in the price of your cruise, so travel insurance is a good way to protect your investment in a cruise vacation.
As a Clipper passenger, you can borrow sea kayaks and a 13-foot sailing dinghy, after a short instruction session from a crew member. You'll also enjoy snorkeling, stand-up paddle-boarding, and great advice on enjoying some of the Caribbean's most vibrant nightlife.
You can also opt for the unique opportunity of participating in one of two tall ship races, competing against other classic sailing vessels. Both novice and experienced sailors are welcomed to watch or participate with an expert crew in the thrilling competition of the Gloucester Schooner Race or the Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race.
