At your request, it can be beautifully set with a course-by-course dinner from The Restaurant. Celebrating special occasions is a specialty of Seabourn yachting life.

Windjammer Barefoot Cruises Redefining the concept of cruise line travel, Windjammer Barefoot Cruise Lines specializes in intimate getaways where passengers enjoy a private yacht atmosphere and the unique sensation of unconditional freedom aboard a ship each passenger is free to think of as his own. Friendships are forged and unforgettable memories are made aboard the beautiful sailing ships of the Windjammer cruise line. A vacation aboard the S.V. Legacy, S.V. Mandalay, S.V. Polynesia or the S.V. Yankee Clipper is one not quickly forgotten.

Life With Windjammer Windjammer shipmates are a motley crew of interesting folks from all over the U.S. and abroad. You won't know if the guy or gal sitting next to you is the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company or an average "Joe." And the best part is... no one cares. Once your ship sets sail, it's all about relaxing and getting into the down-island groove. Any pretenses are quickly forgotten, and a familiar sense of camaraderie soon develops among passengers. Life Onboard If you've never felt weathered teakwood beneath your bare feet, now's your chance. Our spacious decks are a focal point of activity. It's where ship-mates gather to lounge, sunbathe, read, socialize, dance and party from sun-up to sundown. Above all, the atmosphere onboard is relaxed, casual and comfortable - a place where you can let your hair down. At night, bring your bedding to the top deck and sleep under the stars while the ship is under sail. We guarantee you'll feel like a kid or a carefree pirate!

Life Ashore We've been cruising "down island" for more than 50 years. Like the pirates of yesteryear, we know all the right people in all the right places. Windjammer's tour planners spend grueling hours researching and selecting onshore excursions that are fun, authentic, and designed to put you face - to - face with the local environment and culture. Each day, shipmates may be offered a selection of 3-4 tours that range from mellow (snorkeling tours) to active (hiking) to adrenaline-pumped (all-terrain vehicle jungle adventures). Dining Dining aboard Windjammer is casual and relaxed. No tuxedos, ties or feather boas required. Come in a bathing suit and t-shirt if you like- just bring an appetite. Meals are social occasions for sharing stories and good food in the company of interesting and friendly shipmates. The good thing is, you can meet someone new at each meal as there are no fixed seating arrangements. Shipmates are free to roam and sit with whomever.

Bring the Whole Family Awesome! That’s the best way to describe the thrill of sailing on a tall ship. The fun starts the moment you cross the gang plank. Hook-up with kids and teens your own age as we raise the sails, catch a tradewind and head for a week of adventure. Trek through the lush canopy of a natural rainforest. Buzz around on a jet ski or snorkel coral reefs alive with colorful fish. Hike to the top of a waterfall and plunge in for a cool swim. By the end of the cruise, you’re sure to have a bunch of friends to add to your buddy list. Kids as young as 6 are more than welcome to sail with us year round.

S. V. Legacy This four-masted Barquentine, formerly the France II, was built in 1959 by Forges et al Meditterranee of Le Havre, France and served as a meteorological research vessel for the French Government. Acquired by Windjammer in 1989, she was renovated with custom interiors, spacious accommodations and state-of-the-art navigational systems. She blends nautical tradition with modern comfort. Redefining the concept of cruise line travel, Windjammer Barefoot Cruise Lines specializes in intimate getaways where passengers enjoy a private yacht atmosphere and the unique sensation of unconditional freedom aboard a ship each passenger is free to think of as his own. Friendships are forged and unforgettable memories are made aboard the beautiful sailing ships of the Windjammer cruise line. A vacation aboard the Windjammer S.V. Legacy is one not quickly forgotten.
