Windstar's sailing ship, the Wind Star, will cruise the Pacific waters of Costa Rica from December to March. Guests aboard this intimate ship, which carries just 150 passengers, will have the opportunity to anchor off the coast of several nature reserves, being taken ashore by tender. Stops include: Puerto Caldera, San Juan del Sur (Nicaragua), Playas del Coco, Quepos, Marenco, Tortuga Island, and Curu. These are stops that are not made by large ocean liners - a chance to visit up close many of Costa Rica's natural beauties. Fares start at $1749pp.
