Cruise overview

Live out your dreams of ziplining and hiking through the Costa Rican rainforest, and explore the Mexican Riviera from Mayan ruins to mezcal and mole on this 8-day voyage. Costa Rica’s biodiversity and natural beauty is astounding, and you’ll experience it at its best with three Costa Rican ports, two of which are Windstar exclusives: Playas del Coco and Curu Wildlife Reserve. Wade ashore in a “wet landing” at Curu, then follow your guide in search of rare rainforest creatures including spider monkeys and scarlet macaws, both of which have been successfully reintroduced into this private refuge. Snorkel the pure waters of Playas del Coco with its 2-mile-long beach of dark sand. Go sportfishing in the “sailfish capital of the world,” Manzanillo. And get a 3-D picture of Mexico’s wonderful culture and history as you travel from Mayan temples to small fishing villages and coffee plantations high in the Sierra Madre. Outdoor and culinary adventures keep you enthralled: discover crocodiles and turtles in the mangroves, taste chocolate that’s nothing like the candy bars you know and learn to cook authentic Mexican dishes from the freshest local ingredients. From creatures to culture, this cruise has it all. As an added bonus, you’ll cruise this region in April, one of the best months to visit, as the dry season is ending, and waters are at their clearest. It is a wonderful time for watersports and for wildlife watching, as everything from turtles to birds are nesting or raising young.
