James Beard Foundation & Wine Cruise: Windward Ways & Tobago Cays
They say you can't please everyone, but this cruise through the Windward and ABC islands may just prove them wrong.
Those who love snorkeling and diving will be on Cloud 9 as they swim with fish and sea turtles in Tobago Cays Marine Park, Bonaire National Marine Park, and the proposed Speyside Marine Protected Area. There's also plenty for nature lovers on land. From Man-o-War Bay, swim in a picture-perfect waterfall pool surrounded by the oldest Forest Reserve in the Western Hemisphere. Take in the Bali-like beauty of the Pitons on St. Lucia, where rainforest meets some of the healthiest coral reefs in the Caribbean. And discover Bonaire, with its stunning desert-palette motifs like pink flamingos on white salt pans.
Those who are looking for the classic Caribbean will find it in Mayreau - just 1.5 square miles with fewer than 300 inhabitants, only reachable by boat. And those who love colonial harbors can enjoy British Bridgetown with its UNESCO garrison as well as the triple Dutch treat of Kralendijk, Willemstad, and Oranjestad.

Star Pride
Star Pride is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbours and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
