Do you really need a balcony?

That is the optimal question, on any other cruise line a balcony is a retreat from all the other passengers, on Windstar the sailing yacht is your own private balcony. Yes the deck space is shared with others, but with a small set of passengers that actually enjoy the open space it does feel like your own private space.

Small ship cruising is different and if you are one to enjoy activities than this type of cruising is not for you. On the other hand if you like pure relaxation and conversation with other adults then you have picked the right cruise.
