Windstar going back to Costa Rica
Windstar Cruises is returning to Costa Rica in 2005 after a two-year hiatus, offering ten new 7-day cruises, the company announced.
Wind Star will explore Costa Rica on roundtrip itineraries from Puerto Caldera from 29 January to 26 March, as well as in December of next year.
“The quiet elegance and unobtrusive style of Windstar puts us in a unique position to explore the wild and natural beauty of Costa Rica with calls at smaller, less-frequented ports typically unavailable to larger cruise ships,” said Tom Russell, the cruise line’s vice president of marketing and sales.
Costa Rica has long been known as a strong ecotourism destination. Windstar says guest experiences will be augmented by the presence of Naturalist Carlos Picado, a Corta Rica native who will share his insights into the country on each cruise.
Windstar is also offering a collection of custom-designed tours that it says will showcase the natural beauty of Costa Rica. These range from easy and informative walks to far more adventurous explorations, the company says.
