Few getaways are as totally relaxing and restorative as a cruise on a traditional windjammer. Truly a sail back into history, the few days or week you spend aboard will transport you to an era when destinations were determined by the winds and tides, and the time spent getting there was a reward in itself.

You'll settle into a cozy spot on deck and watch the beautiful scenery go by as the waves wash past your vessel's big, strong hull. When it's time to raise or drop the sails, you can lend a hand and learn the ways of sailing as well as the traditions of the sea.

Pack your comfortable clothes, those books you've been meaning to read, a camera or sketchbook, binoculars, and a readiness to slow down and enjoy every moment. You'll sail among uninhabited islands, across protected waters, and into quiet coves and quaint harbors where you'll have time to explore ashore once the anchor is down each evening. It's no wonder so many people return year after year to make a windjammer cruise a treasured part of their summer vacations.
