Frequently Asked Questions
They are not, at the base fare. A daily service charge writes itself onto the onboard account and another is added to every bar purchase. The line's optional package is the only way to settle them in advance.
They are not. Wine, beer and cocktails are charged as you drink, and a service charge is added to the bar bill. Two choices: pay as you go, or take the package before departure.
It is charged separately, or through the package. Check the real capacity before promising your office you will be reachable: on a ship this size it is not a given.
They are charged in every case, package or not. Worth knowing, because on the busiest itineraries this is the line that climbs fastest once you are on board.
The All-In package brings together three things that are otherwise charged: drinks, Wi-Fi and the daily service charge. It has to be taken before departure. Excursions stay outside it. Work it out from your habits rather than from the sales pitch.
Not on the three sailing ships, which have neither lift nor wheelchair-accessible cabin. Yes on the three yachts, which also advertise modified-accessible cabins. Confusing the two families is the costliest mistake you can make here.
Your counterparty is a Marshall Islands company whose principal office is in Miami. The text names United States maritime law, then Florida's, and sends personal injury to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
There is one, and it is broad. Personal injury keeps the court route; everything else goes to binding arbitration in Miami-Dade County. The contract also has you waive any class action in advance.
Ninety days to report an ordinary claim after you return, six months to start arbitration. For personal injury, six months' notice and one year to sue. Those clocks start at the end of the voyage, not when you notice the problem.
The guarantee does not come from the line, which has no established Quebec licence, but from the agency selling it: a licence from the Office de la protection du consommateur, a trust account and cover by the compensation fund for travel agency customers.
No advertised call is guaranteed, and the contract is explicit about it. Delay, deviation, cancellation, ship substitution: all of it is open to the carrier. Choose your cruise for the region rather than for one particular port.
She was launched in 1989 as the La Fayette, at the Societe Nouvelle des Ateliers et Chantiers du Havre, and renamed Club Med 1 on 14 January 1990. She sailed eight years for the French club before Windstar bought her in 1998.
One hundred and eighty-seven metres, five masts and two thousand three hundred and twenty square metres of sail: she is one of the largest sailing cruise ships in the world. Fourteen thousand seven hundred and forty-five gross tons, six decks, and one hundred and seventy-one cabins including twenty-one suites.
Three hundred and forty-two, more than double the fleet's two small sailing ships. Crew numbers are given differently by different sources, from one hundred and seventy-eight to two hundred and ten: we do not settle it.
The programme is documented: major refit in 2012, twenty days in drydock at Navantia in Cadiz in November 2019, then a two-phase overhaul, the first in November 2024 and the second announced for December 2026. Check where that programme stands for the date you have in mind.
