The contrast in cruise styles is clear as Star Legend arrives in port on the island of Madeira on a gorgeous spring day. Our small ship can dock along the convenient yacht jetty near the center of the city of Funchal. Meanwhile another cruise ship carrying 10 times more passengers has to tie up at the freight terminal across the harbor. The sounds of regular loudspeaker announcements on the big ship waft across the bay: “Don’t miss the art auction, check out the jackpot bingo and join the poker tournament.”
In contrast to all that noise and prodding, it’s calm and relaxing on Star Legend. Announcements are rarely ever made because guests on Windstar Cruises prefer to set their own schedules. They also like to explore the world with interesting companions on small ships that offer lavish accommodation and attention to details.
