Windstar Cruises calls the Central America and Costa Rica area, " A small jewel, where nature is the show . . . blessed with more butterflies and birds than most continents . . . where dolphins and turtles swim in startlingly clear seas."

Whether you're in search of adventure in a tropical rainforest, or are looking for an endless supply of surf and fun, Central America cruising has become an ideal cruise destination. It's an area that offers a wealth of diversity as a nature lover's paradise where it's easy to find as much action or relaxation as one could want. You can hike through a jungle, climb a volcano, lounge on a pristine white sand beach, or seek adventure in a natural paradise - from scuba diving, snorkeling, whitewater rafting, and bird-watching.

Most of the time, ships stop in Central American ports as part of a Panama Canal or Western Caribbean Itinerary; however, there a few cruises that are exclusive to Central America and Costa Rica. These 7-night cruises depart from Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica seasonally between November and December.
