Travellers on Windstar Cruises, which operates a fleet of three motor sailing yachts that explore the world’s most treasured destinations, can choose from 13 7-day roundtrips from Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica aboard msy Wind Star from December 2008 to March 2009.

A range of ports is included in the 7-day sailing from Puerto Caldera, including Playas del Coco, Quepos, Bahía Drake, Curu and Tortuga Island in Costa Rica and San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua.
