Small Boat Sailing Cruises — Expert Reviews & Articles

Here we share articles and reviews about sailing ships all over the world, from the Indonesian archipelago to the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas.

This group comes under a broad umbrella, from the sails providing the main means of propulsion, to using wind power when the conditions are ideal, or as window dressing with the principal push coming from diesel engines.

Sailing ships of all three variations have a majesty and beauty all their own.

Most of the sail cruises available are found amongst islands in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and in the South Pacific and Indonesia. And there are repositioning transoceanic crossings such as between Europe and the Caribbean drawing the most ardent sailors.

Here are some things that set sailing cruises apart:

• A lot of time is spent up on the open decks; that’s the whole point, to enjoy the sails & the sailing experience.
• Cabins on sailing ships are typically smaller than what you’d find on non-sailing ships.
• You’ll feel the waves & wind on a sailing ship, so it definitely helps to have your sea legs.
