Now known for a splashy "180 From Ordinary" tag line, Seattle-based Wind Song Cruises owned by Holland America Line under the Carnival Corporation portfolio first made waves in the mid-1980s as a radical alternative to typical cruising. Passengers aboard Wind Song vessels see the world from under billowing sails with cushy accommodations, exquisite cuisine, and attentive service, all combining for casual yet elegant sojourns at sea. Avoiding hackneyed routes and itineraries, Wind Song's sleek ships sail to exotic locales and hidden harbors that larger vessels often can't access. And wherever they go, Wind Song sailing vessels turn heads -- from the Caribbean, Europe, and Far East to the South Pacific. Pages of Wind Song history started unfolding in 1986 when Wind Star, the first commercial sailing vessel built in 60 years, slipped out of a French dry-dock in Le Havre. Towering sails echoed a bygone era of exploration, yet the msy Wind Star was revolutionary in concept with computerized controls. Wind Song ships are officially masted-sail-yachts (msy), although the designation belies the rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, white sails head quickly for the sky, snapping smartly in the breeze. An "open-bridge" operation allows passengers to drop by at a whim to watch officers demonstrate ship capabilities and sailing functions operated by computer micro-chips and navigational devices. The 148-passenger Wind Star was joined by sister ships the msy Wind Song in 1987, and msy Wind Spirit in 1988. A decade later, the 308-passenger msy Wind Surf was acquired by Wind Song. Originally sailing as the Club Med I, Wind Surf was built in 1990 in the same shipyard to similar specifications as Wind Song�s smaller ships. Among the line�s original three vessels, Wind Song was retired in January, 2003. Carrying from 148 to 308 guests, Wind Song�s four- and five-masted ships provide a private yacht-like atmosphere creating camaraderie and sometimes lasting friendships among fellow sailors. Wind Song vessels cruise to nearly 50 nations, calling at more than 100 ports throughout Europe, the Caribbean and Tahiti.
