hiking in costa rica

Book by November 15 to Seize the Perks

Costa Ricans have an expression for their relaxed, stress-free lifestyle: pura vida. Literally translated, it means “pure life,” but it’s more than their saying — it’s their way of life. You can experience the pura vida lifestyle as it’s meant to be experienced while cruising there with Windstar.

Enjoy the Good Life
At barely 19,000 square miles, the country of Costa Rica may be small, but it boasts an incredible breadth of ecological diversity. Rainforests, volcanoes, pristine lakes, white- and black-sand beaches, hot springs, and cloud forests are just some of the many natural features to discover. The country is also bordered on two sides by oceans, making it ideal to explore aboard one of Windstar’s small ships with 7- to 18-day voyages available.

Our Costa Rica cruises are remarkable, though one way to discover more of this country is with our 11-day Monteverde Cloud Forest & Arenal Volcano Cruise Tour aboard our 148-guest sailing ship, Wind Star or Wind Spirit. This Cruise Tour pairs a 7-day voyage with an unrivaled opportunity to explore the inland beauty of Costa Rica. Discover lush cloud forests and the country’s most prominent volcano while enjoying four hotel stays, meals, admission to numerous attractions, and all transfers to and from sites, hotels, and your ship.
