The 187-meter “Wind Surf” was built in 1990 at the Atelier et Chantiers du Havre. A modern sail ship, she has a computer-controlled sail surface of 2500 square meters and a relatively shallow draft which allow her to call in ports that are inaccessible to larger cruise liners.
With a crew of 160 and 154 cabins for 300 passengers, life can't be so bad on board...Search labels: cruise ship
