It's the height of summer, the perfect moment to plan a winter getaway that keeps the good weather going. On Wind Spirit, that means the Canary Islands, an Atlantic crossing to Barbados or both.
Winter in the Canaries looks surprisingly like spring — mild across all seven volcanic islands, no two of them alike. On this 148-guest sailing yacht, you reach the small western islands few travelers ever see: La Gomera's UNESCO cloud forest, El Hierro's natural rock pools and La Palma's colonial old town under some of the world’s starriest skies.
On Lanzarote, malvasía vines grow in craters on black volcanic ash, ringed by low walls of stone. Madeira closes the loop with an overnight in Funchal, a cable car up to Monte and a wicker toboggan back down.
Or point west from La Gomera — Columbus's last stop before the crossing — and follow the route to Barbados. The sea days are yours: sails up in the trade winds, evenings under an outsized sky, and UNESCO-listed Bridgetown at the far end.
Our Christmas in July Sales Event gives you even more reasons to say yes:
