Windjammer Capital of the World hosts birthday
North America’s first and oldest fleet of wind-powered sailing vessels for passengers, Maine Windjammer Cruises, is celebrating its 75th season of what it calls “authentic Maine sailing adventures.”
“Since 1936, these cruises have lured guests from around the world by offering unique and spectacular, all-inclusive, eco-friendly vacations at modest rates,” the company says.
As part of the birthday, “Old Salts,” or those who have cruised before, are invited to sail for the same rate as their first cruise. Complimentary books on windjammer cruises are also being issued.
Camden, Maine became known as the ‘Windjammer Capital of the World’ thanks to Frank Swift, founder of Maine Windjammer Cruises, according to the company.
“In an increasingly hectic and changing world, these timeless adventures offer a reprieve from daily life and work,” the company says.
Trips offer private accommodations, hot showers, homemade meals cooked on a wood stove, barbeques and lobster bakes, “spectacular views” and plenty of fresh air, the line says.
Typical stops include island fishing villages, quiet coves, coastal towns and uninhabited islands.
No prior sailing experience is required, and assisting the crew is optional.
