Island Windjammers Diamant Cruise Reviews

My husband and I went on a similar cruise 20 years ago for our honeymoon and finally got around to making a similar trip to celebrate our anniversary. We flew from Southern California with our good friends to celebrate our anniversaries in hopes it would be an amazing and memorable vacation. Needless to say, it was even better than we remembered! From day 1, the crew consisting of Simon, the ...

I have always wanted to take a small cruise (less than 25 people). I found Islandwindjammers on the web and read Cruise Critic as well as their website before booking. The cruise lived up to expectations and more. The booking and pre-cruise process was great, very personable with quick responses to my every question. They recommended and arranged pre-cruise private tours and airport transfers. ...

This was the first cruise that either my husband or I have ever been on. After booking the trip over 14 months in advance, we counted the days to our vacation through the cold and bleak Pennsylvania winter of 2013-2014. We were ready for sun and relaxation when we arrived in Grenada. We were not disappointed. We spent the entire day before boarding the Diamant touring Grenada with a local guide ...

My wife Alison and I enjoyed our 3rd trip with island Windjammers on SV Diamant in March of 2015, we were joined by friends who had sailed with us last year on Sagitta, another Island Windjammer vessel We joined Diamant on Friday March 13th after a three day stay at The Radisson Hotel on Grand Anse Beach. We met our new shipmates, and introductions were made over a few “rumageddons” before ...

Just returned from the "Tempting 10" sailing on the Diamant. Had a great time. We sailed 9 times with Windjammer Barefoot Cruises, unfortunately they are no longer in business. We couldn't wait to sail again on a tall ship. Even though the Diamant is a smaller ship, there was plenty enough room for the 11 passengers and 6 crew. Cabins were surprisingly spacious with a nice size bathroom with a lot ...

First time for us (man & wife) taking a cruise, we were wow'd every single day - getting to small places big ships don't/can't go, being flexible enough to proceed under sail (with ample power assist if chosen) rather than always under power, swimming off the side of the ship (100'+ long), getting to know crew and fellow vacationers (crew of 6, + 6 staterooms which were fully booked, so 12 ...

As a former Windjammer passenger - Mandalay on their BVI itinerary in June 2005 - I can say with pleasure that I got what I expected in terms of the Windjammer 'essence' but without all the juvenile stuff. This is a cruise for adults, but not in the swinger sense. I mean grown ups who appreciate a good conversation over dinner. Who are more interested in the wildlife than the nightlife. Who ...

in general and who isn't even a very strong swimmer. But by the end of day 1, they had me. From the professional crew and the comfortable quarters, I knew this was going to be a great week. The Diamant is a wonderful little ship for exploring the Grenadine Islands. Island Windjammers does a bang-up job from start to finish. Reservations are easy and questions are promptly answered. Transfers ...

Let me start by saying I am a project manager by trade and, like work, I typically list and post it note myself into a frenzy on vacation, trying deperately to micro manage every second to ensure that I make the most of the trip. Sailing on the Diamant was...well...the absolute OPPOSITE of the traditional frenzied, tour and attraction laden vacation. This trip was a little slice of ...
