Windstar Cruises Sail Away

Every time a Windstar Cruises ship leaves port, the Bridge plays Vangelis’ 1492, Conquest of Paradise, as the ship sails off to new adventures. It’s one of those moments that you have to experience to really understand the power of the song and the significance of its mark as a start to the next leg of the journey. Especially on a sailing ship (Wind Surf is filmed here). As the sails unfurl and the song crescendos… For our guests who have experienced the Sail Away before, doesn’t this bring back the best memories? Experience it again, or for the first time, on a Windstar cruise. #WindstarCruises #SailShip

Nothing one can say comes close to communicating the thrill of this experience. On more than 25 weekly cruises on the Wind Surf, I have never missed the Sail Away. And two of my friends are in this video. Hello Gail and Dan!!!

Great company to travel with, might just be the best! Sailed on the Star Legend in January and holding those memories especially close right now. Good health everyone!

I've heard that song before

[@zeldafan1942]

It’s called “Conquest of Paradise” by Vangelis, who also composed “Chariots of Fire”!
