Windjammer Cruise Line

Originally founded in 1947 by Captain Mike Burke, Windjammer Barefoot Cruises operates a number of handsome original tall ships as well as one motor vessel, Amazing Grace, which also serves as a supply ship for the rest of the fleet. With its very casual lifestyle - the term "dress code" is not known onboard Windjammer's ships - and its destination-intensive and "back to basics" cruises, the company not only attracts traditional cruise passengers that would like a "different experience", but also people who would probably never take a cruise on a "normal" cruise ship.
