When it turns out that cruises these days aren't particularly safe, even considering all the trappings the ships typically have, you have to wonder: Why not just go crazy with the danger factor?
In port, a few dozen Windjammer passengers — ships range from 64 to 122 passenger capacity — go ashore to explore and experience, unlike the thousands who disgorge from the gleaming white cruise ships — derisively known as "foo foos" among Windjammer faithful — to overwhelm the small islands.
The size of Windjammer ships makes visiting out-of-the-way islands possible: Mayreau, Bequia, Tobago Cays, Dominica, Carriacou, St. Barts or Norman Island, all in the Caribbean.
Actually, it doesn't sound so bad. Check out more here: http://www.windjammer.com
