Windjammers trips in Maine have some key things that make them different than other cruises besides the ships themselves.
- Most board the night before departure. The main exception is for short "weekend cruises" that often board Friday afternoon and return Sunday.
- No set itinerary: Wind, current,weather and your captain's whim determine your route.
- Limited electric power.
- Meals cooked on either wood, kerosene or diesel stoves within your view.
- Passengers are encouraged(but never required) to become part of the crew for sailing, anchoring, and mealtime chores.
- Very simple and compact accomodations
- Drinks other than the basics such as water, juices, and coffee/tea are brought on ship by passengers according to their own desires.
- Entertainment is informal: Cards, Music, Storytelling, Reading...etc.
