Windstar Cruises is extending its 10-day sale on select October 2008 sailings in Europe aboard Wind Surf on new bookings made by July 25, 2008. I sailed on the Wind Surf a couple of years ago between Barcelona and Lisbon and loved sailing on this distinctive ship.

Passengers can choose from three 7-day European itineraries. Cruises between Rome and Barcelona set sail on Oct. 5 and Oct. 26, 2008. A Barcelona to Monte Carlo cruise sets sail on Oct. 12, 2008, and a Monte Carlo to Rome cruise sets sail on Oct. 19, 2008. Rates for the select 7-day Wind Surf sailings begin at $1,799 per person, double occupancy.
