You pay only for the windjammer all-inclusive cruise! Miki absolutely loves her. Ladona is Windjammer luxury which is like glamping on the water with gourmet food, excellent service and a lot of extras. The berths are small as you might expect of a yacht, but they are comfortable; the tile-finished showers have unlimited hot fresh water; the heads seem more like at home than on a sailboat;  and the public spaces are diverse,  plentiful, cozy and meet a variety of needs. You can help sail if you wish. There is a rowboat, fishing and paddle boars available.

We are always in sight of land, although sometimes distantly. Depending on the wind and weather, Bar Harbor and Mt. Desert Island or Maine's outer Islands, puffins, seals and possibly whales await. 

We hope to raft up with other windjammers and perform some nights. We will also work with some of the coastal towns to see if we can perform for them during this high tourist season.

At this time, we plan to begin our improv on land in the surrounds of Rockland ME with a 3 hour on-land session on Wednesday August 26. With Captain's call and a farm to table dinner at PRIMO (not included in cruise costs but is included in Add on packages)

VIF has  also arranged some packages in case you want to arrive more leisurely and take in the Down East summer vibe. 

All prices on Ladona are per space available in the cabin. A queen bed is priced for 2 people. A twin bunk is in a double room but each bunk is priced per person, To turn it into a private room would mean paying for each space in the room . The cost averages $3400 per person but the rooms that have special features are priced slightly higher. 

Cabin 1 : $3600 per bed, special layout, see diagram, This is usually the first room filled on these voyages.

Cabin 2 :$3900 solo room, one long twin bed. This is the only solo cabin.

Cabin 5,7,8,9 :$3500 per person assuming 2 sharing in a queen bed

Cabins 3,4,6 : $3400 per bed for two beds filled in room

*Any queen cabin may be upgraded to solo for a 25% reduction of second berth. Cost= $6025. It might be more fun to invite your partner. They would love the fresh air, sailing, food and company.

It is fine if we sell 50/50 guest and improviser. We will still have an ensemble of 6-7 which would be perfect. We can also perform as an ensemble at the next "land-lubbin' "  VIF and if you wish, submit to festivals to perform!!

You may pay in full , make a $500 deposit to save your space now  and arrange payment through Zelle or set up a payment plan "subscription that pays the total by the beginning of the festival. 

Cruise costs are based on number of people cabin accommodates
