Windjammer Barefoot Cruises one-day sale

If your inner pirate can't take the snow and is longing to feel the ocean wind in his hair and the Caribbean sun on his back, today's your lucky day.

Windjammer Barefoot Cruises

is running a

24-hour sale

on January and February cruises, and the clock started counting down last night. To get away soon, you'll need to book quickly.

Through 8 p.m. ET tonight, Windjammer is offering "Treasure Isles" cruises on the

Legacy

from $399 per person. The price applies to the January 28 and February 4 departures. The February 4 voyage of the

Polynesia

to the French West Indies can also be had for $399 per person. These sailings depart from the Caribbean, so before you take advantage of these low cruise rates, make sure that your last-minute flight to the islands won't eat up all your savings.

If you'd rather take a little more time to decide, Windjammer has discounted additional departures through January 29 at 8 p.m. ET. The February 11 voyages of the

Legacy

and the

Polynesia

start at $499, while prices for these ships' February 18 and 25 sailings start at $699.

Despite universally liked low rates, Windjammer Barefoot Cruises is not for everyone. The ships are no-frills and very casual, and onboard activities consist of crazy deck games and lots of drinking. It's best for guests who want to let their hair down and embrace their inner pirate. If that sounds appealing, then you and your landlubber mates may have just discovered the buried treasure. If you'd rather walk the plank, you're better off looking for cheap cruises on

Carnival
