Windstar Cruises - Casually Elegant Small Ship Cruising

On any day, our 342-guest flagship, Wind Surf, the world’s largest sailing yacht, draws admiring glances as she glides majestically into port with her tall sails billowing. And her beauty is far more than skin deep. During their cruise, you will find the perfect setting for ‘making an entrance’ in the beautiful reception area – and, appropriately, that’s only the beginning.

The Wind Spirit is a sleek, 4-masted sailing yacht accommodating 148 guests. With four decks and a gross tonnage of 5,736, Wind Spirit feels like your own private yacht.

Wind Star sails with just 148 pampered guests in 74 total staterooms: 73 deluxe, ocean-view staterooms and 1 deluxe Owner’s Suite with queen beds and a dining/sitting area.

Carrying only 312 guests, Star Breeze is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbours and hidden coves that others can’t reach.

Star Legend welcomes 312 pampered guests in 106 suites, including two deluxe Owners' Suites, four beautiful Classic Suites, and 100 Balcony and Ocean View suites.

With only 312 guests, a Star Pride cruise will make you feel like you're on board your own private small yacht almost as soon as you step aboard.

Sailings with Windstar include a lot of special amenities, but one of the most fun (and unique) is the Marina Platform, which allows guests easy access to the ocean around them. The platform exists on each of the seven yachts and includes unlimited use of all marina equipment including stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkel equipment, sailing, swimming, water skiing, and windsurfing. Use of the platform is always weather permitting and only takes place in certain ports during each of the journeys.

Step away from the crowds. Away from towering decks and a thousand people, or even more. Away from lines, from waiting, away from the whole idea of group travel. Step into amazing places, relish intimate cultural experiences, and connect with the world, its people and yourself as only a small yacht can help you do. This is your holiday, your own experience. As individual as you are.

Welcome to the world of small yacht cruising — to Windstar’s graceful small yachts, each one welcoming fewer than 350 privileged guests. With six beautiful yachts, Windstar gives you more true small yacht choices than anyone in the world. Every Windstar voyage starts with you. With a stateroom or suite that’s updated in classic contemporary style with your comfort in mind. With small, handcrafted shore excursions that take you closer and show you more. With legendary service that has been acclaimed the best on the seas. Come away from the ordinary — come to the small yacht world of Windstar.
