Meet the Windstar Fleet...
The moment you see the brilliant white sails you relax. Cares melt away. The salt-sea air brings with it a sublime sense of freedom. When was the last time you felt so confident…so calm…so deliciously carefree? As your ship sails off, the known world slips away. In its place lies a world of elegance and luxury. A world of artful service, relaxing massages, champagne at midnight. Best of all, only 148 privileged guests on the Wind Spirit and Wind Star (308 on Wind Surf ) will share this special voyage. With the snap of a crisp white sail, this vacation will become an adventure. And life as you know it will be 180° from Ordinary.
In late 1986, the first commercial sailing vessel built in 60 years slipped out of a French dry-dock in Le Havre. Although the towering sails echoed a bygone era of explorers, the msy Wind Star, with its sleek lines and computerized controls, was revolutionary in concept and design.
Windstar’s ships are officially motored-sail- yachts (msy), but the designation belies the vessels unique rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky. All functions are operated from the bridge by computer microchips and navigational devices. The unusual “open-bridge” operation allows guests to drop by and acquaint themselves with the veteran captains and officers who demonstrate the ship’s intriguing capabilities to modern day explorers. A new era in luxury cruising was now being pioneered by Windstar Cruises.
Passenger Capacity:
148 passengers (based on double occupancy).
There is a world behind your stateroom door. It has everything you need. You can live on room service 24 hours a day. Or stop by the ship's multimedia library and see which of over 500 videos and 500 compact discs you'd like to take back to your room. If you've slept in, you'll find a table for breakfasting or writing letters. And there's a mini-bar stocked daily with fresh juices, sparkling water and wine. Bathrooms are truly luxurious - lined with mirrors and graced with amenities like terry robes, a shower, a hair dryer, fragrant soaps and plenty of plush towels. In the full-length closets and in drawers throughout the room, you'll find storage generous enough for a transatlantic crossing. Have you ever been rocked to sleep by the ocean? When was the last time you whiled away hours by yourselves? Close the door. Dream.

At nearly three times the size of her sister ships, the Wind Surf carries just 308 pampered guests in 154 total staterooms: 31 ocean-view suites and 123 deluxe ocean-view staterooms. What that means in real terms is wide-open deck spaces; new services and lots of little extras that make a Windstar cruise remarkable.
Self-improvement and life enhancement have become the new dogma, and the WindSpa is the destination of choice. With a staff of 10 massage therapists, technicians and instructors, the WindSpa’s treatments and therapies range from traditional massage and aromatherapy to comprehensive hydro and synergistic therapy, as well as yoga, fitness and wellness programs.
