More About Windstar Cruises

From Windstar Cruises

Windstar Cruises, with its small yacht-like and sailing ships hosting between 148 to 342 guests, is known for visiting tiny ports, waterways, canals, and rivers; providing relaxed and personalized service; as well as connecting guests with local experiences and cultures.

 

As one of his first milestones as Windstar President, Christopher Prelog is thrilled to debut Star Breeze in November, 2020 – the all-suite yacht was cut in half and lengthened with the addition of 50 new suites, two innovative restaurants, a reimagined spa/fitness center, and other improvements. Capacity increases from 212 guests to 312 – still small enough for visiting hidden harbors around the world. While Windstar has ceased operations, renovation work on its three Star Class ships moved forward, with Star Breeze as the first to emerge from the $250 million project that also includes sister ships Star Pride and Star Legend. The two yachts will join the fleet later in 2021, following their completed transformations.  

 

Windstar has maintained that guests shouldn’t be afraid to book the trip of a lifetime by offering a Travel Assurance Booking Policy that gives flexibility to make plans and update them if things change (a guest can now cancel up to 48 hours prior to departure for 2021 sailings). In addition, Windstar announced a new Beyond Ordinary Care program, which is a multi-layered strategy with key hospital-grade elements: HEPA filters and UV-C ultraviolet germicidal irradiation to filter and disinfect the air, plus EvaClean with PurTab to sanitize all surfaces throughout the yacht. The company hopes this extra effort to provide a healthy environment on board is giving consumers (both avid cruisers and new ones) the confidence to book.
