Windstar operates two distinct types of vessels, each with its own character. The Wind Class sailing yachts – Wind Surf, Wind Star, and Wind Spirit – feature majestic masts and sails that capture the romance of traditional sailing. Wind Star and Wind Spirit carry just 148 guests, while the flagship Wind Surf accommodates 342. The Star Plus Class motor yachts – Star Pride, Star Legend, and Star Breeze – are sleek, all-suite vessels carrying 312 guests, with every stateroom featuring ocean views. Whether you’re drawn to the billowing sails and timeless elegance of the Wind Class or the refined, modern comfort of the Star Plus Class, both deliver the intimate, yacht-style experience that defines Windstar.

Windstar Cruises has elevated onboard dining into a true culinary journey, partnering with the James Beard Foundation to craft exceptional experiences that celebrate every region you visit. Fresh, seasonal ingredients are sourced from ports along the way, and each evening’s menu is thoughtfully designed to showcase the distinctive flavors of the local cuisine. The Star Plus Class ships feature four dining venues including Cuadro 44 by Anthony Sasso, celebrating Spanish cuisine. All ships offer open seating, so you dine when and with whom you choose. Special experiences include deck barbecues under the stars and destination-inspired menus that deepen your connection to each place you visit. The result is dining that feels like an integral part of the voyage itself – not just something you taste, but something you remember long after you return home.

Windstar sails to destinations ideally suited for small-ship exploration – the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Greek Islands, Northern Europe, Alaska, Tahiti and the South Pacific, Central America, and beyond. Their intimate vessels dock in the heart of charming town centers, pulling right up to waterfront promenades and village harbors that larger ships cannot access. You’ll discover smaller, less-visited destinations where locally authentic cultures and cuisines await around every corner. For travelers who crave genuine connection with the places they visit, Windstar’s curated itineraries and immersive shore experiences transform each port into a personal discovery rather than a crowded tourist stop.
