Windstar Cruises Renovates Three Yachts

Special Guest Reporter

Windstar Yacht Deck

In the past year, Windstar Cruises has been busy upgrading their three signature sailing yachts, Wind Star, Wind Surf, and Wind Spirit.  The cruise line recently announced they have completed a stunning renovation with new color palettes, new textures, new surfaces and styles to every inch of the three yachts.  The Windstar fleet consists of the 148-guest sister ships Wind Star and Wind Spirit, and 312-guest flagship, Wind Surf.

New Features on Windstar Cruises:

  • AmphorA – A new fine dining restaurant on each of the three ships, AmphorA, features inviting circular booths and plush seating, along with a delightful new menu featuring savory dishes such as Dover sole, duck a l’orange and lobster ravioli.
  • Redesigned Pool Bars – The new pool bars boast stylish wicker seating and beautiful woods, which transform by evening into Candles, where on-deck dining by candlelight highlights every voyage.
  • Veranda – Sunlight fills this new airy space where guests gather for breakfast and lunch with an inviting buffet and plentiful outdoor seating.
  • Lounge Bar on the Main Deck – This popular gathering place has been redesigned on each ship in contemporary styles in warm neutrals and rich woods.
