Windstar Cruises
Luxury Cruises in Private Yacht Style
“Welcome to the casually elegant small ship world of Windstar Cruises. Leave the crowds behind on a luxury cruise ship carrying fewer than 300 privileged guests. No lines. No waiting. Just a warm and intimate ambiance you won’t find on larger cruise ships.
Sail right into the heart of Old World villages, hidden coves, and harbors off the beaten path – places only Windstar’s small cruise ships are welcomed. Every itinerary is expertly crafted and artfully planned, visiting both boutique ports and bucket-list capitals. Share intimate moments away from the crowds. Immerse yourself in local culture and cuisine, and get behind-the-scenes experiences.
And of course, part of the Windstar magic is our incredible personal service. Enjoy undivided attention from a crew who delights in remembering your name and preferences. Both gracious hosts and ambassadors, they delight in surprising you in discrete ways – satisfying your sweet tooth with an extra chocolate on your pillow or sharing the location of a favorite seaside café. Welcome to Windstar Cruises – an experience that is truly 180 degrees from ordinary.
All Inclusive
One call. It’s that simple. With a single call to a Windstar Vacation Planner you or your travel professional can take care of every aspect of your vacation — air travel, ground transportation, shore excursions, pre- or post-cruise experiences and extensions, the right insurance to secure your peace of mind. It’s all as easy as a phone call.
Enjoy unlimited beverages throughout your voyage including cocktails, wine, refreshments from your suite or stateroom minibar, and room service.
Pack light when you add our convenient 24-hour onboard professional laundry service. Simply leave your laundry outside your stateroom or suite before you retire and it will be waiting for you, crisp and clean, when you return from your day’s explorations. It adds the easy to our easy-going style.
Amenities
When you’re ready to make an appearance, the Lounge, Casino and Library are waiting to be explored. Take some “you” time in the tranquil WindSpa . . . enjoy a dip in the pool . . . work off that decadent dessert in the Fitness Center . . . and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge to examine navigation charts with the Captain.
Windstar’s yachts are large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
Your Home Away From Home
There’s no place like home — especially when it feels like your own private yacht. Your private paradise is designed entirely for your comfort. From the plush leather headboard to the fine Egyptian linens and marble bathroom. Enjoy the thoughtfully designed spaces, with more room for storage than you’ve ever imagined finding on a ship, and the luxurious touches just for your pleasure, like L’Occitane en Provence® bath products and concert quality sound from the Bose® SoundDock.
Everything is made to order for your enjoyment. Soft lighting. Beautiful artwork. Soothing, seascape color schemes. Every stateroom, every suite has been redesigned to Windstar’s exacting standards and matchless style. Go ahead and slip into your cozy robe and comfy slippers and surrender to the mesmerizing ocean view.
World Class Culinary Experience
Delectable cuisine, delightful surroundings, inspired wine pairings… Create the most delicious memories while you are on a Windstar yacht. Whether your pleasure is dinner in the exquisite AmphorA fine dining restaurant, lunch alfresco at Veranda, or an indulgent dessert delivered to your room from our 24-hour room service menu, you always get to choose where to dine, no reservation required. The freshest local ingredients, seasonal produce, and amazing ingenuity go into each dish, made to order just for you.
Activities and Entertainment
A day on board your Windstar yacht is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a relaxing massage in WindSpa. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the Fitness Center. Even better, why not both? After a sumptuous lunch in Veranda, make a splash from the Watersports Platform off the yacht’s stern. Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there — swimming, kayaking, sail-boarding, even water skiing. And it’s all complimentary, of course. Sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email or grab a DVD for your stateroom or suite in the Library. After dinner, try your luck in the Casino and dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you’re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you.
As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like — on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully.”
