Windstar's sleek masted sailing ships with computer-directed sails offer the perfect balance of sophisticated pampering, exceptional service, and luxurious amenities amidst a casual atmosphere. Windstar Cruises currently has three ships: Wind Spirit, Wind Star, and Wind Surf carry between 148 and 308 passengers. Passenger-to-crew ratios are very high: 1.5 to 1, and a superb level of personalized service is the result.
Life Onboard
"Casual elegance" is the designated dress code. Guests leave their ties and formal wear at home in favor of country-club casual sportswear. Organized activities are few, and typical cruise line Vegas-style entertainment is non-existent. Passengers linger over dinner, sampling delicious entrées developed by renowned chef Joachim Splichal. Sail Light and vegetarian meals were designed by health guru Jeanne Jones, developer of spa menus for Canyon Ranch Spa and the Pritikin Longevity Center. All ships have spacious, modern cabins and suites.
Fellow Passengers
Passengers tend to be somewhat younger and more highly educated than on most cruises because of the unusual ports and variety of hard and soft adventure.
