Windstar Cruises

Windstar Cruises - Think of the romance of sailing as it was portrayed in movies about a bygone era, a sailing yacht quietly cutting through the deep blue water beneath with billowing white sails unfurled above. Now take that image and pair it with the enjoyment of luxurious accommodations, a casual yet elegant atmosphere and exquisite service and cuisine. This is a Windstar Cruises vacation.

Windstar cruises line yachts carry an intimate number of passengers ranging from 148 in the Wind Song and Wind Spirit and 312 in the Wind Surf. These ships are designed to interact intimately with nature, taking you to hidden coves or isolated beaches, or slowly sailing past rainforest edged coastlines. As well as the classic destination ports. Because they have access to so many boutique, unspoiled ports, it is quite possible to combine two or even three itineraries on a Windstar Cruises cruise vacation to create a customized 14 day or 21 day cruise without duplicating ports. Very few cruise lines can make that claim!

World Class Windstar Dining Experience

The cuisine has been created especially for Windstar Cruises by world renowned celebrity chef Joachim Splichal of the Patina Group restaurants. There is one main dining room, but there is also an optional dining venue on the ships. The menu in this alternative restaurant is theme based - 4 nights focusing on a steakhouse presentation and the other three nights split between cuisine focusing on Northern Italy, France, and Indonesia.

You will truly enjoy the special touches they have available for your pleasure ...hammocks in the breeze... frozen sorbet served in an orange cup as you sit in the sun ... or the icy lemon scented towels to cool and refresh you.
