The transformation is not about getting bigger, it’s about offering our guests more of what they love about Windstar. Each yacht now serves 312 guests total which nearly matches the capacity for Wind Surf . The additional capacity keeps us squarely in the under 350 category. We will continue to offer the world’s best private yacht style cruising experience but with more amenities that our guests have been asking us for like additional dining venues and a world-class Spa and Fitness Center. We have made these improvements to ensure these beloved yachts may continue to operate well into the future. This re-imaging has taken the former Star Class yachts to the next level, deserving of the new title of Star Plus Class.
Star plus class transformation.
Watch time lapse footage of the Star Class yachts as they transform into the Star Plus Class. See how we cut the yachts in half, inserted a new section, and all the new suites and amenities that we’ve added, including the new engines. To our President Christopher Prelog, it’s like a new yacht – would you agree?
Milton Ceklic, our Hotel General Manager onboard all-suite Star Breeze , takes us on a tour of the newly transformed yacht. Walk through the 1,374-square-foot Grand Owner’s Suite. Get up close to the new bathrooms and the completely redone Owner’s Suite Forward. He also takes us through his favorite parts of the yacht, including World Spa by Windstar and the new elevated infinity pool.
We've added 84 feet to our ships! Watch this video to find out how we did it.
Sailings began in 2021 and offer new itineraries including the Holy Land, Black Sea, and Tahiti.
Join John Gunner, VP of Expansion Projects, and Captain Neil Broomhall, as they give you a tour of newly transformed all-suite Star Breeze . She now boasts more space with the addition of 50 new suites, two innovative new restaurants, a reimagined spa/fitness center, enlarged pool and deck, new bathrooms in all suites and new efficient engines. She offers more amenities we know our guests want while still being small enough to travel the narrow waterways and visit the small ports Windstar is known for.
After nearly a year at the Fincanterri shipyard in Palermo, Windstar Cruises took delivery of the newly transformed Star Breeze on November 17, 2020! This is a such a momentous occasion after all of the hard work, on one of the most complex ship projects ever completed. After inserting a new 84 foot block and adding 4 new environmentally friendly, and efficient engines, new bathrooms to every suite, two new restaurants, the new World Spa by Windstar, a new pool, and so much more – the only thing we didn’t touch was the name on the of the ship! We cannot wait to have you see her for yourself once we resume sailing.
Due to the pandemic, the shipyard in Italy closed for several weeks and is now on a reduced workforce schedule to provide a safe working environment for their employees. As a result, completion of the Star Plus Class yachts was delayed. Star Breeze began sailing on June 19, 2021, Star Legend started sailing on September 4, 2021, and Star Pride will begin sailing on April 29, 2022.
We’ve hit our first big milestone in our $250 Million Star Plus Initiative with the cutting of Star Breeze and the insertion of the new 84 foot block.
On April 2, 2019 at Fincantieri’s shipyard “Arsenale Triestino San Marco”, in Trieste, Italy, John Gunner, Vice President of Expansion Projects, pushed the button which activated the torch to make the initial cut in the new steel that will become the first of three new ships. The new sections will be built in Trieste and then will be transported south by barge to the Fincantieri yard in Palermo, Sicily, Italy to be inserted into the iconic Windstar ships.
It adds up., new engines per ship.
Oh hey, better fuel efficiency.
Each with the bed beside the window in a more open layout
Styles and flavors forthcoming.
The investment that $250 Million represents.
The added length of each ship after installing an all-new section.
The new Grand Owner's Suite Midship combines with the adjoining suite for a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom suite.
Across all suites in the ship.
They’ll hold more guests for shorter wait times and depart from a new more convenient and easily accessible tender platform.
Want to snuggle up to the sea with a bed beside the window? Or combine our new Owner's Suite to create a three-bedroom, two-balcony floor plan? With 50 new suites in the brand-new Star Suite Category, picking your private retreat is part of the adventure.
Nothing beats the fresh start of a new day in a new city, and so we've taken a fresh approach to getting ready with redesigned bathrooms in ALL suites on the ship. New showers, new sinks, new mirrors, and new tile. It's sure to start your morning off with a smile.
At 156 suites—312 guests or less—will our suites stay spacious, our decks uncrowded, and your days unregimented? You bet your walk-in closet.
Build a few water slides? Or offer regionally inspired spa treatments with glacial mud body wraps and basalt stone massages? The choice was easy. This is a new level of exploring while relaxing in the World Spa by Windstar.
Can you still explore the smaller ports that bigger ships can’t reach? You bet the steeples of Sanary-sur-Mer and the sand on Isla Parida.
We’re redefining what it means to travel well by expanding and fully redesigning our World Spa by Windstar and Fitness Center, so you’ll have all the inspiration you need to treat yourself right.
Want to find a private spot just for yourself? Try the whirlpool on the bow of the yacht that's hidden on deck 5.
We're upping our game (literally) with a gorgeous pool and whirlpool as a focal point, accessible from both upper decks. The expanded sundeck also gives you more room to sunbathe and relax.
Our new pool lights up at night, like a fountain you can splash in. You know you've always wanted to do it - here's your chance to try.
With two brand new restaurants, you will be able to taste a variety of cuisines from around the globe. Whether you are looking for afternoon tapas or barbecue grilled by a master, the option to relax and enjoy delicious meals is always a guarantee.
The most inventive, modern grill at sea. You can tell a lot about a culture by the way it grills. You’ll find all your traditional grilled and barbecued favorites (and discover new dishes from around the globe) at Star Grill by Steven Raichlen — our upcoming casual outdoor restaurant brought to you in partnership with the man who reinvented barbecue.
For Raichlen, a multi-award-winning writer, lecturer and international TV host, barbecue isn’t a pastime, it’s a calling. The founder of Barbecue University and Barbecue Hall of Famer hosts the popular Project Fire and Project Smoke shows on Public Television. His 31 books — many of them New York Times bestsellers — have won five James Beard Awards and three IACP / Julia Child Awards and have been translated into 17 languages.
Soon you can taste for yourself where Raichlen’s curiosity for world barbecue takes him. Just steps away from the popular Star Bar, the Star Grill by Steven Raichlen offers alfresco dining with seating for 95 on the top deck to take in the ocean breeze and views. Experience traditional and world barbecue with a modern twist, from maple sriracha chicken wings to Danish smoked shrimp, from Hill Country brisket to lemongrass pork — or on sea days, enjoy a mid-morning Frühschoppen with artisanal grilled sausage and pretzel rolls. Served with a sea view!
Only four ingredients, easy to eat drumsticks with a sweet fiery maple-sriracha glaze are simple, yet astonishingly tasty. This often overlooked cut delivers a rich meaty flavor with a touch of Scotch whisky to add to the additional smoke flavor.
Excerpted from Project Fire by Steven Raichlen, photographs by Matthew Benson. Workman Publishing (c) 2018.
If there’s one dish that epitomizes barbecue, that every aspiring smoke master hopes to perfect, it’s brisket. After 8 to 10 hours of smoking in the traditional fuel of Oak, apple, mesquite, and hickory for brisket, you will surely be in for a treat and will be well worth the wait.
Excerpted from Project Smoke by Steven Raichlen, photographs by Matthew Benson. Workman Publishing (c) 2016.
Nothing more in the way of seasoning is needed than smoke from local beach wood for sweet Baltic Sea shrimp. Not even salt or pepper. The fireworks come from the pristine shrimp – and from a pair of piquant Danish sauces.
Steven Raichlen hosts the popular TV shows Steven Raichlen’s Project Fire and Project Smoke, Primal Grill, and Barbecue University on Public Television. He stars in three French language TV shows and an Italian show, Steven Raichlen Grills Italy, which airs on Gambero Rosso. The author of 31 books, many of them award-winners, Raichlen wrote the international blockbusters: The Barbecue Bible, How to Grill, Planet Barbecue, and Project Smoke. He founded Barbecue University and has lectured on the history of barbecue at Harvard, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Library of Congress.
Small plates and exquisite Iberian flavors welcome you on board.
Anthony Sasso on CBS This Morning
"I've spent a lifetime studying Spanish food and culture, working in several Catalan kitchens, traveling the Iberian landscape, and learning from the masters: Adria, Roca, Ruscelada, Santimaria, Dali, Picasso, Miro! It's led to some of the most acclaimed and recognized Spanish food in America. This new venture with Windstar will be the perfect vehicle to transport all of those flavors back to the sea where they were born and I'm extrememly excited in going along for the ride, back to where it all started."
Anthony spent time in Spain’s Costa Brava at renowned restaurant El Celler de Can Rocca before becoming head chef at Casa Mono where he earned the restaurant a Michelin star 10 individual times. A James Beard Foundation-recognized chef, he hosted Windstar’s James Beard Foundation: Spanish Symphony culinary cruise in summer 2018
Introducting our new eclectic Spanish restaurant, Cuadro 44 , in partnership with Chef Anthony Sasso. Sasso, a 13-year veteran of the Michelin-starred restaurant Casa Mono , offers an inventive take on modern Spanish cuisine inspired by his travels all over Spain.
An alum of Windstar's culinary-themed cruise program, Sasso's cuisine has already proven poular with guests, and with Cuadro 44 he creates not only the tastes of one of our favorite cruising regions, but aspects of the local culture as well. With a centerpiece of a communal table for 10, the restaurant encourages sharing of both regional dishes and of stories from your adventures ashore.
Along with your personal main entree, choose from a delicious selection of appetizers, sides, and desserts designed to be passed around and shared including Jamon Iberico, 24 month aged port leg raised solely on acorns in Southern Spain, and a favorite of Madrid, Churros y Chocolate, cinnamon and sugar fritters served with spicy hot chocolate and fresh seasonal fruit. It's a fresh new way of experiencing Spanish culture and enjoying the company of fellow guests.
Sasso has been praised for his interpretations of distinctly classic Spanish staples served with modern imagination and a well-reserched sense of humor. Paella served in a "croqueta" form is a bite-size wonder of the national dish, with the "socarrat" represented in the coating of the saffron rice ball. His egg and potato tortilla is garnished with a sprinkling of herb gremolata made from olive oil potato chips and Sasso's cod "pil pil," one of the most difficult preparations of the Basque canon, is cut with nora chilies and seasoned with same salt water from which the cod hails.
"The design for Cuadro 44 by Anthony Sasso draws from the various regions of Spain, recalling the warm feeling of a rustic home. The residential scale combined with soft, indirect lighting creates an intimate atmosphere where guests feel surrounded by the sights, smells, and tastes of Spain. A cozy chef's counter lets diners experience the cooking up close, viewing into an open kitchen. Handcrafted details and colorful, intricate patterns provide a richness reminiscent of Andalusia, and playful accents on the walls and in the furniture capture the whimsy of Barcelona."
Ray Chung, Director of Design, The Johnson Studio at Cooper Carry
Richer selection of dining venues shipwide.
As always, enjoy open seating at all of our dining venues, but with more ocean-view seats, comfy outdoor furniture, and dining room upgrades, we think you’ll like your options even more.
We've taken beloved favorites and made them even better. Amphora has been relocated to allow for more light to filter into the dining room at sunset and views of the sea. Veranda now offers an expanded buffet and additional seating. It's just a taste of what's to come.
We’re maintaining our guest to crew ratio of 1.5:1, so we’ll still be there with what you need before you know you need it. Our crew can’t wait to welcome you aboard the newly transformed all-suite Star Plus Class yachts.
Ready, set, sail.
