Ships
Star Breeze, Star Legend and Star Pride, our all-suite Star Plus class yachts, are fresh from a $250 Million renovation. Enjoy spacious suites with all-new bathrooms, two new dining venues, gorgeous pool, plenty of open deck space, upgraded spa. Complimentary waster sports platform and open bridge.
With only 312 guests, aboard Star Legend, Star Breeze and Star Pride you feel as if you're a guest aboard a private yacht. With a delightfully unpretentious and casual atmosphere, the yachts are large enough to pamper, yet small enough to tuck into tiny harbors and hidden coves others can’t reach.
Inspire your appetite aboard the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation. Star Pride, Star Breeze and Star Legend feature two new dining venues: Cuadro 44 by Anthony Sasso and Star Grill by Stephen Raichlen, cooking demos, tasting, culinary shore excursions and Market Tours with the Chef.

Sustainability
Our Commitment
CRUISING INTO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
As a small-ship cruise line with wind-powered ships, Windstar is already ahead of the curve on sustainability. With no more than 342 guests, our yachts have less impact on the environment and the communities we visit. Still, we continually assess and improve our environmental practices to make the planet cleaner and greener. Some initiatives are large, like replacing engines with more efficient ones. And some may seem small, like polishing our propellers twice a year for peak efficiency. But when it comes to protecting the world’s natural surroundings, even small changes add up.
We're working hard every day to reduce our use of fossil fuels, keep trash our of landfills and leave the ocean better than we found it. Being gentle on the environment can also mean changing what you eat, since a plant-based diet saves water and reduces greenhouse gas. For those who favor vegan meals, we now offer a plant-based, gluten-free menu prepared without added salt, oil or sugar. We have partnered with the National Health Association (NHA) to create offerings that are both nutritious and delicious and are excited to add these to our standard and vegetarian menu choices.
WE MAY NOT BE BIG, BUT WE CAN STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
In the overall scheme of things our efforts to protect the planet may not make waves, but we believe every ripple counts.
