Windstar Cruises

Amazing trip on a great vessel. Windstar small ship cruising was a perfect fit for us. Service and attention to detail were on par with Ritz Carlton or better. Definitely recommended.

Once again Windstar impressed on all fronts and all aspects.

The Star Breeze was in decent but not great shape. It was evident that the ship was older and had some visible wear and tear on the exterior (rust and corrosion) and in our cabin. I understand that the Star Breeze had undergone a refit recently - however, the wooden furniture in the our stateroom (317) was faded and worn. The pipes underneath the sinks had some rust/corrosion and the toilet tank had pulled away from the wall. The staff was quite friendly and helpful-many quickly learned our names and made the experience more personable. Our cabin steward and the dining staff were efficient and helpful. The bar staff were particularly helpful and entertaining. Having a naturalist on board as we tranisted Panama Canal was good. The food was good. Breakfast provided more than adequate choice and quality. Lunch was good tho I skipped it several times eating in town or a sandwich at the Club. Dinner was very good. The Osso bucco and duck l'orange was excellent. Limited wine selection.

barely met expectations

This was our second voyage with Windstar, and we thought it was even better than the first. The ship is clean and comfortable and the cabins, while not huge, were well-appointed and comfortable. The food was excellent and always perfectly-prepared. The on-board entertainment is somewhat limited, as one would expect on a ship this size, but perfectly adequate. We would recommend Windstar to anyone interested in a small ship experience.

From start to finish this cruise was 5 stars! I can't say enough about how professional and kind all of the staff were on this cruise. They know your name from day 1 and take note of the little things that make your time aboard very special! Each morning our server brought me my cappuccino and my husband his tea and at dinner they were careful to note any food allergies. We celebrated my 50th birthday and our 23rd wedding anniversary while on the ship! We were treated to a very special dinner and personal cake to finish! The food each day was so fresh and delicious and the BBQ on deck was over the top with seafood, grilled pork and beef and sides galore. The gym and spa were very clean and perfect for what we needed. Each day was a new adventure with each city offering us so much to explore!! I would definitely book with Windstar again!

The ship was in impeccable condition.

Wonderful. Sailed on Seaborne in the past and know the ships well.

Ship and crew were fine. Ship is older and I had some headroom issues (6-5). Had a pretty good scab on my knoggin by the end of the week! The biggest disappointment was they only let the swim platform down one afternoon on a 10 day cruise. I wish they would have left a couple of ports early to anchor out and let people swim since the ship really doesn't have a pool.

Loved the casual elegance of this ship, and especially the staff. Beyond professional, the people who take care of you really appear to love their jobs, and it makes all the difference. And the food is wonderful!

We enjoyed a great trip on the star breeze. It is a little worn but the cabins are huge and the crew so nice. We loved the itinerary we had to Croatia and Italy. Myron our cruise director was the best. I would recommend this ship for others that don't care about nightlife the ship is pretty quiet at night but we were so busy each day we were glad to get some rest. Windstar is a great size ship and the crew is so attentive.

Absolute top quality service from the crew. Food very good. Everything is made to order and they will make special orders as long as they have the ingredients.

The ship and the entire cruise experience exceeded our expectations. There was absolutely nothing to criticize! We are sold on small ship cruising.

Great food and service. Nice rooms and options for variety of activities.

Great voyage, great crew & staff, great times!

Comfortable, pleasant, well fed and watered. Educational day trips, with exception of Panamanian tourism infrastructure, well planned and executed. Costa Rica very travel friendly. Panama Canal a true highlight. Ships are 30 year old and infrastructure will require updating. This is our 4’th voyage with Windstar and were pleased that we participated. Travel arrangements and accommodations were seamless and very comfortable.

Great, great, great

Seven days just isn't long enough! Our first Windstar cruise was 10 days, and now we know we need to make the next one a two week trip. We LOVE the Windstar attitude. All the staff is just like family, so friendly and helpful and after a day or two, they know what you like and have it ready. We'll be back!

It was all great! This was my 29th trip aboard Windstar, and I love it. The staff are all wonderful and the service is so special! The Windstar is always exceptional!

The food was great and the crew were excellent.

We have gone on several cruises -- the Star Breeze was one of the best

The cruise was wonderful, the ports and views of Norway were amazing. The price of the tours and the internet were outrageous. The crew kept up with the Windstar standard of excellence. No complaints

Food and service were good and we were happy with our room. Ship is getting tired and needs an upddate

The stateroom was very spacious and comfortable. The staff was wonderful - always going the extra mile and remembered our names, preferences, etc immediately. The food was wonderful. The only "weak spot" was the excursion director. We felt there wasn't much helpful information given if you chose to explore a port on your own. The excursions we took were good as were the tour guides, but expensive and sometimes we prefer to look around on our own. He gave a list of names of things to see but with no photos or descriptions it was meaningless.

Being our second trip on this ship, I think this speaks for its self.
