Company Profile
Sailing under the banner of its appropriate tag line “180 Degrees From Ordinary,” Windstar was created with the vision to offer an alternative to the typical cruise or resort vacation. Well known for cruising off the beaten path, the upscale line offers “Romance Under Sail,” visiting exotic locales and hidden harbors that larger ships cannot access.

Windstar’s distinctive four- and five-masted ships -- the Wind Star, Wind Spirit and Wind Surf -- will again be sailing some of the world’s most beautiful waters, with strong presences in Tahiti and the Society Islands, the Caribbean and Europe, including the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas. In addition, the Wind Spirit and Wind Surf will operate three trans-Atlantic voyages of 14 days each for guests who wish to experience the unique thrill of crossing an ocean in a spectacular sailing ship.

Windstar’s unique concept of sailing has led the cruise industry in the luxury small ship, casual attire, and alternative dining arenas. Pioneering and refining these concepts has earned Windstar an excellent reputation and market niche, winning the allegiance of a whole new generation of contemporary cruise vacationers, one-third of whom are first-time cruisers.

The company’s cruise vacations offer a seaside window on the world, combining the relaxed refinement of a luxury hotel with a moveable feast of cultural experiences. Seattle-based Windstar Cruises operates the 308-passenger Wind Surf and 148-passenger Wind Star and Wind Spirit. The three sailing yachts cruise to nearly 50 nations, calling at more than 100 ports throughout Europe, the Caribbean and Tahiti.
