Windstar passengers see the world in a unique sailing experience, from a romantic sailing ship with luxurious accommodations, a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and exquisite service and cuisine.

Discover paradise. Whether it's a place with endless beaches lined perfectly with palm trees or a perfect state of mind. An exotic destination sets the stage for romance and discovery; the rest is a mix of food, friendships, and - most of all - the "feeling" of a place.

Fall hopelessly in love all over again as you set sail for the crystalline-blue waters of captivating Tahiti, share an intimate view of Scandinavia's majestic fjords, or put in at tiny Caribbean ports too small for ordinary cruise ships. Perhaps this is the year you'll discover the many treasures of Europe. All cruises offer Romance Under Sail, an unforgettable way to celebrate a wedding, a birthday or even another month together - in carefree Windstar luxury. No matter where your voyage may lead, count on Windstar to grant your every wish. Pull up a chair. You are about to embark on an extraordinary adventure on the world's most romantic cruise line.

Fleet Features
Stylish, spacious, and intimate. Carrying just 148 to 308 guests, Windstar ships exude a private yacht-like atmosphere creating camaraderie and lasting friendships between fellow sailors. Each ship, framed in striking white sails is designed for function and comfort. With sleek lines and computerized controls, Windstar ships are revolutionary in both concept and design.
The Windstar Fleet

Windstar's ships are officially masted-sail-yachts (msy). Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky. All functions are operated from the bridge by computer micro-chips and navigational devices to guarantee a smooth sailing to exotic locales and hidden harbors that larger ships cannot access. A new era in luxury cruising was now being pioneered by Windstar Cruises.
