Wind Surf Debuts Stylish, New Look

We completed the first phase of Wind Surf’s refurbishment encompassing the yacht’s staterooms, suites, bridge suites and corridors. Guests on the December 10, Yachtsman’s Caribbean voyage set sail from St. Maarten with the new, luxurious and stylish accommodations and corridors. Now it’s your turn to see the updates which are part of Windstar’s $18 million fleet refurbishment!

Wind Surf Suite

“The new look enables us to provide a unique, boutique yacht vacation that is 180 Degrees from Ordinary,” said Hans Birkholz, President and CEO of Windstar Cruises.

Wind Surf Stateroom

Wind Surf’s staterooms now feature leather headboards, stately arm chairs, linen wall coverings, new lighting features, elegant window coverings, plush wool carpeting, art work and stylish bed cushions. Suites are additionally outfitted with new furniture that converts easily to lounging, dining, or accommodating a third occupant. Corridors were completely renovated from floor to ceiling with new wall coverings, carpeting, ceiling finishes, lighting and art work.

Wind Surf Bridge Suite

The second phase of refurbishment will take place in the fall of 2012 and focuses on public spaces including the Lounge, The Restaurant, Degrees, Veranda, Compass Rose, WindSpa, Yacht Club and Pool Bar. Wind Star and Wind Spirit will undergo complete refurbishments of staterooms, owner’s suite, and corridors along with public spaces including The Restaurant, Veranda, Lounge, WindSpa, Library, Reception, and Pool Bar following their respective Costa Rica and Caribbean seasons. After the completion of work, both yachts begin their Mediterranean seasons with Wind Spirit starting April 15, 2012, and Wind Star beginning April 29, 2012.

It’s about time this fleet renovated! While I liked the sail ship cruise, I thought the ship itself was rusty, dirty, and in dire need of this renovation. Once the entire ship is done, I’ll be booking a cruise to check it out.

I never thought I would want to take a cruise. This was Heather and my first ever cruise and I have to admit I dont think I would take a cruise on any other ship. Everything was perfect for us and it was like the honeymoon we never had after 34 years. We are alredy planning our next cruise on WindSurf in 2012. The crew were all amazing as were everyone we met. We have some new friends to keep in touch with as we sail into 2012. Thanks so much Captain John and all the crew. Happy Hollidays and… Read more »

I am planning a cruise on the Windsurf in July.  Can someone answer two questions for me:  is seasickness a problem I have to worry about with the sails?  Or does this ship feel like the large cruise ships?  Secondly, is it worth upgrading to a category A cabin since they are identical to Cat B, just a deck or two higher?
Thank you!!

We can’t wait to welcome you aboard! We think you will be very pleased with the new decor, but you’ll have to tell us yourself once you’ve returned 🙂 Our guests tell us frequently that they find our yachts to be very smooth on the water even in comparison to much larger ships. Our stabilizers are quite effective. However, we still recommend you take every precaution in advance, including preventative medicines for motion sickness. In regards to Category A cabins versus Category B, yes – they are identical in size. However, Category A cabins are on Deck 2, which will… Read more »

It sounds like the majority of your passengers are couples.  Would it be awkward for me to take this cruise with my mom?

Not at all! We have a wide variety of passengers, including family and friends. We think you will have a wonderful time with your mother 🙂

Just got back from the Windsurf.  We had not been on her since 1998 and now looks better then ever.  We are already planning our next Windstar cruise.

 Lovely designs! You could feel more relax if your would be having a room like this during your trip on the cruise. All the things are being provided to you and there is a place for you to have your own privacy.

whats the difference between Cat A and Cat A Deluxe on the WindSurf?

Reply to  Pattibeach
11 years ago

Hi Patti, the difference is the positioning on the ship. Cat A staterooms are located on deck two and Cat A Deluxe are located on deck three with the suites. There are the same layout but there are only nine of the Cat A Deluxe staterooms and they are closer to the amenities.
