Windstar has always been known for our iconic sailing ships, and now we are embarking on a multi-year refresh of the Wind Class ships through 2026. The initiative brings the tight-knit connection of the Windstar community to the forefront through the redesign of public spaces and staterooms. Wind Star starts her refresh first, completing her first phase of public area updates in late 2023 before completing stateroom and dining enhancements in 2026. Her sister ship, Wind Spirit, undergoes her upgrade in 2025, and our flagship, Wind Surf, will complete her redesign in 2024 and 2026.

Discover a new place to connect as we welcome you with our revamped lobby, now adorned with additional seating for your comfort. Indulge in the epitome of relaxation at our brand-new pool and whirlpool, complemented by an expanded pool bar as you gather to share drinks and stories. Lively conversations and laughter abound in our redesigned lounge, featuring living-room style seating, cutting-edge sound systems, and new lighting that sets the stage for dancing and shows at night.

Elevate your well-being in our updated gym and spa interiors, designed to inspire serenity and rejuvenation. Retreat to your personal sanctuary with larger TVs in staterooms, offering a heightened level of entertainment. Stay effortlessly connected with friends and family through faster internet, ensuring seamless communication throughout your Windstar journey.

Windstar invites you to join us as we start the next chapter of our beloved Wind Class.

FOSTERING CONNECTION

This Wind Class refresh is all about providing guests with updated spaces that inspire relaxation, foster connection, and offer multifunctional needs of an intimate sized sailing yacht. Spending time on our yachts is all about moments of connection, whether that be guest to guest or guest to crew and we want to make sure our spaces reflect that desire. – Stijn Creupelandt, VP of Operations

JOIN US IN THE LOBBY

When guests step onboard, we want to welcome them into our home and our family. The Lobby is your first impression and sets the tone for the intimate and boutique style cruise that awaits you. We’ve expanded the space for gatherings and added plush seating to the reception area so guests will have a comfortable space for their friends and family to join them.

CONNECT IN THE LOUNGE

Our lounge is a multifunctional space that has been carefully redesigned for both daytime relaxation and evening entertainment. The seating arrangements have been transformed to create a living room-like ambiance, treating guests to captivating views of the sea while they share stories and adventures with fellow travelers and our crew. Fully engage with enrichment programming and dance into the night with new speakers and enhanced lighting.

WELLNESS AT THE FOREFRONT

The World Spa by Windstar and gym have been thoughtfully updated with wellness and respite in mind. Both areas will have all new finishes, color palettes, and new state-of-the-art equipment. The spa floor plans were reworked to ensure moments of privacy and tranquility, surrounded by relaxing color palettes and patterns. Energizing colors and uplifting patterns in the gym encourage guests to prioritize their fitness routines.

EYECATCHING ART

Through our partnership with Fountainhead Art, Windstar has curated a collection of unique, Miami-sourced artworks. The pieces span a variety of artistic mediums and were specially commissioned for our ships. Their overall theme revolves around the convergence of nature, organic materials, and the essence of yachting. We hope they serve as a catalyst for meaningful conversations and connections among our guests and crew.

REDESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE

Technology updates that will further enhance the guest experience. Guests can expect a larger TV with curated content and movies. The addition of access points and Starlink significantly improves internet speeds and provides seamless access to stay connected with friends and family at home. New equipment will also enable us to continue our sustainable initiatives and eliminate single use plastics onboard.

MORE TO COME!

"The design inspiration really developed from the yachts themselves. I studied classic and modern yacht architecture to develop the sophisticated design foundation, then went on to add pops of fun and peeks of relief. The pops of fun and relief were inspired by our sails, the sea, the cities we visit, and our guests. The goal of design is always to optimize functionality, which is when the spaces really started to be built around the purpose. Stepping into the lobby as you embark is about feeling a sense of stepping onto your own private yacht but experiencing the service of a luxury boutique hotel.”
– Jessica Payne, Interior Design Manager
