What to expect from Wind Surf

Overview

Windstar's Flagship Sailing Ship

On any day, our 342-guest flagship, Wind Surf, draws admiring glances as she glides majestically into port with her tall sails billowing. And her beauty is far more than skin deep. During their cruise, you will find the perfect setting for ‘making an entrance’ in the beautiful reception area – and, appropriately, that’s only the beginning.

When you return to your stateroom, the luxury gets personal. Windstar’s signature bowl of fresh fruit will still be waiting for you, along with rich tufted headboards, soft seascape colors, beautiful new upholstery, and fine count Egyptian cotton linens welcome you to an oasis of relaxing indulgence.

Wind Surf underwent a significant renovation of public spaces and suites, including an expanded lounge with new lights and sound for upcoming stage performances. Relax into the destinations you’re visiting at the new World Spa by Windstar, which will offer regional spa treatments, including massage styles like Swedish, Japanese Shiatsu and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. An Officer’s Suite, which might be the only one of its kind, provides you with the chance to stay in the heart of the officer quarters tucked right behind the Bridge.

Everything about Wind Surf speaks of welcome. Come aboard and see it for yourself.

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. The initiative, Setting Sails: A Wind Class Refresh, brings the tight-knit connection of the Windstar community to the forefront through the redesign of public spaces and staterooms. From a revamped lobby to a new pool and larger pool bar, new World Spa by Windstar to a redesigned lounge, this initiative also includes intricate details like new teak decks and décor for a timeless and welcoming experience. Wind Surf will complete her redesign in 2026.

Spacious Suites

Joining Windstar’s all-suite, Star Plus yachts in this unique offering, Wind Surf will offer themed Broadmoor and Sea Island Suites, which are inspired by luxury, Five Star sister resorts The Broadmoor in Colorado and Sea Island in Georgia. 

With 376 square feet, you'll find the perfect space for time together - and plenty of room for time to yourself. You'll even enjoy two full separate bathrooms. All the amenities of the staterooms await you, plus a beautiful sitting area, and two flat-screen television sets.

Broadmoor Suite -   Inspired by the design of The Broadmoor, this suite offers a traditional space with classic furniture, floral motifs, white trim with gold finishes, and wide crown moulding. New furnishings and wall sconces have been specially commissioned in the resort's style. The striking wallpaper used in the suite's walk-in closet is an exact replica of the wallpaper used throughout The Broadmoor. The resort's signature carpeting, with shades of light blue, brown, yellow, and gold, was also recreated for the space. Historical black and white images of The Broadmoor will be on display.

Sea Island Suite - This suite will offer a coastal airy space with curved arches, lovely "hardwood" floors, gorgeous inset carpeting, light walls, and white trim with black finishes. New antique-style furnishings and custom wallpapers have been specially commissioned in the resort's style. You'll never see a TV at Sea Island (they are all tucked away in cabinets), so you won't see one in this suite, either. Historical black and white images of Sea Island will be on display.

Gratuities

Windstar automatically charges gratuities of $12 per person, per day to your onboard account. If you feel this amount needs to be adjusted, whether increased or decreased, arrangements can be made onboard the ship, generally at the end of your cruise. In addition, a gratuity of 15% is added to all bar tabs.

Entertainment

A day on board your Windstar ship is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a relaxing massage in World Spa by Windstar. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the Fitness Center. Even better, why not both? After a sumptuous lunch in Veranda, make a splash from the Watersports Platform off the ship’s stern. Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there — swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. And it’s all complimentary, of course. Sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email or order a cheese plate for your stateroom or suite. After dinner, dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you’re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you.

As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like — on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully.

Compass Rose Bar

The ship’s Compass Rose features comfortable, modern décor with pops of blue and orange, a chic bar, and a new multi-purpose stage area ideal for live music and local performances. 

Pool Deck & Bar

This space will now maximise Wind Surf’s ocean views and create a more convivial vibe for poolside lounging and top-shelf mixology. Tropical scenes and greenery at the bar pull in a natural, outdoor atmosphere. Soothing natural colours convey a beach scene and new arty tiling on the two whirlpools take the form of ocean waves. Look for a variety of new outdoor furniture as well. 

Star Boutique

A larger retail area with upscale details, reminiscent of a luxury brand store’s shopping experience. 

Reception

A new, more welcoming location that’s better able to serve guests with additional seating options, plus an updated and fresh (yet still nautical) vibe akin to a boutique hotel.

Enrichment

At Windstar, we don’t just take you to fascinating destinations, we take you into them, giving you unique access to knowledge and activities that enhance your understanding of the places you visit. Complimentary Destination Discovery Events treat you to iconic experiences that capture the essence of your locale. Guest Lecturers intrigue you with regional topics, adding new dimensions to your voyage. And small group excursions take you to meet locals who are delighted to share their homes, cuisines, and cultures with you.

Shore Excursions

The Best On Land Brought To You By The Best At Sea

Choose from over 2,000 one-of-a-kind tours and activities

Get to the heart of local cultures with Windstar shore excursions.

You don’t want to just dip a toe in local culture, you want to dive into the deep end, and that’s exactly what Windstar shore excursions are designed to do. All of our excursions are created to provide authentic local experience – the kind travellers like you are looking for. And with more than 2,000 excursions to choose from, you can experience your destination in whatever way is most meaningful to you. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a foodie, a history buff or someone who loves to get to know the faces behind the many places we travel.

We make sure the hot springs are hot and the pinot grigio is chilled.

How do we find these authentic experiences, you ask? Our Product Development Team travels to each destination and personally vet each shore excursion to makes sure it makes the grade. (So yes, the Open Course Canopy Challenge in Falmouth Harbour, Antigua? They went on that.) And because we travel in small groups, we can adjust tours in real time based on guest feedback, whether that means finding a different place for lunch, or spending more time at a particularly fascinating historical site. We take the time and make the trip because we want your travels to be unforgettable.

Immersion in regional culture

Local guides share insight into their everyday world, as well as insider highlights that you don’t want to miss. As part of a smaller group, you’re able to bypass long lines, visit places off the beaten path, and get all of your questions personally answered.

Private tours available

Explore at your leisure with a private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide. These exclusive tours allow you to customise your time ashore and explore the sites most interesting to you in the comfort and privacy of your own car or van. With your private vehicle, and the personalised attention of your driver and guide, you will have the flexibility and independence to design your own unique tour. This is a great option for families and groups traveling together.

Quality and convenience

Every Windstar excursion meets our high standards of enjoyment, safety, and professionalism. Tour departure times coincide with your ship’s schedule and depart right from the pier. All of our tour operators are fully insured, licensed, and bonded. Our guests consistently rate their shore excursion experiences as excellent.

Watersports Platform

Jump In For Fun

A cruise to Tahiti, the Mediterranean or the Caribbean isn’t just about the land. It’s about the sea. That warm, turquoise water is more than willing to answer your question about what to do today, and the phenomenal Watersports Platform on the stern of your Windstar yacht is more than willing to provide the means — no beach required. It’s just one more way our yachts get you closer to your destination.

COMPLIMENTARY WATERSPORTS EQUIPMENT AND ACTIVITIES INCLUDE*:

  • Snorkelling gear (a personal custom-fit set for your use throughout your Tahiti cruise and in select Caribbean and Central America destinations)
  • Stand-up paddleboards
  • Kayaks
  • Foam flotation magic carpet
  • Water trampoline
  • Sailboat

Guest Lectures

On select Windstar voyages, satisfy your curiosity and enhance your understanding of the local culture by listening to our onboard lecturers. We’ve curated a group of speakers designed to bring you an insider’s perspective on a multitude of intriguing topics. Listen raptly as your voyage becomes more than just a vacation – and a thought-provoking exploration of enchanting lands.

Windstar Signature Expeditions

We're Taking Travellers to a Different Alaska

Introducing the Windstar Signature Expeditions program. Helmed by a team of on board expedition experts who sail with the cruise the entire time, they'll provide more insight, understanding, and commentary to show you an Alaska you've never seen before. Consisting of naturalists, glaciologists, historians and more, this team of experts will also lead guided tours, sometimes directly from the ship to some of the most remote areas of the Alaskan frontier.

Each once-in-a-lifetime experience will leave you hungry for more of the real flavors of Alaska. Book your Alaska cruise and Signature Expeditions today.

Culinary Demonstrations

Delight your palette with onboard cooking demonstrations featuring James Beard Foundation chef recipes. From wild striped bass with tomato sage “fondue” to lobster risotto, our Windstar chefs will take your taste buds on a journey through local cuisine. For a special tantalising treat, join Windstar on one of our voyages in the James Beard Foundation Culinary Cruise Collection, where a James Beard Foundation chef will show you how to elevate your own culinary skills. It’s a taste of enrichment you’ll never forget.

Amphora Restaurant

Amphora’s new design concept draws from elements of the sea, such as pearls, smooth stones, and sea glass, which guests will see integrated into the new architecture and furniture details. The complementing colour tones were inspired by the horizon at sunset. New seating arrangements include curved booths to seat 2-8 people, new larger dining chairs for comfort. 

Stella Bistro

Treat your palate to the French-inspired café cuisine of Stella Bistro, Wind Surf's alternative restaurant. You'll find delightfully indulgent desserts and a wonderful array of wines specifically paired to the meal. (Wind Surf only) 

Veranda Restaurant
