The Windstar passenger sees the world from a romantic sailing ship with luxurious accommodations, a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and exquisite service and cuisine.

Windstar's four ships are officially motor-sail-yachts (msy), but the designation belies the vessels' unique rigging. 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.

The original 148-passenger Wind Star was joined by sister ships Wind Song in 1987 (no longer with the fleet), and Wind Spirit in 1988. In 1998, the 312-passenger Wind Surf -- which sailed originally as Club Med I -- was acquired by Windstar.

Carrying just 148 to 312 guests, Windstar ships exude a private-yacht-like atmosphere. An attentive service staff, intimate surroundings, eclectic artwork, exceptional signature cuisine featuring both light and vegetarian menu selections, and an extensive wine list are some of the extraordinary elements which have become synonymous with Windstar.
