Star Breeze

Star Breeze

You’re invited to discover exotic new lands and cultures with a Star Breeze cruise aboard one of Windstar Cruises’ yacht-like small ships. This intimate vessel holds only 312 guests and embodies a luxurious lifestyle while sailing to authentic destinations in Tahiti, including its most famous Bora Bora island. The yacht's small size makes it easy for you to visit smaller ports of call that are unreachable by traditional ocean liners. It also fosters outstanding service, as the staff and crew quickly get to know you and your fellow travelers. Star Breeze provides you with a unique onboard yachting lifestyle, as well as excellent excursion options, all-suite accommodations, and spectacular cuisine. If your dream vacation is to enjoy a casual yet upscale cruising experience, she is just the ship you need.

Star Plus Class Transformation

Star Breeze underwent Windstar’s $250 Million Star Plus Initiative, in which the ship was stretched (84 feet were added) and underwent a re-engine in 2020. As part of the Star Plus Initiative, Star Breeze received 50 additional and brand-new suites (including two new Owner’s Suites) and new bathrooms/sliding glass balcony doors for existing suites. Additionally, the pool was enlarged, the spa was redesigned, and new restaurants and a casual BBQ venue were added, along with new retail shops and a larger fitness center. The ship also received a more fuel-efficient engine system. Since Star Breeze was enlarged, Windstar hired additional staff to maintain the cruise line’s fabulous 1.5:1 guest-to-staff ratio.

Onboard Entertainment

Star Breeze encompasses a rewarding onboard atmosphere with a sense of laid-back vacationing. While you won’t find all the bells and whistles of larger cruise ships, what you discover is an original lifestyle:

• Star Breeze is a perfect vessel for laying out in the sun, enjoying a good read, or making new friends through engaging conversation;
• Card games, line dancing, seminars, galley tours, and nightly live music are some of the things you can encounter onboard;
• Two unique features of Star Breeze are the sail away tradition of raising the ship’s flags to the “1492” theme song and being able to visit the bridge and chat with the captain at almost any time;
• In the evening, you can enjoy port talks in the lounge with cocktails and small appetizers, as well as dancing and stargazing;
• There is also a library where you can rent books, board games, and DVDs to enjoy back in your suite;
• The ship’s 3 bars (Compass Rose, Star Bra, and The Yacht Club) are wonderful places to relax and socialize with like-minded travelers.

Restaurants & Dining

The cuisine served onboard Star Breeze is certain to keep you coming back for more. Featuring a smart-casual, relaxed ambiance, every dining venue has something special to offer:
