The yacht's upgrade began in 2023 and should be completed in 2026. She will receive a revamped lobby with additional seating, a redesigned lounge, a brand-new pool and whirlpool, an expanded pool bar, an updated gym, improved spa interiors, larger TVs in elegant staterooms, faster internet, and more to level up your cruise experience!

Entertainment

Life onboard Wind Star is laid-back and low-key, keeping in line with the traditional atmosphere of yachting. Daytime activities may consist of napkin-folding demonstrations, small culinary presentations, or informal card games. The vessel features an open-bridge policy, allowing you to freely visit the bridge and converse with the captain and crew during your cruise. The beautiful Yacht Club Lounge is the central gathering place onboard, featuring bar service, a coffee counter, a dance floor, and a small ensemble for live music. Cigar lovers can enjoy a fine cigar in the fresh open air on the top deck nightly. Enrichment programming comes in the form of destination talks and performances in the Yacht Lounge. Talks are hosted with small appetizers and drinks, while you can admire the talents of local performers during exclusive shows. There are two bars where you can enjoy a cocktail and socialization. Outdoor entertainment is made possible by a relaxing sun deck with a plunge pool, hot tub, and plenty of lounging space. During warm-weather itineraries, Wind Star opens up her watersports marina when docked, where you can enjoy complimentary use of snorkeling equipment, kayaks, floating loungers, and life vests for swimming. Bicycles are available for rent in select ports if you wish to spend a day of active exploring.
