Overview
Windstar’s graceful Wind Star sail ship is a beautiful 4-masted yacht with space for up to 148 guests.
Each of the Wind Star’s luxury staterooms features L’Occitane bath products, a walk-in closet, flat panel TV, stocked min-bar, fresh flowers, granite bathroom and more.
You’ll find two main dining venues aboard the Wind Star: the gourmet AmphorA and casual Veranda restaurant. Or, for an extra special evening, make a reservation at Candles, an outdoor venue for dining under the stars.
To work off each spectacular meal, take advantage of the Wind Star’s onboard amenities – like the fitness center, pool, whirlpool or watersports platform. Then again, it is your vacation, so you could always just retreat to the spa for a relaxing massage or special treatment.

The company culture runs deep. The entire crew was happy, helpful and open to answer any questions or requests. Very relaxed environment, able to eat without a reservation, laundry was done quickly and well, room was always made up. We will definitely book with Windstar again! A few of the employees that went above and beyond
Pros: Personal service, happy employees, plenty of areas to socialize or spend quiet time
Cons: Changed Sailing time cut our time in Sorrento/Pompeii/ short

Crew members appear to be a "family", and all are very attentive to passenger needs. Food was outstanding -- about the best we've had on any cruise (and we've been on 30+ cruises). WindStar makes an effort to be at ports when the larger ships aren't, which means fewer people in port cities and easier touring. Our cruise offered Dinner at Ephesus: fabulous!!! This was our reason for taking the cruise and it lived up to expectations. Our cabin was comfortable, with more storage space than many larger cruise ships. And the pre-cruise hotel was outstanding, with a beautiful view of the Acropolis from the dining room.
Pros: Small ship with only 140 passengers, Itinerary, Cabins, Food, Crew
Cons: Ship needs refurbishment and will get it in 11/23.

It was a wonderful week and met quite a few people we enjoyed spending time with around the pool and hot tubs. The crew went above and beyond and always had a smile. The deck bbq was a fun night with crew and guests dancing, definitely a highlight. It will be hard to go back to the bigger ships after sailing windstar.
Pros: Food was delicious, crew were outstanding, rooms were a nice size for 2 people and it was perfect for relaxing with its laidback vibe
Cons: The wifi was terrible and the shore excursions were not the best
