180 Degrees from Ordinary” describes Windstar’s small luxury sail cruises. Created with a vision to offer a uniquely different alternative to the typical cruise or resort vacation, a voyage aboard Windstar is the essence of unregimented luxury offering a sea-side window on the world, the privilege of sailing on your own private yacht, the unobtrusive graciousness of a friendly staff and the exclusivity of visiting the hidden harbors and secluded coves of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
In the spirit of casual elegance, dining is free of seating assignments and strict dining times. Five-star cuisine is served in The Restaurant on all three ships, alternative restaurant Degrees on Wind Surf as well as in Windstar’s new alfresco dining venues—poolside grill Candles on all three ships and seafood bar Le Marché on Wind Surf. Breakfast and lunch is served in the sunny The Veranda on all three ships.
In keeping with its exacting standards of excellence Windstar recently added new luxury amenities and enhancements on board the ships. The ships feature deluxe ocean-view staterooms and suites equipped with Apple iPod Nanos and Bose SoundDock speakers, flatscreen televisions, wireless Internet, cell phone service, luxury linens and mattresses, L’Occitane amenities, waffle-weave robes and slippers. For the ultimate in relaxation, Windstar has partnered with The OnboardSpa Company for decadent, certified organic O SPA London spa and salon services in WindSpa.
Water sports enthusiasts will appreciate Windstar’s complimentary waterskiing, windsurfing, sailing, ski-tubing and kayaking from each ship’s aft deck.
