Sailing under the banner of its appropriate tag line
"180º From Ordinary," Windstar was created with the vision to offer an
alternative to the typical cruise or resort vacation. 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 ships are officially
motor-sail-yachts, 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 unusual "open-bridge" operation allows guests to drop
by and acquaint themselves with the veteran captains and officers who
demonstrate the ships' intriguing capabilities to modern day explorers.
