Windstar Cruises has announced the expansion of its fleet with two new all-suite motor yachts, Star Seeker and Star Explorer.
The new-build Star Seeker, which is currently being constructed, is expected to be delivered in December this year, followed by Star Explorer in December 2026.
Each ship has 112 suites, featuring full private verandas and infinity windows. Additionally, two Owner’s Suites with wrap-around balconies have been added to the aft of the ship, perfect for evening cocktails or a private dinner. The ships have capacity for 224 guests and a staff-to-guest ratio of one-to-two.
Passengers will also enjoy access to several newly added Windstar guest favourites, including the brand’s Watersports Platform, the Yacht Club café and lounge, a two-storey spa and fitness facility, a whirlpool on the bow, and a spacious open deck for sunbathing and barbecues.
The re-imagined main dining room, Amphora, will serve a variety of upscale and inventive dishes. Alfresco dining will also be available at both Amphora and the Star Grill, as well as a no-charge speciality restaurant and 24-hour room service.
Star Seeker and Star Explorer will be equipped with the latest technology to minimise their environmental footprint and uphold the brand’s commitment to sustainability. The ships will be able to connect to shore power to reduce their port emissions and have advanced wastewater treatment systems to meet global sustainability standards.
