Yacht renovations for Windstar

Wind Star, one of three yachts in Windstar Cruises’ fleet, has recently completed a complete renovation.

Wind Star is the first yacht to receive redesigned staterooms and owners’ suites and enhanced public areas as part of the $18 million fleet-wide renovation.

Décor was updated, with new furnishings, upholstery, art, lighting, wall coverings, carpeting, ceiling finishes, window treatments, and floor coverings.

The restaurant was transformed into a completely new dining experience as AmphorA Restaurant, with a redesigned seating layout, wine display and storage, and a new menu has been introduced. The Veranda’s outdoor seating was significantly expanded, creating an ideal mid-ship area for guests to enjoy breakfast and lunch alfresco. The interior includes a new buffet, new lighting, and epicurean display counters.  The Compass Rose was also reconfigured to open up expansively to the adjoining outdoor deck.

Other public areas enhanced include:
• The Lounge – new hardwood flooring was installed with inset rugs, new furniture and a new AV system was also put in place.  
• Casino – new sound insulation installed.
• Reception Area – received a make-over with new artwork and a fresh colour palette.
• The Pool Bar – redesigned to offer a more engaging and upscale social experience by creating additional alfresco seating for sunset dining at Candles Grill with new awning and deck furniture.
• Library – enhanced to promote a more relaxing atmosphere.
• Wind Spa – received a soft goods update.

The next phase in the renovation project will include the complete enhancement of Wind Surf, previewing on December 1 and Wind Spirit, to be completed on December 22.
