shipEach beautiful day unfurls like the crisp white sails of your spectacular yacht. You can sleep late and enjoy breakfast in bed, but the warm breezes beckon and you eye a deserted cove nearby.

Life is a series of choices. And life aboard Windstar invites you to make these choices. Do everything, or do nothing at all. Windstar offers a variety of shipboard activities, water sports, spa treatments and optional shore excursions to suit every taste and ambition.

Dining

Dining aboard Windstar is, in a word, extraordinary. It begins at sunrise with coffee and croissants set out on deck and goes late into the evening, capped off with a cognac from the Pool Bar.

The Bistro

The Restaurant

There are no formal seating assignments in The Restaurant, no need for a jacket and tie. So bring your appetite and high expectations; each evening is a celebration of fine wine and cuisine at its best.

The Veranda

The airy Veranda restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, where dining is inside or al fresco under the shade of huge sun umbrellas.

Fitness Center

Library

You might spend time in the ship's library, pouring over an atlas or choosing a CD or DVD to take back to your stateroom.

Wind Spa

A sea and a spa, was there ever a more natural combination? Sink into a spa bath fragrant with seaweed and sage, and all cares melt away. Let an aromatic massage purify your mind. Skilled spa therapists are ready to soothe your body, mind and spirit with herbal wraps; massage; skin, hair and nail treatments; fitness and nutritional programs.

Watersports

Complimentary watersports are available in the afternoons on most itineraries when anchored, on all three Windstar ships. Visit the open-air watersports platform located aft. All watersports are offered sea and weather conditions permitting. In the event of turbulent seas and adverse weather conditions, watersports may be cancelled for safety reasons.

Banana-Boat Rides

A great way to experience the waters and coastlines of these beautiful ports is from an exhilarating seat on the “banana” boat. Four to five people may ride on the banana and a spotter is required to ride in the boat. This is a bumpy ride for the adventurous!

Discover Scuba Diving/Certified Scuba Diving Program

Both programs are led by our dive-masters who are PADI certified. The Discover Scuba Diving program for beginners includes a simple, comprehensive classroom and pool session. After that, beginners can sign up for designated dives. Experienced divers need to bring their certification card and can accompany the dive masters on all dives offered.

Kayaking

Paddle off together to enjoy the coastal sights and get some exercise. Kayaks are available for one or two people for half-an-hour and must be entered from the water.

Sailing

Enjoy the wind and the sea on the Topper or Rumba Escape Sailboats. Designed for experienced sailors, sailboats accommodate one or two people.

Scenic Boat Rides

A relaxing way to take a closer look at the surrounding coast and wildlife. Come for a ride in one of our inflatable boats along scenic coastlines. Don’t forget to bring a camera!

Snorkeling

Enjoy the underwater beauty of reefs, coral, sea life and sunken treasure in many of the ports. Complimentary snorkel gear is provided. Snorkeling excursions are available for an additional charge. Underwater cameras are also available.

Swimming

If a swim is all you desire, this too is an option. A swim line and user-friendly ladder are provided as well as supervision for your safety.

Waterskiing
