Windstar's ships are officially motored-sail- yachts (msy), 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. The unusual open-bridge operation allows guests to drop by and acquaint themselves with the veteran captains and officers who demonstrate the ship's intriguing capabilities to modern day explorers.
A new era in luxury cruising was pioneered by Windstar Cruises. Wind Star and Wind Spirit Passenger Capacity is 148 passengers (based on double occupancy). Staterooms: 74 total staterooms: 73 deluxe ocean-view air-conditioned staterooms and 1 deluxe owner's cabin with queen beds (converts to 2 twins), and dining/sitting area. Some staterooms offer a 3rd berth and some side-by-side staterooms offer an adjoining private door.
