Windstar Cruises

Cruising with a dash of romance

Windstar Cruises is a unique concept in cruising. Her small fleet of cruise ships are officially known as motor-sail-yachts and the teak wood floors and billowing white sails are more sailing ship than cruise liner.

Three Windstar ships accommodate just 148 passengers while Wind Surf, the largest in the fleet, can carry up to 312. Amidst this intimate and romantic setting, guests enjoy excellent service and first class facilities, including a well equipped fitness centre, spa and pool, as well as elegant bars and fabulous cuisine.

Let Virgin Holiday Cruises bring you the truly unique experience of a Windstar cruise. Prices start from just £2099

Modern cruise ships with the style of yesteryear

If you’ve ever pictured yourself on the deck of a stunning sail boat with the sun on your face and wind in your hair, then cruising with Windstar will be a dream come true. This is cruising at its most romantic.

Warm, friendly and intimate, the atmosphere is one of casual elegance - and with so few guests onboard, you’ll feel like you’ve arrived at a sophisticated house party where strangers quickly become firm friends.

The warm woods, leather clad lounges, blue and white furnishings and sundeck parasols create something of an old colonial feel. With more than one member of staff for every two guests, you can be sure of receiving good old fashioned service too.

Relax and enjoy the journey

Windstar Cruises sail to idyllic island locations so you may just want to grab a drink, sit up on deck and watch the world go by.

You’ll also find a well stocked library onboard where you can study an Atlas or lose yourself in a page-turner. Or why not select yourself a great CD or DVD, take it back to the comfort of your stateroom and settle down with a drink from your minibar.

If you’re in the mood for some activity you can work out at the fitness centre or swim a few laps of the pool. Then relax those tired muscles with a massage at the Wind Spa.

Whenever your cruise ship’s at anchor, her watersports platform comes into play and you can indulge in all sorts of activities, including snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking and scuba diving. Not big on watersports? Then how about taking a scenic boat ride along some fantastic stretches of coastline.

Romantic evenings under the stars

While you’re wandering the beach or enjoying a shore excursion, your Windstar chefs will be sourcing fresh local ingredients for their evening culinary creations. Join friends or enjoy a romantic meal for two in the restaurant, where you’ll find starched white cloths and gleaming tableware, as well as fine wines and attentive service.

Later, enjoy drinks and good conversation in the piano bar, have some fun in the casino or just grab yourself a nightcap and sit out on deck under a blanket of stars.
