Star Breeze
Large enough to pamper and entertain you, but small enough to pull into hidden harbours and coves other cruise ships can’t, you’ll feel like you’re on your own private yacht the moment you step aboard Star Breeze. With all-suite accommodation and an attentive crew making each cruise on this unique ship an equally unique experience, you’ll delight in sumptuous spa treatments and sensational cuisine as you sail to a wide array of destinations; from small ports in the sensational Tuamotu Islands to Tahiti and Bora Bora, Star Breeze will whisk you away on an adventure to some of the most exciting places in the world. And, with an impressive refurbishment in 2021 introducing venues like Cuardo 44 by Anthony Sasso and Compass Rose alongside enough stylish suites for just 312 passengers, a voyage on Star Breeze promises an unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime.

While you’re not going to find yourself with too many sea days during a port-packed Star Breeze sailing, there’s still more than enough entertainment for you to enjoy onboard. From the famous Crew Talent Show to nightly port talks and a healthy dose of live music for anyone hoping to dance the night away, each evening will breeze by in any one of the following entertainment venues onboard:

Things to do
Windstar itineraries are often port-intensive, meaning you’ll spend just as much time enjoying exciting shore excursions as you will everything onboard; however, that doesn’t mean there isn’t going to be anything to do while you’re sailing with Star Breeze – far from it, in fact. This is one of the best small luxury cruise ships sailing, after all. From expert-led cooking demonstrations and tasting sessions to navigation lessons and Captain meet-and-greets, each voyage is packed with enriching experiences for you to take advantage of.
Or, if you’d rather spend your time pampering yourself, you can check out World Spa by Windstar – home to both a thermal suite and steam room, alongside a selection of sumptuous spa treatments. There’s also a pool and hot tub on the top deck, if you would prefer to soak in the sunshine, and a Beauty Salon onboard, offering a full suite of refreshing and rejuvenating treatments for you to enjoy.
For the more active travellers among you, there’s a state-of-the-art Fitness Centre and Motion Studio onboard – perfect for working up a sweat while sailing – and an impressive Watersports Platform that opens up at select ports; here, you can enjoy private access to the sea with kayaks, snorkeling equipment, paddle-boarding, and more.
