Fully refurbished in 2022, Star Pride is an intimately-sized Star Plus Class cruise ship from Windstar Cruises with space for just 312 guests at a time; and, overflowing with elegance and attentive service at every opportunity, you can’t help but feel as though you’re embarking on an adventure on a private yacht when you set sail on this incredible vessel. From unique sailings around Iceland to North American tours and Caribbean cruises, Star Pride will whisk you away on an incredible adventure to some of the most stunning spots in the world – visiting hidden harbours and often un-visited ports thanks to its smaller size. While onboard, you can enjoy truly excellent eating in restaurants like Cuardo 44 by Anthony Sasso and Amphora, relax and rejuvenate in the World Spa by Windstar, and even take to the seas yourself in a kayak – courtesy of the aft-facing Watersports Platform. However you want to spend your time sailing with Star Pride, you’ll do so making memories that will last a lifetime.

Customer reviews for Star Pride
Great cruise and enjoyed the small boat experience. Informal and opportunity to really get to know crew and other guests while visiting small ports that other cruise ships can’t access. Only a few other UK guests- mostly US /Canada. Qloved it so much planning further cruise next year
