What's onboard

Dining

While you’re onboard Wind Star, you’re guaranteed exceptional cuisine at every opportunity, thanks to the ship’s intimate size, in one of two venues: Amphora Restaurant and Candles Restaurant – the latter actually an amalgamation of Windstar’s iconic Candles Restaurant and al fresco buffet-style Veranda venue.

  • Amphora Restaurant - gourmet meals are served course-by-course, accompanied by a wonderful wine menu, in this elegant restaurant with an open-seating policy and a relaxed atmosphere – despite this being the formal dining option onboard
  • Veranda and Candles Restaurant - here, you’ll find buffet-style bites served throughout breakfast and lunch with flavourful food also available full-service; then, when the sun sets, this venue transforms into a fantastic place for a plate of food under the stars

You’ll also be pleased to know that you can take full advantage of the 24-hour room service available aboard Wind Star, despite this ship’s smaller size. So, if you want to enjoy a late-night bite in your stateroom – or breakfast in bed – you can rest assured knowing you’ll be well-catered onboard.

Entertainment

On a ship the size of Wind Star, entertainment options are modest to say the least; but, that doesn’t mean you won’t have anything to look forward to once the sun starts to set. In the Lounge, which acts as the entertainment hub on this yacht-style ship, you’ll find informative and interesting port talks nightly and live music from the house musicians every evening.

Meanwhile, in the Yacht Club Cafe, you’ll find a comfortable place to relax with a light bite and a refreshing drink throughout the day and into the evening. The Pool Bar, which is poolside on the top deck, is also a fantastic spot to enjoy some refreshment under the sunshine – and the stars, once night falls. For a ship this size, you’ll find yourself with more than enough space to sit down and relax after an exciting day and no trouble enjoying your evenings onboard.

Things to do

When you’re not out enjoying one of the exciting shore excursions available, there’s plenty to see and do aboard Wind Star. If you’re someone who likes to stay active, then the Watersports Platform is the place to go – which is available during select port stops on your itinerary. Here, you’ll find kayaks, paddle-boards, and snorkels among the equipment you can take advantage of. There’s also a well-equipped Fitness Centre available onboard, so you won’t need to worry about interrupting your fitness routines during your getaway.

If your idea of a holiday is more about relaxation, however, you can enjoy a number of sumptuous spa treatments and beauty treatments in the World Spa by Windstar – or, of course, you can soak up the sun by the pool and hot tub on the top deck; both of which are fantastic places to rest and recuperate after a busy day exploring any one of the stunning destinations you’ll be visiting.
