Nights of softness and reimagined horizons aboard the Star Breeze


Fully reinvented between 2020 and 2021, the Star Breeze unveils a new way of traveling, both intimate and luminous. Built in 1989 and later integrated into the fleet in 2015, it was lengthened and modernized to welcome 312 passengers into a refined setting where light woods, gentle lighting, and contemporary lines create a harmonious atmosphere. Aboard the Star Breeze, every moment becomes a breath of wonder, an experience where discreet comfort, sincerity, and natural beauty come together effortlessly.

Reinvented moments of life at sea

Rooms of tranquility

The suites of the Star Breeze reveal bright retreats where noble materials, gentle lines, and calming tones come together beautifully and harmoniously. Designed to offer generous space, they feature elegant lounges, premium beds, immense picture windows, and modernized marble bathrooms. The new Grand and Owner’s Suites, created after the ship’s extension, enhance this impression of spacious intimacy, ideal for enjoying the sea in complete and peaceful serenity.

Lounges of light

The communal areas of the Star Breeze create a warm and refined atmosphere: a panoramic lounge, a quiet library, cafés where one can savor the view, and relaxing salons open to the horizon. The Yacht Club Café and Compass Rose become places for meeting, reading, or indulging in gourmet pauses, elevated by contemporary materials and gentle lighting. The harmony of the spaces and the serenity of the colors extend this ambiance of elegantly soothing calm.

Decks of contemplation

The exterior decks of the Star Breeze offer an open setting where the sea becomes pure and mesmerizing scenery. The elongated pool, lounge areas, elegant sunbeds, and shaded spaces form a perfect environment for sunbathing, starlit evenings, or simply listening to the wind. At any moment, one is embraced by the light, the breeze, and the naturally calming rhythm of the ocean. Here, time stretches easily, inviting deep, continuous, and wonderfully serene relaxation.

Culinary journeys aboard the Star Breeze

Dining in motion

The restaurants of the Star Breeze offer an exceptional culinary experience, true to the Windstar Cruises philosophy. AmphorA presents an international menu reimagined with fresh ingredients sourced from regional producers and artisans. Cuadro 44 by Anthony Sasso pays tribute to Spanish cuisine through modern and bold dishes crafted thoughtfully. The Veranda welcomes travelers in a relaxed setting, ideal for a sunny breakfast or a panoramic lunch facing the shimmering sea.

Flavors of the world

On every voyage of the Star Breeze, the menus evolve with the destinations: Greek wines in the Mediterranean, spices from Central America, tropical fruits in Polynesia, or Japanese influences across Asia. The chefs draw inspiration from local markets to enrich each plate and offer a deeper sensory immersion. Themed evenings and onboard tastings invite travelers to explore culinary cultures in an authentic, refined, and delightfully gourmet and memorable way, creating lasting impressions.

Savory nights

The Star Breeze offers an elegant nighttime atmosphere where gastronomy continues effortlessly after dinner. The Star Bar welcomes travelers outdoors to enjoy a cocktail under the starry sky with serenity, while the indoor Lounge becomes a warm retreat animated by live music and calming conversations. The Windstar Signature evenings, inspired by the destinations visited, add a unique cultural touch and create harmony between gastronomy, relaxation, and a beautifully refined ambiance.

Soulful stopovers and inspired discoveries

Emotional shores

The itineraries of the Star Breeze stand out for their exclusive character, offering access to ports unreachable for large ships. In the Mediterranean, it sails past hilltop villages, secret coves, and historic cities; in the Caribbean, it explores authentic islands such as Bequia, St. Barts, or Antigua; in Asia, it reaches Kagoshima, Osaka, or the tropical islands of southern Japan. Each stop includes carefully selected excursions: hikes, private visits, artisan workshops, or local tastings designed thoughtfully.

Wellness in motion

The spa on the Star Breeze, expanded during the Star Plus Initiative renovation, offers a range of treatments inspired by world traditions: Balinese massages, marine wraps, aromatherapy, and relaxing rituals. The fitness room, modern and bright, encourages a positive and uplifting energy. On the outer decks, sunrise yoga, stretching, or guided meditation creates a deep harmony with the rhythm of the navigation, in an intimate ambiance conducive to meaningful rejuvenation.

Soft evenings

The nights on the Star Breeze reveal a delicate atmosphere, animated by discreet and refined entertainment. Acoustic music, piano, singing, or open-air screenings set the pace of the evenings according to the weather. The Windstar Signature evenings, often inspired by the cultures visited, offer artistic demonstrations, cultural presentations, or themed tastings. This elegant approach to entertainment creates a calming setting, ideal for prolonging the day’s gentle magic.

Selected destinations and luminous discoveries with the Star Breeze

Unexpected routes

The Star Breeze explores some of the most captivating itineraries offered by Windstar Cruises: the Mediterranean, the Panama Canal, Central America, French Polynesia, and even the islands of Japan. Thanks to its intimate size, it sails through narrow fjords, docks in quieter ports, and offers spectacular views from its inviting outdoor spaces. Its routes are designed to maximize time at sea, immersive port calls, and expansive panoramic perspectives throughout the voyage.

Local immersions

Each stop of the Star Breeze becomes an authentic cultural experience. Travelers can visit traditional markets, meet skilled artisans, discover family-owned vineyards, attend culinary demonstrations, explore natural parks, or admire iconic landmarks. Windstar excursions prioritize small groups, authenticity, and the quality of discovery, reflecting the company’s philosophy of slow and intimate travel with purpose and genuinely enriching cultural meaning.

Golden moments

The most precious moments on the Star Breeze often unfold on deck: sunrise over the calm waters of Bora Bora, a glowing twilight across the Aegean Sea, starry nights in the Caribbean, or golden silences in the Mediterranean. These moments, lived in the peaceful rhythm of the ship, reveal the full magic of traveling on a smaller, more intimate scale. Light, wind, and the sea become the natural companions of a cruise designed to gently touch the heart.
