Star Pride: Windstar’s Elegant Yacht Experience

Subtle elegance and intimate horizons aboard the Star Pride

Evoking the understated refinement of private yachts, the Star Pride is an intimate ship completely reimagined during its 2021 renovation. Welcoming only 312 travelers, it offers a modern, bright, and elegant environment designed to sail closer to the water and to each destination. The spacious suites of the Star Pride, its inspired restaurants, and its discreet itineraries invite guests to experience the sea as a gentle emotion, where every horizon becomes a discovery.

Precious moments of an intimate voyage

Havens of clarity

The suites of the Star Pride offer a soothing cocoon where light unfolds gently, revealing creamy tones and natural textures. The marble bathrooms add a refined touch, while the French balconies or true balconies extend the space beautifully toward the horizon. Each suite becomes an elegant retreat designed for rest, contemplation, and an intimate connection with the serene sea. A quiet harmony enhances every moment spent aboard in softly graceful ways.

Places that bring together

In the communal areas of the Star Pride, every lounge cultivates an atmosphere of subtly warm conviviality. The panoramic lounge encourages interaction and landscape observation, the library offers a quiet refuge, and the observation areas invite guests to admire the sea in complete and effortless tranquility. Noble materials, pure lines, and airy volumes create a harmonious and welcoming whole that accompanies the journey with graceful, enveloping, and soothing softness.

Light in the open air

The decks of the Star Pride open the way to suspended moments between sky and water. A sparkling pool, whirlpools, sun-drenched terraces, and a deployable marina create a natural immersion in the gentle rhythm of the ocean. One relaxes, breathes, and lets oneself be carried by the wind and the light, in perfect harmony with the movement of the ship. Each moment becomes a pause of deep calm, ideal for reconnecting with the sea and with oneself completely.

Flavors of the world and the elegance of the Star Pride

Inspired tables

Aboard the Star Pride, each culinary space becomes a refined experience shaped by the talented chefs of Windstar Cruises. AmphorA offers contemporary five-course menus crafted from fresh ingredients and modern techniques with finesse. Cuadro 44 reveals a creative Iberian cuisine, while Candles provides a romantic dinner beneath the starlit sky. The ensemble reflects the Windstar philosophy: an intimate gastronomy that is flexible, expressive, and centered on the flavors of travel.

Journey of the senses

The culinary experience of the Star Pride follows the path of its destinations, adapting menus to Mediterranean, Caribbean, Central American, or Adriatic flavors encountered. Local oils, market fish, and regional spices create an authentic immersion into each place visited. The chefs sometimes collaborate with producers met ashore, strengthening the link between landscapes and plates. Outdoor meals at the Star Grill, near the upper deck, elevate every bite with a spectacular view.

Elegant evenings

At nightfall, the lounges of the Star Pride become soft spaces where elegance and tranquility intertwine gracefully. The Yacht Club, bathed in gentle lighting, lends itself to refined aperitifs and relaxed moments, while the outdoor bars invite guests to enjoy a cocktail facing the serene night sky. The evenings glow with live music, quiet conversations, or simple moments of contemplation, staying true to the intimate cruising spirit of Windstar Cruises and beyond.

Stopovers, horizons, and discoveries of the voyage

Cultures revealed

The Star Pride sails toward destinations selected for their beauty and authenticity. In the Mediterranean, it reaches discreet ports such as Hydra, Kotor, or Sorrento; in the Caribbean, it explores Tobago Cays, St. Barts, or the Dominican coasts; in Central America, it crosses the Panama Canal. Guests enjoy personalized excursions, local encounters, and small-group visits, true to the Windstar spirit that emphasizes proximity, discovery, and cultural precision during every moment.

Serenity regained

The spa on the Star Pride, inspired by the philosophy of marine well-being, offers a soft and luminous atmosphere. Personalized massages, facial treatments, aromatic therapies, a sauna, a hammam, and a contemporary fitness room help restore balance and vitality. On board, the outdoor areas extend this search for calm: sunrise yoga, stretching facing the sea, or simple contemplation of the waves, a gentle way to slow down and breathe deeply the refreshing ocean air.

Peaceful nights

When night envelops the Star Pride, guests enjoy a soothing ambiance where silence becomes a luxury. Small, elegant activities, live music, lectures, culinary demonstrations, and navigation stories punctuate the evenings without ever disturbing the yacht’s deep tranquility. Nightlife on board fully reflects the essence of Windstar cruises: intimacy, refinement, discretion, and a gentle emotion that accompanies every serene end of day beautifully.
