About Star Breeze
Star Breeze is a 312-guest, all-suite yacht in Windstar’s Star Class. Originally completed in 1989 as Seabourn Spirit, the ship was lengthened and extensively transformed during Windstar’s Star Plus initiative, adding suites, dining venues, expanded public spaces, and a larger marina area. Its small size supports an intimate onboard atmosphere, while six guest decks provide ocean-view suites, multiple restaurants, a spa, fitness facilities, lounges, and a water-access marina.
