About Wind Spirit

Wind Spirit is a 148-guest, four-masted sailing yacht operated by Windstar Cruises. Built in 1988, the intimate 5,736-gross-ton ship combines computerized sails with engine-powered cruising and offers ocean-view accommodations, open-seating dining, and a high crew-to-guest ratio. Its compact size supports a relaxed yacht-style atmosphere and access to smaller ports than larger cruise ships.

Onboard Experience

Signature highlights

The yacht features six self-furling sails, a watersports platform, a pool and whirlpool, and informal small-ship service. A major refurbishment phase was completed in 2026, with a further phase planned for 2027.

For families

The ship offers watersports equipment and a retractable aft marina platform, including kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and other activities. Windstar positions Wind Spirit primarily as an intimate yacht experience rather than a child-focused family vessel.

Pools, spa & wellness

Wellness facilities include the World Spa by Windstar, a fitness center, pool, and whirlpool. The 2026 refurbishment added updated spa and fitness equipment.
