About Wind Star

Wind Star is a compact, four-masted sailing yacht operated by Windstar Cruises and marketed by Tauck on selected small-ship journeys. Built in 1986 and renovated in 2023, the 148-guest vessel emphasizes an informal, yachting-style experience with open teak decks, ocean-view accommodations and a high crew-to-guest ratio. Its small size allows access to ports that larger cruise ships cannot reach, while six self-furling sails provide the ship’s distinctive sailing character.

Dining

Entertainment

Onboard spaces include an entertainment lounge, library and relaxed bars and gathering areas rather than a large theater-style production venue.

Wind Star has 74 staterooms, generally measuring about 188 square feet, with ocean views, queen beds, private bathrooms, televisions, refrigerators or minibars and in-room safes.

Pools, spa & wellness

Environmental features

The vessel uses six self-furling sails as auxiliary propulsion alongside diesel-electric machinery, allowing sailing conditions to contribute to propulsion.
