About Wind Surf
Wind Surf is Windstar Cruises’ flagship five-masted sailing yacht and the largest vessel in its classic Wind Class. Built in 1989 as Club Med 1, she combines a yacht-like atmosphere with spacious public areas, 171 staterooms and suites, and capacity for 342 guests. The ship offers a particularly intimate cruising style, with open-deck sailing, a retractable watersports platform, multiple dining venues, a pool, whirlpools, spa and fitness facilities. Phase-one public-area renovations were completed in late 2024.

Onboard Experience
Dining
Dining venues include AmphorA, Stella Bistro, Veranda, Candles and Yacht Club Café, with both formal and casual choices and some outdoor dining.
Entertainment
Evening options include live entertainment, dancing, lectures, lounges, a casino and the open-deck sailing atmosphere. The ship emphasizes intimate yacht-style social spaces rather than large-scale production attractions.
Staterooms & suites
The ship has 171 staterooms and suites, including deluxe ocean-view staterooms, ocean-view suites and two Bridge Suites. Rooms generally include queen beds, private bathrooms, televisions, minibars, safes and Wi-Fi.
For families
The watersports platform offers weather-permitting access to kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling, windsurfing, water trampolines and water skis. The small-ship format is more suited to families seeking shared active excursions than extensive children’s programming.
Pools, spa & wellness
Facilities include the WindSpa, fitness center, Nautilus Room, swimming pool and two whirlpools.
Accessibility
Tauck lists no elevator, so travelers with mobility limitations should confirm deck access and stateroom suitability before booking.
