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.

Onboard Experience

Signature highlights

The ship combines a small-yacht atmosphere with spacious all-suite accommodations, a water-access marina, on-deck hot tubs, an infinity-style pool area, a fitness center, sauna, and open-bridge access. A major lengthening and renovation added approximately 50 suites and expanded public areas.

For families

The ship offers spacious suites, a pool, hot tubs, casual dining, and a water-access marina suitable for watersports when conditions and port operations permit. It is designed primarily as an upscale small-ship experience rather than a family-focused resort ship.

Pools, spa & wellness

Wellness facilities include World Spa by Windstar, a fitness center, motion and exercise areas, sauna access, and spa treatments. The ship also provides outdoor relaxation areas and hot tubs.

Accessibility

Windstar’s deck-plan information states that boarding is via stairs only and that access to some outside decks may require assistance with doors or thresholds. Travelers with mobility needs should confirm current accommodations directly with Windstar before booking.
