Star Pride is a small, all-suite Windstar yacht originally built in 1988 as Seabourn Pride and extensively lengthened and modernized in 2021. The transformation increased her capacity to 312 guests while preserving an intimate scale suited to smaller ports. Guests have suite accommodations, open-seating dining, multiple specialty restaurants, a spa and fitness center, an infinity pool, an open bridge, and a watersports platform. Her compact size and relaxed onboard atmosphere distinguish her from large resort-style cruise ships.
The 2021 Star Plus transformation added a midship section, new suites, expanded public areas, an infinity pool, and additional outdoor space. The ship also offers an open bridge and a marina-style watersports platform with complimentary equipment.
Dining includes the main Amphora restaurant, the alfresco Candles venue, Cuadro 44 Spanish small plates, Star Grill barbecue, Veranda buffet dining, and 24-hour in-room dining.
Entertainment spaces include the Star Bar, Compass Rose lounge, screening room, Yacht Club Café, and live social programming in the ship’s lounges. The open bridge provides an informal navigational and scenic experience.
All 156 accommodations are suites, including balcony, ocean-view, porthole, classic, deluxe, and multiple owner’s-suite categories. Suites generally include walk-in closets, redesigned bathrooms, a minibar, television, and in-room dining access.
The ship is designed primarily for adults seeking small-ship luxury rather than family resort activities. Its watersports platform offers snorkeling gear, kayaks, paddleboards, tubing, wakeboarding, and other equipment subject to onboard conditions.
Wellness facilities include a full-service World Spa, salon and barber services, a fitness studio, motion-center equipment, whirlpools, and an infinity pool.
Windstar lists four wheelchair-accessible cabins. Accessibility arrangements and equipment suitability should be confirmed directly with the operator before booking.
The 2021 transformation replaced the propulsion engines and diesel generators and added advanced wastewater-treatment and other efficiency improvements. These upgrades were part of Windstar’s Star Plus modernization program.
