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.

Dining includes Amphora Restaurant for evening meals, Veranda for breakfast and lunch, and Candles for open-air dining when conditions permit. Windstar describes the principal dining venues as open seating.
Onboard facilities include a main lounge for evening entertainment, a library, casino, boutique, and deck areas designed for relaxed socializing. The yacht also provides access to its bridge under Windstar's standard shipboard arrangements.
Wind Spirit has 74 cabins, including an Owner's Suite, with ocean-view accommodations and queen-size beds. The ship's compact layout emphasizes private-yacht ambience rather than a large resort-style ship experience.
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.
Wellness facilities include the World Spa by Windstar, a fitness center, pool, and whirlpool. The 2026 refurbishment added updated spa and fitness equipment.
