Wind Star Cruises: Sail the Seas in Intimate Luxury

The Wind Star offers a completely different way to experience ocean cruising. Built in 1986, this intimate 4-masted motor sailing ship carries just 178 passengers, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a private yacht than a traditional cruise ship. At 5,397 gross tons, the Wind Star combines the romance of sailing with modern comforts, letting you feel the wind and hear the waves while enjoying exceptional service and amenities.

This elegant vessel sails to some of the world's most captivating destinations. The South Pacific is a particular specialty, with departures from Papeete, Tahiti Island, where you can explore French Polynesia's turquoise lagoons and lush islands. Mediterranean itineraries departing from Piraeus-Athens bring you to hidden coves and charming ports that larger ships simply can't reach. Caribbean and Panama Canal voyages from Colon round out the Wind Star's diverse itinerary options, with 79 upcoming sailings offering plenty of choices throughout the year.

The Wind Star appeals to travelers who want something beyond conventional cruising. The small passenger count means you'll never feel crowded, whether you're relaxing on deck as the sails unfurl or enjoying a meal with fellow passengers. The ship's size allows access to smaller ports and secluded anchorages that big ships bypass entirely. With sailings starting from $3,232, the Wind Star delivers an intimate sailing experience that balances adventure with comfort. Browse the available Wind Star itineraries to find your perfect voyage.
