Windstar pioneered small-ship sailing-yacht cruising in 1984 with computer-controlled sailing vessels, later adding power yachts acquired from Seabourn. It sails intimate, under-350-guest ships into ports too small for mainstream cruise ships.

Cruise ship line

Windstar Cruises is a cruise line that operates a fleet of small luxury cruise ships. Its six yachts carry just 148 to 310 guests and cruise to 50 nations, calling at 150 ports throughout Europe, the South Pacific, the Caribbean, and Central America. In May 2014, Windstar added to its sailing yachts by adding the Star Pride power yacht, followed by Star Breeze and Star Legend in May 2015. The additional capacity opened up new itineraries such as voyages to Iceland, the Panama Canal, and Costa Rica and allowed Windstar Cruises to sail Tahiti year round.
