Serving just 312 guests, Star Pride is the perfect size — small enough to offer unique experiences that set Windstar apart from other cruise lines (like our complimentary Signature Beach Party), yet large enough for you to make plenty of new connections on board — all without ever feeling crowded.
This intimate all-suite yacht features spacious, ocean-view accommodations, each with a walk-in closet and updated double-vanity bathroom. On board, you’ll find a fully equipped fitness center, a spa with complimentary sauna, an infinity pool, two full-service bars, on-deck hot tubs, a water-access marina platform, and so much more.
And did we mention all dining is included? From gourmet bites at our Yacht Club Café to 24-hour room service and even specialty restaurants like Basil + Bamboo (available April 7, 2026), Windstar’s award-winning cuisine is always complimentary, so you can indulge freely and enjoy every moment of your journey.

I just returned from the Panama to Costa Rica cruise through the Panama Canal. It was an excellent cruise, the ship and staff were great. The day we transited the canal, there was a very knowledgeable guide giving a commentary with all relevant history and facts all day. It was a great experience. The only complaint I had was with some of the excursions. The island hopping and snorkeling trip was awful. They use little fishing boats with no swim platform and inadequate ladder. The ladder was too short, the bottom rung just a few inches below the water line. You were supposed to somehow get your knees up onto the bottom rung and haul yourself up. They need to purchase better ladders. As well, the diving was lousy… brown rocks, murky water, nothing to see. Another excursion I took included a stop at an orchid farm. It was really hot and was at the end of a busy , strenuous morning. We all entered the greenhouse and a guide gave a lecture about the orchids however none were in blood. It was a sweaty greenhouse filled with green stems and leaves. All in all, it was a fun cruise
We sailed with Windstar Cruises in November, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped onboard, it was clear this was not a typical cruise—it was refined, relaxed, and deeply personal. The small-ship experience makes all the difference: no crowds, no lines, no chaos—just open decks, ocean air, and a sense of calm that stays with you. We traveled with a group of 19 people, and the crew took absolutely incredible care of us. Their attention to detail, warmth, and genuine hospitality made every single person in our group feel seen and valued. They somehow managed to anticipate needs before we even voiced them, all while keeping the experience effortless and unpretentious. The cabins deserve special mention—beautifully designed, spacious, and exceptionally comfortable, with thoughtful storage and details that made them feel like a retreat rather than just a room. After full days enjoying the ship and ports, it was a joy to return to such a peaceful, well-appointed space. Add in outstanding food, elegant yet relaxed dining, and the luxury of anchoring off ports instead of docking in crowded terminals, and the result is something truly special. Windstar has officially spoiled us for life.
I am writing this review because - I've become aware - that people are quicker to write about the negative than the positive. So this is to balance that score a bit. My cruise was wonderful. I was a solo traveler and I still find traveling solo difficult since losing my partner. But the charming cruise director had arranged a solo traveler's reception on the first night and a hosted dinner on the second. Having others to dine with and talk to at the beginning of the cruise made such a positive impact on my experience. The crew and staff were wonderful. I was impressed by how friendly the officers were, and that they genuinely seemed to enjoy mingling with the passengers. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Some looked a little tired at times - I hope they are not overworked. The suites are absolutely wonderful, and turndown service sometimes includes little gifts - local products or Windstar souvenirs. (loved my microfiber Windstar logo clothes!). My knees that have no cartilage appreciated the extra thick carpet pads in the ship. :) My cabin and the rest of the ship looked to be in pristine condition to me. I found the Yacht Club to be especially beautiful and a nice place to visit when it seemed to hot outside or when I got peckish between meals. (The little sandwiches they serve are delicious). Most of the food was good to very good. And the duck a l'orange I had at The Restaurant was outstanding. (As was the soufflé I had for desert). The on-deck BBQ was really amazing. Tanya, the cruise director, is an operatic singer. Her voice bought me to tears at one point. Oh, and I had never before been sung 'Happy Birthday' in opera-style before. :) The on-board band was also fantastic.

Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there — swimming, kayaking, sail-boarding, even water skiing. And it’s all complimentary, of course.
