Search Help
You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:
Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can
specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if
you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.
→ In the "Advanced Search"
Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify
it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only
want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For
example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in
the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum
amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room
type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for
two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.
Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships
with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.
→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only
see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include
both vacation types.

Wind Star is a sleek, four-masted sailing yacht that comfortably accommodates 148 guests and gives each one a feeling of owning a
private yacht. Windstar Cruises provides its experienced cruisers with intimate vacations that offer great food and service. From the
moment you step aboard this vessel, you're sure to enjoy the casual and intimate atmosphere that luxury sailing has to offer, including
the award-winning service of Windstar's well-trained and ultra-attentive staff. Guests will see exclusive itineraries, featuring ports of
call that larger ships cannot reach, allowing guests to explore the world in a more personal and authentic way.
Wind Star features over 10,000 square feet of spacious, teak decks; not typical for small ships. Guests will find hidden nooks on
the main deck to help create a feeling of their own private verandah. All staterooms on the vessel have ocean views, with queen beds, Bose
SoundDock speakers for Apple iPods, and a flat-screen TV with DVD player. Guests are sure to experience maximum comfort by avoiding crowds
and regimen on a Wind Star cruise.
In addition to Windstar's casual voyage experiences, Wind Star offers a casual open dining time at two primary dining venues.
Guest can make a reservation for Candles, a venue that features steaks, skewers and dining under the stars. The Restaurant offers
delicious course-by-course, gourmet cuisine in the evenings. For those that would like to dine in the comfort of their suite or stateroom,
there is an extensive room service menu available.
While sailing on a Wind Star cruise, guests are able to choose from a great variety of entertainment areas such as the casino,
library, swimming pool, spa, fitness center, as well as lounge chairs on the Fly Bridge. Among the ship's bars and lounges are the
Piano/Pool Bar where live music and cocktails are available, as well as the Skylight Main Lounge, that includes a bar and dance floor.
