Star Collector: Beaches & Bastions of the BVI and Spanish Caribbean

Star Pride is an elegant, all-suite yacht that delivers Windstar Cruises’ signature small-ship experience with sophistication and style. Designed for just 312 guests, the ship offers a refined alternative to larger cruise vessels—combining personalized service, expansive accommodations, and a relaxed onboard ambiance with the ability to explore some of the world’s most captivating and hard-to-reach destinations.

As part of Windstar’s $250 million Star Plus Initiative, Star Pride underwent a transformative renovation in 2021. The ship was lengthened by 84 feet, resulting in expanded public areas, new culinary venues, and additional suites. Upgrades also included new eco-friendly engines and enhanced environmental systems, positioning the vessel at the forefront of sustainable luxury travel. Though refreshed and modernized, Star Pride retains the intimate, yachting spirit that defines the Windstar experience.

All 156 suites on board are ocean-facing, offering spacious layouts ranging from 277 to over 800 square feet. Designed with a blend of contemporary elegance and classic comfort, each suite features plush bedding, walk-in closets, marble-accented bathrooms with dual vanities, and thoughtful amenities such as Illy espresso machines and L’Occitane bath products. Many suites include private verandas or French balconies, creating a seamless connection to the sea and surrounding landscapes.

Dining on Star Pride is elevated, globally inspired, and entirely complimentary. Amphora, the ship’s main dining room, offers ever-changing menus rooted in fresh, seasonal ingredients. Candles transforms the deck into a romantic open-air steakhouse by night, while Cuadro 44 by chef Anthony Sasso offers bold, modern Spanish cuisine in an intimate, tapas-style setting. Star Grill by Steven Raichlen serves barbecue with international flair in a casual al fresco setting, and the Yacht Club Café is a favorite for fresh pastries, coffee, and light bites throughout the day. In-suite dining is available 24 hours a day for added flexibility.

The ship’s amenities cater to both active travelers and those seeking rest and rejuvenation. A full-service spa and wellness complex offers a variety of treatments, a thermal suite, and a well-equipped fitness center. Open decks and lounges provide ample space for relaxation, while the watersports platform at the stern gives guests direct access to complimentary activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling when conditions allow.

Thanks to its size and shallow draft, Star Pride is able to navigate narrow waterways and dock in smaller ports that are inaccessible to larger ships. Whether cruising the Norwegian fjords, the coastal towns of the Mediterranean, or the islands of Southeast Asia, the ship brings guests closer to the cultural and natural heart of each destination.
