Wind Spirit
by Windstar Cruises
Wind Spirit is a graceful four-masted sailing yacht that reflects Windstar Cruises’ dedication to authentic, small-ship exploration. Designed for just 148 guests, this intimate vessel offers an elegant blend of traditional seafaring charm and contemporary comfort, creating a uniquely personal and immersive cruise experience.
Launched in 1988 and meticulously updated over the years, Wind Spirit sails primarily under wind power, with computer-assisted sails that unfurl silently above its teak decks. Its sleek design and shallow draft allow it to glide into quiet harbors, secluded coves, and hidden ports that are beyond the reach of larger cruise ships. Whether anchored off a pristine island or docked in a bustling coastal town, the ship brings guests closer to each destination—both physically and culturally.
The yacht features 74 well-appointed oceanview staterooms, including one spacious Owner’s Suite. Each stateroom is designed for comfort and relaxation, with a soothing coastal color palette, soft lighting, and thoughtful details. Guests enjoy queen-size beds with fine linens, marble-accented bathrooms stocked with L’Occitane amenities, flat-screen TVs, and fully stocked minibars. The Owner’s Suite provides additional space with a sitting area and a refined, residential feel.
Dining on Wind Spirit is relaxed yet sophisticated. Amphora, the main dining room, serves a rotating menu of regionally inspired cuisine crafted with fresh, local ingredients. Veranda offers a bright, airy setting for breakfast and lunch with both buffet and à la carte options. In the evenings, Candles transforms an open deck into a romantic al fresco restaurant featuring expertly grilled entrees under the stars. Room service is available around the clock for those who prefer the privacy of in-suite dining.
Onboard amenities support both leisure and adventure. A small plunge pool and whirlpool provide refreshing spots to unwind with ocean views. The World Spa offers rejuvenating treatments, while the fitness center is equipped with modern cardio and strength-training machines. A standout feature of the ship is the aft watersports platform, which lowers directly into the sea and offers complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear, and more when the ship is at anchor.
Wind Spirit sails to some of the world’s most naturally stunning and culturally rich destinations, including the Greek Isles, Tahiti, the Caribbean, and coastal Central America. Every itinerary is carefully curated to showcase the character and charm of each region, with immersive shore excursions and Windstar’s signature small-port access.
Offering the romance of true sailing, the comfort of a luxury yacht, and the warmth of personalized service, Wind Spirit is a perfect choice for travelers who want to slow down, savor the journey, and experience the world from the water’s edge.
