Overview
Wind Spirit is one of the yachts that started it all. Commissioned in 1984, this 148-guest sailing icon helped pioneer a new kind of cruising — one with real working sails, that felt more like a private yacht than a regular cruise.
Four decades later, Wind Spirit still delivers that same elegant yet laid-back atmosphere — now with upgraded amenities and a stunning redesign under our Setting Sails initiative.
This intimate sailing yacht features wide-open teak decks, staterooms with ocean views, an Owner’s Suite, the World Spa by Windstar, a pool with a bar, a hot tub, a water-access marina and much more.
Wind Spirit also offers multiple dining options — all open seating and complimentary — including our main restaurant Amphora, the full-surface breakfast and lunch buffet Veranda, and our specialty restaurant Candles.
Ready to experience Wind Spirit for yourself? Join us on one of her voyages in the Mediterranean — and get ready to sail 180 Degrees From Ordinary©.

"Set Sail with the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation "
It’s the perfect pairing. Windstar Cruises and the James Beard Foundation are partnered to bring you culinary experiences that are 180 degrees from ordinary. Through this program, Windstar works with the James Beard Foundation to bring together some of the most talented chefs on themed cruises and in our dining program.
Imagine dining on dishes created by not just one celebrity chef, but a list of all-stars with the likes of Maxime Bilet (The Cooking Lab), Evan Hanzcor (Egg), and José Mendín (Pubbelly Noodle Bar, Habitat, Baja Bao) every single night in our main Amphora dining room. For a truly beyond ordinary experience, join us on our themed cruises featuring James Beard Foundation chefs and beverage experts: a foodie’s dream with dishes created by the chefs themselves and chef-accompanied market tours. And learn their secrets as you watch demos of their recipes on every sailing.
The James Beard Foundation was created to recognize and celebrate the chefs, writers and restaurateurs who advance America’s culinary arts. This emphasis on innovation and excellence pairs perfectly with Windstar’s superior service, intimate ambiance and drive to constantly innovate its cuisine. The James Beard Foundation nominates and chooses winners of the James Beard Awards, referred to as the Oscars of the restaurant industry.
As the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation, we’re able to work with over 20 of the best chefs to create the extraordinary dishes on our nightly menu and in our culinary demos. Windstar is celebrating the 10th anniversary of our partnership in 2025. To mark this special occasion, we're thrilled to announce the return of several beloved chefs who have sailed with us in the past.

All of our excursions are created to provide authentic local experience — the kind travelers like you are looking for. And with more than 2,000 excursions to choose from, you can experience your destination in whatever way is most meaningful to you. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a foodie, a history buff or someone who loves to get to know the faces behind the many places we travel.
We make sure the hot springs are hot and the pinot grigio is chilled.How do we find these authentic experiences, you ask? Our Product Development Team travels to each destination and personally vet each shore excursion to make sure it makes the grade (So yes, the Open Course Canopy Challenge in Falmouth Harbour, Antigua? They went on that). And because we travel in small groups, we can adjust tours in real time based on guest feedback, whether that means finding a different place for lunch, or spending more time at a particularly fascinating historical site. We take the time and make the trip because we want your travels to be unforgettable.
