are broader than ever

with the addition of six new

itineraries and new ports in

Puerto Rico

and the ABC Islands

(Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao).

Panama & Costa Rica

More ships, more

departures, and two new

itineraries expand your

choices in the Crossroads

of the Americas.

Tahiti

Now you can cruise Tahiti’s

stunning waters year-round

on the elegant sailing yacht,

Wind Spirit.

Secluded lagoons and intimate harbors are made even more spectacular when seen

from the decks of the world’s #1-rated Small Ship Cruise Line. The 2014 Condé Nast

Traveler Readers’ Choice Award demonstrates something Windstar guests have known

all along — that nothing brings your dreams to life like Windstar.

WORLD’S BEST SMALL SHIP CRUISE LINE

P R I V A T E Y A C H T S T Y L E

• Fewer than 300 guests. Large enough to pamper you in luxury, fine dining, and spacious living. Yet small enough to visit tiny islands and remote villages others can’t reach.

• Legendary service. The best on the seas.

• Visit smaller ports and immerse yourself in exclusive local experiences only Windstar can offer.

• Voted #1 in the world in value, personal service, and dining.

2 I W I N D S TA R C R U I S E S . C O M

With fewer than 300 companions on board guests soon become friends, not just faces.

You accept the open invitation to drop by the Bridge and chat with the Captain — just

as you would on your own private yacht. And when you find the perfect cove on a

perfect day, you abandon other plans and dive off the Watersports Platform into water

so clear you can see the coral below.

Your lovely yacht takes you right to your destination. Small groups quickly dissipate on

shore, circumventing the label of “tourist.” And exhausting all-day excursions to the

likes of Jost Van Dyke, Isla de Coiba, and Isla Culebra are passé.

UNLIKE ANY OTHER CRUISE

S M A L L S H I P E X P E R I E N C E


There you are, stretched out on deck, savoring the gentle sea breeze, and — voila! —

the perfect refreshing drink appears at your side. Or you’re just finishing dinner,

contemplating the beautiful evening ahead, when — presto! — your absolute favorite

dessert is suddenly in front of you. Or, after a day of exploring, our attentive crew is at

your service welcoming you back with a warm smile. Are we really psychic, or are we

just paying attention to what will make your moment perfect? You tell us.

* Named Best Service in Condé Nast Traveler 2014 Readers’ Choice Awards.

#1 SERVICE – IN THE WORLD*

I T ’ S A L L A B O U T Y O U


Experience the kind of adventure that defines the difference between tourism

and true travel. Only on Windstar’s small ships can you ask questions at will of your

onboard Costa Rican Naturalist, enjoy mouthwatering yacht deck barbecues within

sight of rare birds and sea turtles, and explore the great outdoors by kayak,

paddleboard, or sailboat directly from the Watersports Platform.

It’s an intimate style of cruising that promotes connections, understanding, and a

renewed sense of wonder.

ISLAND

EXPERIENCE

Discover what it’s like to have your own private island for the day. Kick off your shoes for activities such as volleyball, snorkeling, and bocce ball. Dine al fresco in the most beautiful setting imaginable, your appetite roused by the delicious aromas coming from the barbecue. Taste a signature cocktail created to commemorate this incredible day as you pose for the ultimate selfie, with your exquisite private yacht in the background.


What would a tropical island getaway be without a touch of local color, a delicious

feast, and time to fully immerse yourself in the island experience? On your special day

you will enjoy one of the following complimentary experiences, determined by your

chosen itinerary.

EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE EVENTS

A D A Y I N P A R A D I S E

CELEBRATION FESTIVAL

It’s right out of a dream — an evening of Polynesian magic on a secluded motu all your own. Inhale the heady scent of your flower lei and tender suckling pig. Feast on tropical delights and meat so tender it almost melts in your mouth. Then as the stars begin to shine, gaze on as dancers dazzle you with their mastery of fire, twirling and throwing flames so fierce you feel the heat from 10 feet away.

AN ANTILLEAN EVENING

As the sunset paints the pastel buildings of Willemstad’s Old Town you watch ships go by, listen to talented local musicians, and admire the Antillean décor of an acclaimed restaurant located in a beautifully restored 18th century building. Dutch, Creole, Venezuelan and Indonesian flavors mingle in the music and the delicious cuisine served on a covered verandah. The only thing that could make this evening more perfect would be an easy return to your elegant yacht. Oh look, it’s right there.

ST. LUCIAN POTPOURRI

Past and present merge and mingle on this Private Event created especially for St. Lucia. Wander the historic fort, now silent except for the calls of mockingbirds and doves. Watch, mesmerized, as the history of St. Lucia unfolds in a glorious amalgam of music, dance, and light. Browse the open-air food stalls as steel drums play and sample island specialties from soup to rum. It’s more than a taste of local culture — it’s an eminently satisfying buffet.

W I N D S TA R C R U I S E S . C O M I 7 W I N D S TA R C R U I S E S . C O M I 7

Each day is filled with larger-than-life memories, just like being on your own private

yacht. They can be as special as our deck barbecues, elaborate sunset celebrations followed

by music and dancing under the stars. Or the intoxicating freedom of exploring new

wonders away from crowds, lines, and regimen.

In every port, make sure you’re on deck for Windstar’s signature Sail Away to the majestic

strains of Vangelis’ stirring 1492: Conquest of Paradise.

SIMPLY UNFORGETTABLE

M A G I C A L M O M E N T S


With Windstar, you enjoy all the premium amenities of a luxury cruise for less than

you may imagine. A rare combination indeed.

Our beautiful sailing yachts and all suite power yachts excel on every level. And

whichever yacht you choose, you will enjoy elegant surroundings, artfully crafted

cuisine, complimentary Private Events, and a wealth of daily indulgences and courtesies

that make each day exceptional.

NEW VOYAGE FOR 2016 = NEW

At the juncture of two funnels, life

pours into the Crossroads of the Americas.

A refuge for rare species from north and

south. Nationalities drawn to the isthmus

that offers swift passage between east and

west. The jungle and sea are brimming

with it — scarlet macaws, sea turtles,

howler monkeys, whales, blue morpho

butterflies the size of dinner plates.

Against all this color and cacophony,

your elegant white yacht rests at anchor

awaiting your return from a canopy zip

line or kayak trip through the mangroves.

You are an explorer by day, with cocktails

on the fantail at 5.

Shh. There are still secret places here

that only yachtsmen know. Places where

there’s only one beach bar in sight, closed

if the proprietor decides to go spear fishing.

Your private yacht has an uncanny ability

to find places like this. Places where your

day’s activities are timed by the rumble of

your stomach, the drowsiness following

a good swim, an iridescent sunset that

heralds “sailor’s delight” on the morrow.

But then, one glance at your itinerary

already told you that.

DREAMS OF TAHITI 32

TAHITI DIVE AND SNORKEL PROGRAM 33

It’s a match made in heaven, this.

You on your pristine white ship, sails

billowing, and these islands, so impossibly

colorful, like a box of crayons gone mad.

Wind Spirit is as at-home among Tahiti’s

deserted motus and shallow lagoons as a

tiare flower, and just as beautiful, furled

or unfurled. Bliss knows no bounds.

The sand massages your feet, warm water

welcomes you like an old friend, ambition

falls away as you watch the sun etch palm

fronds on the beach. This is a place that

is easy to love, difficult to leave, as so

many before you have discovered. Come.

Keep the promise you made to yourself

so long ago.

If you’re looking to get away from it all, there’s no

better place than Fakarava, nicknamed “End of the

World.” It’s a place that has only recently appeared on

the radar of intrepid travelers, with uninterrupted coral

gardens, myriad forms of sea life, and rare species —

found here, and nowhere else.

Unlike the other 420 atolls on the planet, the inner

lagoon at Fakarava is completely closed, creating a

unique ecosystem that’s still revealing its mysteries.

There are no banks or ATMs. No casinos or duty free

shops. Just paradise, the Wind Spirit, and you.

• Experience the magic with Windstar’s Dive and Snorkeling Options (see page 33).

• Visit a lovely Catholic church built entirely of coral in the late 1800s.

• The pristine, nutrient-rich lagoon offers the rare conditions needed for pearl farming. Learn how Tahitian pearls are created.

• Discover impossibly pink sand beaches and uninhabited motus fringed with coconut trees .

VOYAGE HIGHLIGHTS

• Luxuriate in three delightful overnights, each in a unique island paradise

• Discover Moorea, the inspiration for South Pacific’s mystical Bali Hai

• Experience drift snorkeling among coral gardens

• Sail, swim, and kayak from the yacht’s Watersports Platform throughout the voyage

• Celebrate at a festive beach party and on a fun-filled onboard barbecue

• Gaze into a fiery sunset and watch for the green flash as it melts below the horizon

A graceful sailing yacht is the perfect way to experience the true wonder of

Tahiti. We’ll let the trade winds fill our sails as we visit one legendary island

after another, staying overnight in most to give you time to swim and snorkel

in crystal-clear lagoons, meander through lush rainforests, and experience the

fascinating Polynesian culture from tikis to tiare flowers.

TRANSOCEANIC VOYAGES 36

Time hangs suspended like the moon

above. Pleasures linger like fine wine

on the palate rather than being rushed

along by the turbulence of daily life.

You’ve never had days like this — free of

obligation and with no ruler for success

other than meeting your pillow with

a smile. You’ve never seen stars like

this — pushing back the abyss of space

with impossible brightness. Progress

is measured in intimate conversations,

sunrises and sunsets, visits to the Bridge,

a massage in the spa. There are magical

ports on the horizon, yes, but your desire

for haste has somehow dissolved away in

a sea of serenity.

OCEAN CROSSINGS

T I M E F O R Y O U


R econnect and recharge as you experience the sublime pleasures of an ocean crossing. Bow points to an invisible

shore. Stern traces a froth-edged line across the sea. Keep an eye out for birds and marine life or lose yourself in that

book you’ve never had time to read. Out here on the streamlined sailing and power yachts of Windstar you have all the

time in the world to relax and restore.

TRANSOCEANIC VOYAGES

VOYAGE HIGHLIGHTS

• Sweeping ocean vistas from your stateroom or suite

• Time for your favorite indulgences — from a relaxing massage to breakfast in bed

• New friendships with like-minded travelers

• Extraordinary cuisine — and great fitness equipment to work it off

• Private yacht lifestyle with no interruptions

• Dropping by the Bridge for an impromptu navigation lesson

• More stars overhead than you ever imagined

A day on board your Windstar

yacht is a day of choices, all of them

good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a

relaxing massage in WindSpa. Or maybe

an invigorating workout in the state-of-

the-art Fitness Center. Even better,

why not both? After an enjoyable lunch

in Veranda, make a splash from the

Watersports Platform off the yacht’s

stern. Everything you can think of for

fun in the water is there — swimming,

snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding,

even water skiing. And it’s all

complimentary, of course. Sun yourself

on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then

catch up on email or grab a DVD for

your stateroom or suite in the Library.

After dinner, try your luck in the Casino

and dance to live music in the Lounge.

This is your yacht, so of course you’re

welcome on the Bridge, where the

Captain and officers are delighted to

share charts, routes, and vistas with you.

As you prepare for another amazing

Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap

anywhere you like — on deck, in the

Lounge, or why not let us bring it to

your suite or stateroom? Your day

ends just as it began, blissfully.

YOUR YACHT IS WAITING

O N B O A R D E X P E R I E N C E


Windstar’s private yacht style

suffuses every detail of our three all suite

Star Class yachts, each accommodating

just 212 guests. Recently renovated to

the tune of $8.5 million each, they offer

everything you need to savor the yachting

lifestyle from fine Egyptian cotton linens

to panoramic views from your expansive

windows or French Doors — at a size

that is large enough to pamper and

entertain you, yet small enough to tuck

into delightful tiny harbors and hidden

coves that others can’t reach.

After an elegant meal in AmphorA or

romantic Candles, you have your choice

of entertainments. Enjoy live music in

Compass Rose, stop by the Screening

Room for the latest movie, or sip a drink

under the constellations at Star Bar on

deck. For the ultimate experience,

reserve one of our Destination Suites

showcasing exotic Windstar destinations

such as Bora Bora.
