Star Pride

Dining Under the Stars: In the evening, the casual buffet eatery is transformed into Candles, a reservation-recommended restaurant with no cover charge. Guests dine on grilled steaks and skewers, salads, and indulgent desserts.

Sandwich Bar: Sometimes you just want a simple sandwich for lunch, or to take on a shore excursion. You can grab a freshly made one at the Yacht Club.

Yacht-Style Ambience: From its small size — no more than 212 passengers — to the crisp nautical décor, the Star Pride sometimes feels like you’re sailing on a private yacht.

Attentive Service: The small size of the ship means you get to know the staff  — and, quickly, they learn your favorite drink and how you like your steak. This also is a rare ship with an open-bridge policy, so you can pop in to visit the officers while at sea.

Affluent Couples: Windstar clients are usually pairs of professionals 40 to 70 years old who are well-educated, members of country clubs or art associations, and interested in food and wine.

It’s Oh-So-Quiet: Evenings include a couple of musicians playing, or a private conversation over an al fresco drink. One thing is for sure: You won’t see Blue Man Group on the Star Pride.
