Windstar Cruises’ Flagship Sailing Yacht Wind Surf Unveils Redesigned Public Spaces & New Suites

#Traveltradetogether

Windstar’s flagship sailing yacht reveals the first stage of its refurbishment with refreshed public spaces, dining venues, and suites.

Windstar Cruises’ flagship vessel, Wind Surf, has unveiled its latest transformation project focused on the yacht’s common spaces and suites. The upgrades to the 342-guest sailing yacht debuts amidst Wind Surf’s prime Caribbean sailing season, with itineraries including Classic Caribbean and Beach Fun & Sun: A Remote Caribbean Getaway.

Highlights of the renovation include full reimaginations of the main lobby and reception area, Yacht Club Café, Compass Rose Bar and Lounge, Amphora Restaurant and Wine Room, Pool Bar & Deck, Owner’s Suite, Star Boutique and public restrooms, along with new TVs in all guest staterooms.

Wind Surf has always been a guest favourite, and this refurbishment honours its legacy while elevating the onboard experience to new heights,” said Stijn Creupelandt, chief operating officer of Windstar Cruises. “From refreshed design elements to modern technology upgrades, this transformation sets the stage for an unforgettable journey on our flagship sailing yacht.”

Joining Windstar’s all-suite, Star Class yachts, Wind Surf’s refurbishment also features the brand-new addition of Broadmoor and Sea Island Suites, which are inspired by luxury, five star sister resorts The Broadmoor in Colorado and  Sea Island in Georgia. The Sea Island Suite touts coastal and airy touches that evoke the property’s Addison Mizner design, including a sea-glass green colour palette, curved arches, light walls and sophisticated wood furnishings. The Broadmoor Suite boasts a more traditional space with classic furniture, floral motifs, wide crown moulding and white trim with gold finishes, along with striking custom wallpaper, which is an exact replica of the wallpaper used at The Broadmoor Main Building designed by Julie Penrose, wife of resort founder, Spencer Penrose.

During the final phase of the refurbishment, Wind Surf’s staterooms will receive new furniture, soft goods and décor. The second phase will also see updates to Stella Bistro, Veranda and the fitness studio. The full project will be completed in December 2026.

All of Windstar’s three Wind Class sailing ships (Wind Surf, Wind Star, and Wind Spirit) are undergoing redesigns and updates as part of a multi-year initiative. In addition to Wind Surf, Wind Star has already completed phase 1 of improvements with phase 2 slated for April 2026. For Wind Spirit, phase 1 takes place in April 2026 and phase 2 in March 2027.
