Open Bridge tradition

?Although Windstar Cruises? heritage is tied to sailing, because their modern tall ships have computer-controlled sails that augment the motor propulsion, overall their intimate yacht style of cruising is really what Windstar Cruises is known for. ?The addition of these three all-suite ?power yachts? will be the first in Windstar?s fleet that don?t have sails, but fit in well with the intimate cruising style. The Star Pride, along with her sister power yachts each have a capacity of accommodating 212 guests in 106 suites and are 400 feet long with six passenger decks. Each will undergo Windstar branded renovations, showcasing many of Windstar?s experiences ? the line?s open bridge policy as well as their famous Yacht Deck Barbeque Gala and celebratory sail away party are a few.

?Launch of ?Global Windstar? and New itineraries

When Windstar Cruises begins adding these new ships, they?ll be marketing themselves as ?Global Windstar.? Being able to expand to other regions and areas of the world by expanding their fleet allows Windstar to offer new itineraries and destinations.

?Starting spring 2014, the Star Pride will spend its first season in Europe, with four exclusive European voyages. The new ?Black Sea Tapestry? voyage is one Windstar is offering for the first time, and lets guests enjoy the hidden wonders of Europe?s Black Sea.? ?Pride of the Aegean? lets guests explore the breath of the Aegean Sea from the southernmost tip of Crete to Istanbul. And ?Riviera Enchantment? takes guests to some of the world?s most glamorous ports along the French Riviera. With? ?Venetian Passageways? guests have a chance to uncover the wonders of Venice and then through the Corinth Canal to the ancient oracle of Delphi as well as on to the majestic fjords of Montenegro.

Another new itinerary? In 2014 Windstar will be offering a ?Sicilian Splendors? voyage. This ten day sailing roundtrip from Rome, Italy includes visits to five new ports.

Besides some new itineraries, the Star Pride will also be offering many Windstar favorites.
