Windstar Cruises' 148-guest Wind Star is the last of three ships to complete the Degrees of Difference multi-million dollar initiative to enhance the line's fleet of motor sailing yachts.
Upgrades include remodeled bathrooms in all staterooms, an expanded beauty salon and a refurbished lounge. Stateroom bathrooms now have a more contemporary look with new fixtures, open glass shelves, new cabinets, granite countertops, porcelain sinks, and a magnifying mirror.
Teak floors were refinished to retain the nautical style. Full-length mirrors and slippers were added in staterooms. In the Lounge, the bar was relocated to a central location near the back of the room and refreshed with reupholstered furniture, new carpet, ceiling, lighting, and wall coverings.
The Salon moved from Deck 1 to Deck 3 by the Lounge. Expanding into the area vacated by the bar, the salon space doubles in size with a new waiting area, two massage rooms, an area for facials and hair/nail treatments, and a pedicure chair. The number of massage appointments available for guests has doubled and new spa treatments have been added including La Therapie Hydralift Facial, Elemis Aroma Spa Seaweed Massage, and Ionithermie Cellulite Reduction Program.
Other additions include new tables and chairs in the Veranda, a new couch and ceiling in the Lobby and upgrades to public bathrooms. The Pool Bar got a new bottle display area, new lighting, and new wall and ceiling coverings. Upgrades were also completed for the technical operations of the ship.
The four-masted Wind Star will sail roundtrip from Costa Rica January through March with a limited amount of Panama Canal cruises in the spring and winter, returning to the Greek Isles from May to October and offering a few Mediterranean itineraries in late spring and late fall.
The 312-guest Wind Surf completed Degrees of Difference upgrades in December 2006 and the 148-guest Wind Spirit completed upgrades in April 2007.
