Wind Spirit will be fully remodelled and complete her renovations in 2025, while Wind Surf’s refurb will be in two phases – 2024 and 2026.

The project encompasses a full redesign of all public spaces with new layouts, furniture, wall and floor coverings, lighting and custom art.

Guest staterooms, Premium Suites and Owner’s Suites will be fully refurbished including new furniture, interactive televisions and décor.

Windstar Cruises Vice President of Hotel Operations & Product Development Stijn Creupelandt said: “This multi-year, multi-million-dollar initiative is all about providing guests with updated spaces that inspire relaxation, foster connection and offer multifunctional needs of an intimate-sized sailing yacht.”

“Spending time on our yachts is all about moments of connection, whether that be guest to guest or guest to crew, and we want to make sure our spaces reflect that desire.”
