Windstar's unique concept of sailing has lead the cruise industry in the
luxury small ship category. In late 1986, the first commercial sailing
vessel built in 60 years slipped out of a French dry-dock in Le Havre to
become the first of the three original Wind Star ships. The ships are
officially motor-sail-yachts (msy), but the designation belies the
vessels unique rigging system, with its sleek lines and computerized
controls are both revolutionary in concept and design. Windstar pioneered and refined the casual attire and
alternative dining arenas concepts which have earned Windstar an
excellent reputation and market niche, winning the allegiance of a new
generation of contemporary cruise vacationers. An attentive service staff,
intimate surroundings, eclectic artwork, exceptional signature cuisine
featuring both light and vegetarian menu selections, and an extensive wine
list are some of the extraordinary elements which have become synonymous
with Windstar. |
