Windstar Cruises’ Wind Surf is back on the water with a fresh new look.

The flagship vessel, which can accommodate up to 342 guests, has completed the first stage of its refurbishment, with crews refreshing its public spaces, dining venues and suites. 

The ship is currently sailing in the Caribbean. Guests can enjoy full renovations of the main lobby and reception area, Yacht Club Café, Compass Rose Bar and Lounge, Amphora Restaurant and Wine Room, pool bar and deck, owner’s suite, Star Boutique and public restrooms. All guest staterooms have brand new TVs.

Wind Surf also now has Broadmoor and Sea Island Suites, two luxury suites inspired by Windstar’s sister resorts, The Broadmoor in Colorado and Sea Island in Georgia. Those suites are also offered onboard Windstar’s Star Class yachts

Wind Surf is set to undergo one more phase of refurbishment, with work slated to be finished in December 2026. During that project, crews will add new furniture, soft goods and décor to the ship’s staterooms, and make updates to Stella Bistro, Veranda and the fitness studio. 

“Wind Surf has always been a guest favorite, and this refurbishment honors its legacy while elevating the onboard experience to new heights,” says 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.”
