Wind Spirit

Wind Spirit offers one of the most distinctive ways to cruise. She’s a true motor-sailing yacht, with four towering masts and six computer-controlled sails. At every departure, the sails unfurl in a choreographed display. Originally launched in 1988, the ship has been updated through Windstar’s ongoing fleet enhancements. She carries just 148 guests across four decks, creating a highly intimate atmosphere. At roughly 5,350 gross tons and 440 feet long, Wind Spirit is built for smaller ports. She can slip into harbors across French Polynesia, the Caribbean, and beyond – often anchoring in bays that larger ships can’t access.

All 74 accommodations are ocean-view cabins, measuring 188 square feet, along with a single 220-square-foot Owner’s Suite. Rooms are thoughtfully equipped with convertible queen beds, flat-screen TVs, Bose SoundDock systems, minibars, and L’Occitane amenities. Dining is relaxed but polished. AmphorA serves seasonal cuisine, while Veranda offers buffet-style breakfast and lunch before transforming into the open-air Candles restaurant at night. The Yacht Club Café adds a more casual option for coffee and light bites. On deck, you’ll find expansive teak spaces, a pool and hot tub, and a cozy Lounge. WindSpa and the watersports platform round out the experience, with kayaks, paddleboards, water skis, and snorkel gear all included.
