Windstar Cruises has unveiled its latest transformation project, which focused on Wind Surf’s common spaces and suites. The upgrades to the 342-guest sailing yacht debut amidst its current Caribbean sailing season.

Highlights of the renovation include full reimaginations to the main lobby and reception area, Yacht Club Café, Compass Rose Bar and Lounge, Amphora Restaurant and Wine Room, the pool bar and deck, Owner’s Suite, the shop, and public restrooms, along with new TVs in all guest staterooms.

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

Wind Surf’s refurbishment also features the brand-new addition of Broadmoor and Sea Island Suites, which are inspired by five-star sister resorts The Broadmoor in Colorado and Sea Island in Georgia. 

During the final phase of the refurbishment, Wind Surf’s staterooms will receive new furniture, soft goods and décor. The second phase will also see updates to Stella Bistro, Veranda, and the fitness studio. The full project will be completed in December 2026. 

All of Windstar’s three Wind Class sailing ships are undergoing redesigns and updates as part of a multi-year initiative. In addition to Wind Surf, Wind Star has already completed phase one of improvements with phase two slated for April 2026. For Wind Spirit, phase one takes place in April of 2026 and phase two in March 2027.
