Star Breeze

Star Breeze

Star Breeze is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbours and hidden coves that others can’t reach.

This all-suite yacht completed renovation as part of the $250 Million Star Plus Initiative to provide more of what our guests love. New public areas, including two new dining venues, a new spa, infinity pool, and fitness area. The yacht also boasts all new bathrooms in every suite and a new category of Star suites, featuring a new layout. With ocean views and at least 277 square feet of comfort, Star Breeze is the perfect yacht to watch glaciers and fjords drift by from the serenity of your suite.

Carrying only 312 guests, Star Breeze still tucks into small ports like Sanary-sur-Mer and Wrangell or narrow waterways like the Corinth Canal and Keil Canal.

Learn more about the newly renovated yacht and the $250 Million Star Plus Initiative.

We can’t wait to welcome you on board for your next 180 degrees from ordinary adventure!

Ship Reviews

As someone who had never been on a cruise and was initially skeptical about what to expect, I was in absolute awe of the attentiveness and detail that went into creating one of the best experiences of my life (right behind the birth of my children, of course). Windstar Cruises now ranks up there, with incredible Michelin-star-worthy food at Cuadro 44. In the kitchen, I had the pleasure of watching Iqbal, Alvin, and Christian work swiftly and efficiently to create dishes that absolutely delighted my taste buds. Iqbal went above and beyond, preparing a special dish for us after we raved about the food, and it’s something I still think about to this day. The service at Windstar truly stood out. From Ana delivering local treats and organizing our room before we even returned from breakfast, to Katrina and John, who always ensured a clean setting and reserved our favorite seats, every detail was meticulously managed. I can’t thank the staff enough for making the Windstar experience one of a kind. From the moment I stepped onboard, I felt like the only guest, and the crew knew my name, which heightened my sense of importance. Captain Roman, Hotel Manager Richard, and Excursions Manager Gonzalo were incredibly involved, interacting with guests every day to ensure everything ran smoothly. If you sail with Windstar, the excursions are a must. The guides immerse you in the culture and give you an authentic experience of what each island has to offer. Not only did I have the unforgettable experience of seeing a baby whale swim up to me in Tahiti, but I also got engaged to the love of my life! The entire Windstar crew helped orchestrate a perfect proposal on the beach at sunset, complete with a private candlelit dinner. I’ll treasure these pictures forever, but what I’ll remember most is how many people went out of their way to make the day so special. This is exactly what you get with Windstar: a crew that goes beyond their duties to ensure your experience is tailor-made. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Windstar—I’ll be back!

This is our third experience with Windstar but it certainly will not be our last. An absolutely amazing trip. Tahiti, Bora Bora and the rest of the French Polynesian islands have always been a bucket list trip for my wife and I. In early December our travel agent let us know that Windstar was offering a last minute deal for their 7 night trip on the Star Breeze. After checking the prices of airfares (which were less than we expected) we jumped at the opportunity to spend Christmas week in paradise. The first thing that should be mentioned is the amazing service that we received on board. Within a day several members of the crew recognized us not only by name, but also by what we loved to eat and drink. We have been on over 25 cruises and our cabin steward, by far and away, was the best that we ever had. The second thing that should be mentioned is the food. You would expect that dining on a cruise ship would have its good meals and its so-so meals. With the exception of one meal, every other experience was first rate. There are large selections at all meals and the dinners were delightful. For our Tahiti tour the ship's famous included shore excursion was a luau dinner and dancing / fire show on a private island one evening. This included a private prior guest cocktail party followed by a tremendous buffet and dinner show. This was not some run of the mill buffet - it included lobster tails, ribs, steaks and all varieties of salads and side dishes. Now for the ship itself. The Star Breeze may not be the newest, most modern ship afloat. It doesn't matter. With a maximum number of guests at 312 (our trip only had about 210 aboard) and 195 crew - it never felt crowded, there were never any lines and deck chairs were always available. We had a large picture window on deck 5. Did we miss having a balcony? Maybe a little bit. But a quick walk up 2 flights of stairs put us out in the fresh air. The cabin was huge, with plenty of storage. Now for the caveats. If you are a party animal, casino addict or require a lot of evening activities to keep you entertained, then the Star Breeze probably is not for you. There isn't a casino onboard and the entertainment at night is limited to a small band and two Polynesia singers / dancers. There is Karaoke one night and a staff talent show another night. In conclusion - a trip to Tahiti aboard the Star Breeze is a fantasy trip come to life. We highly recommend it.

We are not experienced cruisers. We had done 1 Royal Caribbean Cruise with our family and this was our first cruise as a couple. From booking to disembarking we had a wonderful experience. We booked booked the room with the picture window and were glad we didn't take the balcony room. The balcony are Juliet balconies and we were told this in advance when booking. We did not think the premium price made it worthwhile for us. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The bathroom was excellent including the amenities. The crew was outstanding. Absolutely everyone was cheerful, friendly, and helpful. We regularly saw the captain and he chatted with guests. We thought the open bridge policy was great. We didn't expect much from the entertainment being this was a small ship. We were pleasantly surprised at how much was offered and the quality. By no means the level of the big ships, the music and activities were personal, interesting and fun. We participated in lectures, talks, music and a couple of games. My disappointment was that there were often 2 things happening at once that I was interested in so I had to choose. This is a good thing! Food- we did not have a single disappointment when it came to the food. On two occasions servers suggested that our choice of the evening (1 a main and 1 a dessert) was not 'the best' and while we could have ordered it, took heed and ordered an alternative. We loved the different restaurants and did try them all. The Yacht Club was a pleasant surprise with a lovely light food selection and coffee all day. The bars were excellent and it was incredible that the bar staff called you by name and often remembered your favourite drinks. The drinks were very good. Excursions. We learned to book excursions early as they fill up. You can cancel up to 24 hours ahead so not a risk. We booked excursions at every port but were wait-listed for 2. On arrival we had been cleared for one of the tours and we were able to book an alternative for that day. We were also able to switch tours as we realized two were quite similar. It literally took less than 5 minutes and our account was credited and debited seamlessly. We can't say enough about how excellent the excursions were. They far exceeded expectations, were often very small groups, never rushed or crowded, and timing allowed for 2 a day which we did on occasion. The part of the ship we enjoyed the most was the marina. The back of the ship opened up while at anchor and there were opportunities to swim, kayak, and paddle board. The floating loungers were a wonderful way to take in the sun and sea. Note that there was no alcohol down at the marina which made sense. The hot tubs are very small but surprisingly available. We had the one on the front of the ship to ourselves one day. Was like being on a private yacht. This is not a party boat but people have a really good time. There may have been a couple of 30 year Olds (there was 1 wedding party) but most guests are well-travelled, active, and over age 50. Our experience was a wonderful way to celebrate our honeymoon.

It was our first cruise on Windstar but 22nd cruise overall. We thought that the staff on this cruise were the best ever. They were kind, cheerful, and very efficient. You could tell that they had very good training, but also good support from management. We absolutely loved our cabin steward, Lutfi. So kind when I was down with motion sickness. Restaurant staff were great- always remembered drinks and our names. Shelley and Alla were so nice to us in the Yacht Club for cappuccinos every morning. Firman, Ahdi, Achmat, Rina, Rini, and everyone else so helpful, and cheerful. The lovely cappuccino barista in the Verandah was so nice, and made a great coffee. In addition to the wonderful staff, we loved our suite. It was big enough that we could relax and read a book, or have a meal comfortably. Room service was very good- food was hot, prompt, and the menu was quite extensive.. in the evenings you can even order from the Amphora Dining room menu! I loved that you could order warm popcorn. No charge for room service! Food was good to very good. Lunch and breakfast were buffet, with a small menu to order from. We over the smash burger, available to order from the buffet, room service or the Star grill. We loved it when the marina was open to swim off the boat. It was closed to the open ocean a few times because of very strong current, and once because we had sharks circling in Huahine! The only thing I didn’t love were the two sea days. I knew I wouldn’t because of my motion sickness, so came prepared to spend the days in the cabin with medication. The staff all asked after me, and sent crackers, and sliced green apples to the room. Lutfi kept checking in with ginger ale for me. The fact that it was a smaller ship did worsen the amount of movement with the waves compared to the larger cruise ships. We loved the smaller boat otherwise. There was never more than a few minute wait at the dining room. Every place was a quick walk to and from. The other great thing was the efficiency of embarkation, disembarkation, and tendering on and off of the ship. We never waited more than about 15 minutes for anything. Overall, probably our best cruise ever. A nice balance of just informal enough, yet still really nice in comparison with Seabourn, Oceania, etc. We would cruise with Windstar again anytime!

Entertainment

A day on board your Windstar ship is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a relaxing massage in World Spa by Windstar. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the Fitness Center. Even better, why not both? After a sumptuous lunch in Veranda, make a splash from the Watersports Platform off the ship’s stern. Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there — swimming, kayaking, sail-boarding, even water skiing. And it’s all complimentary, of course. Sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email ororder a cheese plate for your stateroom or suite. After dinner, dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you’re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you.

As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like — on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully.
