Windstar’s Wind Surf set for major renovations

Wind Surf, one of the world’s largest sailing ships and the flagship of small ship cruise line Windstar Cruises, is preparing for Phase 1 of extensive renovations taking place in Cadiz, Spain this November.

The five-masted sailing yacht will emerge with a fresh look on its Classic Caribbean holiday cruise departing Dec. 21 and just in time to celebrate New Year’s on a Beach Fun & Sun cruise departing Dec. 28, 2024.

Sunseekers can also still book a stateroom for the ship’s Grand Caribbean Adventure, a 55-day cruise from Jan. 4 to Feb. 28, 2025, sailing to 28 Caribbean islands and 39 ports.

The multi-million-dollar project encompasses a full redesign of many public spaces with new layouts, furniture, wall and floor coverings, lighting, and custom art to name a few, as well as Premium Suite improvements. New technology will be added throughout including new interactive TVs in all guest staterooms.

Chief Operating Officer Stijn Creupelandt said: “Wind Surf has become a beloved choice among our longtime Windstar guests. Many of our guests return each year to sail on this yacht, and we’re thrilled to offer a refreshed atmosphere and updated technology on board to enhance their comfort. I can’t wait to personally welcome our guests during the holiday sailing and celebrate this exciting transformation in a festive setting.”
