Wind Star Cruises sleek masted sailing ships with computer-directed sails, offer the perfect balance of sophisticated pampering, exceptional service, luxurious amenities amidst an oh-so-casual atmosphere. Wind Spirit, Wind Star and Wind Surf carry between 148 and 308 passengers, in spacious modern staterooms and suites. Passenger to crew ratios are a very high 1.5 to 1, and the superb level personalized service is the result. Passengers tend to be somewhat younger and more highly educated than on most cruises because of the unusual ports and variety of hard and soft adventure. "Casual Elegance" is the designated dress code. Guests leave their ties and formal wear at home in favor of country club casual sportwear. There are few organized activities and none of the typical cruise line Vegas-style reviews. Passengers linger over dinner sampling delicious entrees developed by renowned chef Joachim Splichal of L.A.'s Patina, Pinot Bistro and Octavio Becerra; Sail Light and Vegetarian meals were designed by health guru Jeanne Jones, developer of spa menus for Canyon Ranch spa and the Pritikin Longevity Center. Windstar, once a four ship fleet, now has just three; it lost Wind Song to a devastating fire in 2002. There's been good news, however, for the remaining three vessels, which comprise the industry's oldest fleet (average age: 15 years). In late 2003, Windstar invested $6.5 million on upgrades both cosmetic and mechanical.
