Exploring Asia with Windstar

A Star Performance

Cruise line reputations are generally established on a wide range of subjective criteria: culinary creativity, elegant luxury, superior service, engaging itineraries, topnotch entertainment, and high tech vessels. While every brand is quick to expound on specific hallmark qualities, Windstar Cruises competently ticks multiple boxes, resulting in a remarkable all encompassing profile.

MEET THE LEGEND

Every requisite component of premium brand standards is met head on with the graceful 212-passenger Star Legend. The sleek, yacht-like exterior veneer wraps around an interior that forsakes glitz and glamor in favor of refined sophistication. Sumptuous accommodations follow suit with posh accoutrements and amenities – an escape into a blissful haven of comfort and relaxation. The muted palette of warm colors perfectly captures the essence of subtle elegance and striking panache, intertwined with a free-spirited casualness.

Venue choices for dining, augmented by an open seating concept, complement the regionally inspired cuisine entrees. The AmphorA Restaurant integrates exceptional service and upscale menu presentations, while Candles, a steakhouse and seafood emporium on an open-air veranda, exudes a more romantic environment. The casual, al fresco burger bar and grill, adjacent to the pool and hot tub area, caters to those hankering for comfort food. An innovative option towards a personalized dining experience is available by enjoying a three-course dinner served in your suite, or alternatively the 24-hour room service.

Coupled with the yacht’s remarkable amenities is a tour de force of energizing itineraries. The loyalty of Windstar’s devout clientele stems from the presence of the company’s six yachts deployed in exotic destinations around the world. While Star Legend sails an annual globetrotting schedule, our Far East odyssey sailed through China and Japan.
