Frequently Asked Questions
No. A daily service charge is posted automatically to your onboard account, per person per night, and another is added to bar purchases. The daily charge stays adjustable at the guest services desk, but you have to ask: it does not come off by itself.
No, they are charged as you drink, with a service charge added. That is the costliest difference between this line and a genuinely all-inclusive one, and it is also what the optional package is there to settle.
No, it is charged, unless you take the optional package that includes it. On a ship this size the satellite link is also more modest than on a large vessel: do not plan to work on board without checking first.
No, and it is the one item even the optional package does not cover. Excursions are charged in every case. Ask for the list and the detail before you leave: it is easier to weigh at home than at the counter on the first evening.
The All-In package bundles drinks, Wi-Fi and the daily service charge. It is bought before departure, not at the last minute on board, and it never covers excursions. Work it out against what you actually drink: for a light drinker it is not automatically worth it.
It depends entirely on the ship, and it is the most important thing to check in this fleet. The three sailing ships, the Wind Star, Wind Spirit and Wind Surf, have no lift and offer no adapted cabin. The three yachts, the Star Pride, Star Breeze and Star Legend, have a lift and advertise modified-accessible cabins.
With Windstar Cruises Marshall Islands, a Marshall Islands company whose principal office is in Miami. The general maritime law of the United States applies, and where it does not, Florida law. Personal injury goes to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, in Miami.
Yes, and it should be read before signing. Every claim other than personal injury or death is sent to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in Miami. The contract also imposes a class-action waiver: you claim in your individual capacity.
They differ by claim type. Six months' written notice and one year to sue, for personal injury, illness or death. For everything else, ninety days' notice after the cruise ends and six months to start arbitration. Write the disembarkation date down somewhere.
Nothing establishes a Quebec licence for this carrier. Your protection comes from here: Voyages AquaTerra holds a licence from the Office de la protection du consommateur, your payments pass through a trust account, and your departure is covered by the compensation fund for travel agency customers.
No, and the contract says so in plain words: the carrier does not guarantee the itinerary. It may delay, change or cancel, and substitute the ship or the form of transport. On a sailing ship the weather weighs in as well: a call can be dropped because the anchorage will not hold.
From Seabourn. She was born the Seabourn Pride in 1988 at a German yard, christened that November by Shirley Temple Black. Windstar bought her in 2013 and put her into service under its own colours on 5 May 2014.
Yes, cut in half. In October 2021, at Fincantieri in Palermo, a new twenty-five-and-a-half-metre section was inserted amidships, with fifty more cabins, two restaurants, a spa and an infinity pool. The seven original engines were replaced by four new units.
Two are on the record. On 22 December 2015 she struck a reef off Panama; guests and crew spent more than fifteen hours on Coiba Island, and she did not return to service until 9 June 2016. On 7 September 2018 she lost electrical power in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, after an engine cooling failure.
Three hundred and twelve since the lengthening, against two hundred and eight before. That is the same capacity as her two sisters, transformed the same way. A ship this size remains very small by industry standards.
