Star Pride offers a refined small ship luxury cruise experience with the comfort of an all-suite, suite-focused yacht and the intimate atmosphere that makes Windstar so distinctive. Carrying just 312 guests, she is spacious enough to offer enhanced amenities and personalized service, yet small enough to slip into charming harbors and scenic waterways that larger ships often cannot reach. As part of Windstar’s $250 million Star Plus Initiative, Star Pride was transformed with upgraded public spaces, new dining venues, a new spa, infinity pool, fitness area, and refreshed suites. With generous accommodations and a relaxed, upscale onboard feel, Star Pride is ideal for travelers seeking an immersive cruise experience with the elegance and charm of a boutique yacht.
