The largest ship in the Windstar fleet, the Wind Surf is a five-masted motor-sail yacht that accommodates 312 guests on itineraries to exotic locales. The ship is known for a casually elegant environment that’s never regimented, with such highlights as an open-air sports platform equipped with sailboards, snorkeling gear, water skis, sailboats and kayaks. The library has a large collection of books, CDs and DVDs, and the bridge is open to passengers who'd like to chat with officers and learn how the computer-operated sails work. The Yacht Club is the ship’s “living room” decorated with intimate groupings of comfy couches and chairs, perfect for reading, catching up on news or enjoying good conversation with friends. The Wind Surf is also equipped with two pools, two hot tubs, a fitness center, salon and art gallery. Breakfast and lunch are served alfresco in The Veranda on the top deck, while dinner is served in three separate dining venues, each featuring a slightly different atmosphere and cuisine. The Restaurant, the ship’s main dining room, serves an innovative menu of gourmet specialties, and as a wonderful alternative, Degrees prepares mouthwatering steaks and Northern Italian, French and Indonesian cuisine. Candles, the ship’s outdoor restaurant, has a menu of various steaks and skewers, all served with a delectable selection of sauces. Popular after-dinner gathering spots include the casino, Wind Surf Lounge and the Compass Rose Piano Bar. All cabins have ocean views, and the suites feature a living/dining area and his-and-her bathrooms. The Wind Surf also offers spa suite accommodations, which feature special bedding and linens, spa amenities, and credits for certified organic spa services and fitness classes in WindSpa.
