Star Grill by Steven Raichlen
The transformation is not about getting bigger, it’s about offering our guests more of what they love about Windstar. Each yacht now serves 312 guests total which nearly matches the capacity for Wind Surf. The additional capacity keeps us squarely in the under 350 category. We will continue to offer the world’s best private yacht style cruising experience but with more amenities that our guests have been asking us for like additional dining venues and a world-class Spa and Fitness Center. We have made these improvements to ensure these beloved yachts may continue to operate well into the future. This re-imaging has taken the former Star Class yachts to the next level, deserving of the new title of Star Plus Class.

Sightsee While
You Relax
Build a few water slides? Or offer regionally inspired spa treatments with glacial mud body wraps and basalt stone massages? The choice was easy. This is a new level of exploring while relaxing in the World Spa by Windstar.
Same Small Ship Advantage
Can you still explore the smaller ports that bigger ships can’t reach? You bet the steeples of Sanary-sur-Mer and the sand on Isla Parida.

The most inventive, modern grill at sea. You can tell a lot about a culture by the way it grills. You’ll find all your traditional grilled and barbecued favorites (and discover new dishes from around the globe) at Star Grill by Steven Raichlen — our upcoming casual outdoor restaurant brought to you in partnership with the man who reinvented barbecue.
For Raichlen, a multi-award-winning writer, lecturer and international TV host, barbecue isn’t a pastime, it’s a calling. The founder of Barbecue University and Barbecue Hall of Famer hosts the popular Project Fire and Project Smoke shows on Public Television. His 31 books — many of them New York Times bestsellers — have won five James Beard Awards and three IACP / Julia Child Awards and have been translated into 17 languages.
Soon you can taste for yourself where Raichlen’s curiosity for world barbecue takes him. Just steps away from the popular Star Bar, the Star Grill by Steven Raichlen offers alfresco dining with seating for 95 on the top deck to take in the ocean breeze and views. Experience traditional and world barbecue with a modern twist, from maple sriracha chicken wings to Danish smoked shrimp, from Hill Country brisket to lemongrass pork — or on sea days, enjoy a mid-morning Frühschoppen with artisanal grilled sausage and pretzel rolls. Served with a sea view!

Anthony Sasso on CBS This Morning
"I've spent a lifetime studying Spanish food and culture, working in several Catalan kitchens, traveling the Iberian landscape, and learning from the masters: Adria, Roca, Ruscelada, Santimaria, Dali, Picasso, Miro! It's led to some of the most acclaimed and recognized Spanish food in America. This new venture with Windstar will be the perfect vehicle to transport all of those flavors back to the sea where they were born and I'm extrememly excited in going along for the ride, back to where it all started."
CHEF ANTHONY SASSO
Anthony spent time in Spain’s Costa Brava at renowned restaurant El Celler de Can Rocca before becoming head chef at Casa Mono where he earned the restaurant a Michelin star 10 individual times. A James Beard Foundation-recognized chef, he hosted Windstar’s James Beard Foundation: Spanish Symphony culinary cruise in summer 2018
"The design for Cuadro 44 by Anthony Sasso draws from the various regions of Spain, recalling the warm feeling of a rustic home. The residential scale combined with soft, indirect lighting creates an intimate atmosphere where guests feel surrounded by the sights, smells, and tastes of Spain. A cozy chef's counter lets diners experience the cooking up close, viewing into an open kitchen. Handcrafted details and colorful, intricate patterns provide a richness reminiscent of Andalusia, and playful accents on the walls and in the furniture capture the whimsy of Barcelona."

Seating Worth
Savoring
As always, enjoy open seating at all of our dining venues, but with more ocean-view seats, comfy outdoor furniture, and dining room upgrades, we think you’ll like your options even more.
Feed Your
Curiosity
We've taken beloved favorites and made them even better. Amphora has been relocated to allow for more light to filter into the dining room at sunset and views of the sea. Veranda now offers an expanded buffet and additional seating. It's just a taste of what's to come.
Same Small Ship Advantage
We’re maintaining our guest to crew ratio of 1.5:1, so we’ll still be there with what you need before you know you need it. Our crew can’t wait to welcome you aboard the newly transformed all-suite Star Plus Class yachts.
