Wind Spirit
4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau
Overview
Windstar’s intimate Wind Spirit is one of the most unique cruising vessels you’ll ever see, as she boasts four impressive sailing masts – thus you’ll often hear her referred to as a “sail ship” instead of a cruise ship.
Regardless of what you call her, the Wind Spirit is certainly impressive – as each of her 148 guests will always attest. Her expansive teak decks offer plenty of space to spread out and find your own private alcove, while her onboard watersports platform, pool, hot tub, lounge and casino give you a variety of ways to socialize and meet other guests.
While aboard the Wind Spirit, you can enjoy informative destination briefings and port lectures before venturing out into each unique destination. And when you return, be prepared for an outstanding meal at one of the ships onboard restaurants.

The staff on this ship really spoils you. They would do anything to make your trip the best ever. Embarking and disembarking on a small ship with 140 passengers is so stress free. The other passengers were great and easy to get to know on a small ship. Sorry we didn't take some emails!. The excursions and tour guides were so fantastic giving us a wonderful education. Favorite stop was Kusadasi and Ephesus, Turkey. Dinner there at night was like being on a movie set.
Pros: Small ship, manageable number of passengers. Great excursions and wonderful food and service. Very clean ship.
Cons: Hard to get up early for excursions! Not really a con. It would be nice if breakfast went a little later on days we didn't take an early excursion.

Outstanding food, best crabcakes I ever had and remarkable lunch soups. Small ship size promotes easy interactions between passengers and with ship's staff. However small size also limits evening entertainment programs -- hence best for people loving the sun, sea, and islands excursions.
Pros: personal, friendly atmosphere, with unique team work and client orientation thanks to leadership of first female Captain Belinda
Cons: Because no elevators not suited for passengers with mobility issues.

The ship is a little tired and needs updating but the trip made up for it. Wished we stayed longer in other ports so that we could do more than one excursion and be able to experience more of the islands.
Pros: Ports of call were great. Excursions were fun and well organized.
Cons: Too short.

We just finished a voyage through French Polynesia on the Wind Spirit. The best word I can think of for Tahiti, Mo'orea, Bora Bora, Huahine, and our other stops in the Society Islands is ... enchanting. The Wind Spirit and her crew feel a part of the islands. Beautiful, welcoming, and real. Having sailed with numerous cruise lines over the years, this is it. It is Windstar for us from now on. Wind Spirit is the epitome of casual elegance. The staterooms are comfortable and well appointed. The public spaces are lovely, but not showy or pretentious. We took advantage of the all-in package with drinks and gratuities included, as well as the laundry service. A fantastic value that made our voyage easy and relaxed.
Pros: The casual elegance; the genuine warmth and enthusiasm of the captain and crew; the collegial feeling of being on a small ship and getting to know passengers and crew; the food is fabulous; attention to detail throughout the ship; every need and want seems to be anticipated; from booking to the trip itself, Windstar's communication is warm, friendly, accurate.
Cons: I honestly can't think of any downsides
