Windstar Cruises has provided deeper insight on upcoming upgrades for Wind Surf. Phase 1 of the extensive renovations will take place next month in Cadiz, Spain. There the five-masted sailing yacht – the world’s largest sailing ship and Windstar’s flagship – will receive a multi-million dollar fit-out that encompasses a full redesign of many public spaces.
The ship will emerge with a fresh look on its Classic Caribbean holiday cruise departing 21 December and ahead of its New Year’s on a Beach Fun & Sun cruise departing 28 December 2024. Following that is a 55-day Grand Caribbean Adventure, from 4 January – 28 February 2025, sailing to 28 Caribbean islands and 39 ports.

The enhancement includes layouts, furniture, wall and floor coverings, lighting, and custom art to name a few, as well as Premium Suite improvements. New technology will be added throughout including new interactive TVs in all guest staterooms.
More specifically, here is the work being carried out:
“Wind Surf has become a beloved choice among our longtime Windstar guests,” says newly promoted Stijn Creupelandt, Chief Operating Officer.
“Many of our guests return each year to sail on this yacht, and we’re thrilled to offer a refreshed atmosphere and updated technology on board to enhance their comfort. I can’t wait to personally welcome our guests during the holiday sailing and celebrate this exciting transformation in a festive setting.”
During phase 2, Wind Surf’s staterooms will receive new furniture, soft goods and décor. The second phase will also see updates to Stella Bistro, Veranda, and the fitness studio. The full project will be completed in December 2026.
All of Windstar’s three Wind Class ships (Wind Surf, Wind Star and Wind Spirit) are undergoing redesigns and updates as part of a multi-year initiative. Wind Star has already completed Phase 1 of improvements, with Phase 2 slated for April 2026. Windstar’s Wind Spirit Phase 1 takes place in April of 2026, with Phase 2 in March 2027.
