The multi-year, multi-million dollar initiative got under way on Wednesday (6 December), starting with updates to 148-guest Wind Star’s lobby, lounge and pool deck; a redesign of its main dining room and breakfast restaurant will follow in 2026. 

Meanwhile, sister ship Wind Spirit will be fully remodelled in 2025, while 342-guest Wind Surf’s renovation will be completed in two stages in 2024 and 2026.

The project will involve a full redesign of all public spaces, with new layouts, furniture, wall and floor coverings, as well as lighting and custom art. Guest staterooms, premium suites and owner’s suites will also be fully refurbished with new furniture, interactive televisions and decor.

Jessica Payne, Windstar manager of interior design, said the line’s aim with the renovations would be to evoke "a sense of stepping onto your own private yacht but experiencing the service of a luxury boutique hotel" from the moment guests enter the ship’s lobby.
