Fine dining has always been a pillar of the Windstar experience. As the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation featuring locally inspired cuisine, developed by a list of culinary all-stars using new flavours and fresh ingredients.
Basil + Bamboo
Step into Basil + Bamboo, where clean lines and warm accents set the stage for a relaxed, refined experience. Savor dishes that fuse Asian influences with a Mediterranean twist — an inventive culinary adventure designed to delight your palate and create moments of shared discovery.
Amphora
Amphora presents a contemporary, international menu and fresh local dishes.
Yacht Club
A pleasant lounge and all-day coffee bar, which is the perfect place to relax with new friends and enjoy the 270 degree views from atop the ship.
Star Grill
You’ll find all your traditional grilled and barbecued favorites (and discover new dishes from around the world) in our casual outdoor restaurant.
Complimentary Room Service
24-hour room service menu for in-room dining features coursed menu from the main Amphora dining room during dining hours.
A day on board your Windstar ship is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a relaxing massage in World Spa by Windstar. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the Fitness Center. Even better, why not both? After a sumptuous lunch in Veranda, make a splash from the Marina off the ship’s stern. Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there — swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. And it’s all complimentary, of course. Sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email or order a cheese plate for your stateroom or suite. After dinner, dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you’re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you.
As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like — on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully.
Lounge
The Lounge can be found on Deck 8
Open Bridge
Guests can talk with the Captain and officers on watch, view the navigational charts with the crew and enjoy one of the best views on the ship.
Star Boutique
Visit our newly transformed specialty shopping boutique, Star Boutique, rolling out fleet-wide through early 2022. The new shop features quality brand-name and exclusive Star Collection merchandise, from clothing and fragrances to jewellery and accessories, all at duty free or special pricing.
