McTavish Travel Windstar Cruises' recent acquisition from Seabourn of the 212-passenger Star Pride is just the start of a major expansion for the cruise line. In 2013, Windstar was ready to expand its fleet for the first time in 16 years and wanted to add motorized yachts that would have more comfort for guests, a higher speed capacity and greater itinerary reach than the company's signature sailing ships. At the same time, Seabourn who launched larger ships in 2009, wanted to make its fleet consistent. Seabourn sold its three smaller ships to Windstar and ordered a new larger vessel - a win-win deal for both cruise lines. The acquisition of the three Seabourn vessels doubles the size of Windstar's fleet. Star Pride, formerly Seabourn Pride launched in May 2014, Star Breeze, which is now sailing as Seabourn Spirit, and Star Legend, now sailing as Seabourn Legend, will set sail under the Windstar banner starting in May 2015. Star Pride has undergone an extensive renovation by the same company that refurbished Windstar's three sailing ships: the 148-passenger Wind Star and Wind Spirit, and the 312-passenger Wind Surf. As a result the décor and approach is consistent across all four vessels. Star Pride features Windstar's hallmark service and its focus on unusual ports of call. Accommodations on Star Pride are larger than on the sailing yachts with standard suites at 277 square feet, featuring sleeping and sitting areas and a coffee table that can be raised for dining in-suite. There are French balconies on 36 suites, and all accommodations have walk-in closets and elegant bathrooms. Private balconies are a feature of the four Owner's Suites (now called Destination Suites), and the two Classic Suites.
