McTavish Travel Windstar Cruises' latest acquisition, the 9,975-gross ton, 212-guest Star Breeze was christened in Nice, France and is now in service. The 1989-built ship, which originally sailed for Seabourn Cruises as the Seabourn Spirit, has emerged from an $8.5 million refit that included all new soft fittings in its suites and public areas, expanded outdoor seating in its Veranda restaurant, expanded outdoor decking on Star Deck, and added the Star Screening Room. The second of three former Seabourn ships to join the Windstar fleet, the Star Breeze follows last year's addition of the Star Pride (the former Seabourn Pride) and will be followed next month by the Star Legend (the former Seabourn Legend). The expansion doubles the size of Windstar's fleet from three deluxe, sailaugmented cruise ships to six vessels.
