Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Wind-Spirit

On June 1, 2019, the luxury cruise ship "Wind Spirit" encountered a mishap while attempting to dock at the Uturoa wharf in Raiatea, French Polynesia. In the early morning hours, the vessel suffered an engine failure while reversing, prompting the crew to deploy its two bow anchors. However, despite these measures, the stern of the ship collided with a nearby sailboat moored at the Shell station. The catamaran, owned by Dream Yacht Charter, sustained significant damage on its port side due to the impact. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries among those on board either vessel, and the "Wind Spirit" emerged from the incident without any notable damage.

Windstar Cruises proudly announces the successful conclusion of its extensive $18 million fleet renovation, marked by the completion of the drydock work on Wind Spirit on December 22. This ambitious project, which commenced in December 2011, saw all three of Windstar's sailing yachts undergo an extensive makeover from bow to stern. The renovation focused on enhancing public areas, dining facilities, staterooms, and suites, and even included the replacement of the sails. The 148-passenger Wind Spirit, the final yacht to receive upgrades, was treated to a comprehensive overhaul throughout its month-long renovation. Guests can now enjoy new furnishings, modern upholstery, captivating art, improved lighting, refreshed wall coverings, sleek carpeting, updated ceiling finishes, stylish window treatments, and contemporary floor coverings. Maintaining a cohesive design, the updated aesthetic features a soothing palette of sand and marine colors that beautifully contrasts with rich wood finishes, creating an inviting atmosphere onboard. Windstar Cruises is excited to welcome guests to experience the revitalized yachts in the fleet.
