About Wind Spirit
Wind Spirit is a four-masted motor-sailing yacht for 148 guests, built at Le Havre and in service with Windstar since 1988 as the third of the line's original sail-equipped sisters. Like Wind Star she carries computer-controlled sails, and Windstar counts her among its three Wind Class ships. The first phase of her Setting Sails redesign was carried out in April 2025, and the second is scheduled for March 2027. Her published schedule is entirely in the Mediterranean, mostly week-long voyages from Rome (Civitavecchia) and Venice, with late-autumn sailings to the Canary Islands and Madeira from Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
