Dining options on Wind Star

AmphorA Restaurant

AmphorA Restaurant is the main dining venue on Wind Star and the culinary heart of your cruise. Open in the evenings for multi-course, gourmet dinners, AmphorA serves beautifully crafted dishes inspired by the regions you are sailing through. Menus are elevated yet approachable, with fine ingredients and imaginative flavours presented in a relaxed, open-seating setting. There are no assigned tables, so you can dine when it suits you and share stories with fellow guests or enjoy a quiet meal for two. Attentive crew, polished service and a welcoming atmosphere make AmphorA feel like a favourite restaurant ashore, simply transported to your Wind Star voyage.

Candles Restaurant

On Wind Star, evenings at Candles feel like dining on your own private terrace at sea. By night, the casual Veranda transforms into Candles, an intimate outdoor restaurant where flickering candlelight, sea breezes and starlit skies set the mood. Specialising in perfectly grilled steaks and skewers, Candles pairs simple, high-quality ingredients with relaxed elegance. Reservations are recommended, giving you something to look forward to after a day exploring ashore. It is one of the most beloved experiences on a Windstar cruise, where lingering over dessert feels natural and every meal comes with panoramic ocean views as standard.

Onboard activities and things to do on Wind Star

Signature Sail Away

The Signature Sail Away is one of those “this is why I cruise” moments. As the sails unfurl and the yacht glides away from port, guests gather on the open teak decks to feel the breeze, listen to the music and watch the coastline slip into the distance. It is a ritual unique to Windstar Cruises and a highlight of any Wind Star voyage. With just 148 guests on board, the atmosphere feels more like a private celebration than a typical sail-away party, creating a shared memory that regular Windstar guests treasure and first-timers never forget.

World Spa by Windstar

World Spa by Windstar is your sanctuary between adventures. Fresh from the Wind Class refresh, this serene space has been redesigned to feel calm, contemporary and welcoming, offering a range of treatments inspired by global wellness traditions. After a day of exploring, you can ease tired muscles with a massage, revitalise with a body treatment or simply unwind in peaceful relaxation areas. Combined with the yacht’s fitness centre, pool and hot tub, World Spa by Windstar helps you rebalance body and mind while you sail. It is the perfect complement to Wind Star and her immersive itineraries, ensuring you return home feeling renewed as well as inspired.
