Some people love the bustle of giant cruise ships that hold thousands of passengers and are chock full of eateries, nightspots and deck-top fun zones. Others are looking for a more intimate cruise experience.
Our latest Cruise Ship Tour, in the carousel above, looks at a vessel that clearly will appeal to those in the latter category: Windstar Cruises’ 212-passenger Star Pride.
At 9,975 tons, the all-suite ship is one-twentieth the size of the latest Royal Caribbean vessels. And as can be seen in the tour, it offers an unusually intimate and uncrowded environment for an exploration by sea.
Originally built in 1988 for luxury line Seabourn, Star Pride is large enough to offer a choice of two restaurants, several lounges and bars, a fitness center, spa and even a small casino. But it’s small enough to tuck into tiny harbors and hidden coves that bigger ships can’t reach. Personal service is the rule of the day. You’ll never find a line.
