Windstar Cruises History
Founded by New York-based Karl Andren in 1984 as Windstar Sail Cruises, the company built high-class sail-cruise ships with computer-controlled sails, outfitting them in a contemporary decor. The first ship, Wind Star, debuted in 1986 to much acclaim, and was followed by Wind Spirit (1988) and Wind Surf (1990).
Windstar Cruises was sold to Holland America Line in 1988. The company, with headquarters in Seattle, USA, was sold again in 2007 to the Ambassadors Cruise Group, wholly owned by Ambassadors International.

GENERAL ORGANISATION
We travelled to Dubai and
after a bit of a wait at
the airport was taken to
the Hyatt...
Had an easy transfer from
the Club Majic Life in
Sharm then went on Red
Sea Magic returning 2
February. The weather was
not good, very cold winds
and dust storms. However,
the crew and the
entertainment staff
worked their socks off to
find alternative things...
We have done o ver 20
cruises our first with
NCL was by far the worst.
The ship is clean, the
staff excellent and the
cabins good They are
also fanatical about the
hand cleansing whish is a
good thing but that is
where it ends...
This year we decided to
sail on the Azura, we
have sailed with P&O
the last 7 years in Jan
0r Feb to the Caribbean.
The charm of the
Caribbean can not be
overstated, the people,
weather and cost is well
worth the price of the
holiday...
Once we had booked our
cruise we started to read
some very negative
reviews for MSC Poesia,
people not happy with the
food; service; etc....our
advice is do not be put

the best cruises and for
a great price...
Decided to go away for
Christmas so tried the
Arcadia, we enjoyed the
trip very much, good
comments first..good
cabin, outside,
G1,location next to the
Palladium near lifts most
satisfactiory, vgood

This was our second
cruise on Victoria this
year, so you can see we
like it! We flew to L.A.
and picked up the ship
the following day, and
off to Hawaii, where we
had last visited several
years ago.
The ship is elegant and
comfortable, with all the
Cunard...
