Editorial Summary

Gary Benridge provides a comprehensive tour of the Windstar Star Pride, a yacht style ship that accommodates just over 200 guests and 150 crew members. Originally launched as a Seaborn ship nearly 30 years ago, the vessel was acquired by Windstar in 2014. The tour begins at the center of the ship, highlighting the circular staircase, reception area, and the lounge used for nightly presentations and musical entertainment. The creator explores the upper levels, noting the open decks which feature a small pool, a hot tub, and the popular Star Bar. He also showcases the Yacht Club, a space offering views of the bow, a coffee shop, and a place to view photographs. On the lower levels, the tour covers the Compass Rose lounge, a small casino, a library with a DVD collection, and an onboard shop. Dining options are detailed, including the Amora restaurant for breakfast and lunch, and the specialty seafood and steak restaurant, Candles. The video concludes with a look at the spa, fitness center, the water sports deck at the back of the ship, and the large cabin accommodations.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the star Pride was originally launched and it's hard to believe almost 30 years ago as a Seaborn ship and in 2014 it got bought by WinStar and turned into a Windstar yacht

the real heart of the ship is the circular staircase which is on one level where you have your reception area you have the sh excursions desk

it's a beautiful space it uh is really nicely done on three sides you have fantastic views across to the bow of the ship

the Amora restaurant if you are on a colder climate Cruise will be the main restaurant for both breakfast lunch and dinner
