Stylish upgrades for Windstar fleet

This past December, Wind Surf's staterooms, suites, bridge suites, corridors were renovated as part of Windstar's previously announced $18 million fleet refurbishment plan. The vision for the renovations is classic, stylish yacht luxury that dramatizes Windstar's brand position of a "boutique yacht vacation" that is "180 Degrees from Ordinary." Each yacht will receive new furniture, upholstery, art, lighting, wall coverings, carpeting, ceiling finishes, window treatments, and floor coverings.   New furnishings complete the look in keeping with the chic, private yacht scheme.  The design palette combines sand and marine colors contrasting elegantly with the warmth of wood finishes, elevating the look and feel to stylish luxury at sea.
