Windstar christens second power yacht

At a May 6 christening ceremony in Nice, France, Windstar Cruises debuted Star Breeze, the second of the fleet’s three new all suite power yachts which set sail on its inaugural voyage through France, Monaco, and Italy.

The 212-passenger yacht joins the fleet after an $8.5 million, three-week renovation in Genoa, Italy, which included overhauls of the ship’s public spaces, dining venues and suites. Wendy Perrin, TripAdvisor's first-ever Travel Advocate and the founder of WendyPerrin.com, was named as godmother of the yacht.

After its inaugural voyage, Star Breeze will continue to cruise in the Mediterranean for the summer season. Following an ocean crossing in the fall, Star Breeze will embark on Windstar’s newest Caribbean itinerary, Icons of the Dutch Caribbean, before continuing on to sail in Panama and Costa Rica for the winter season.
