Star Breeze grew by 20 %
The Seattle-based Windstar on Nov 18, 2020, welcomed the'Star Breeze' back into its fleet after a massive, 13-month-long refurbishmen at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Palermo that included the addition of an entirely new segment of 26 meters length amidships. The section, which made the ship about 20% longer, brought the ship 50 new suites and new restaurants, pool decks, retail spaces and an expansive spa and fitness area. In addition, as part of the project, many of the existing areas of the ship were gutted down to the studs and rebuilt, resulting in a vessel that, in many respects, is almost new. The ship also received new engines as part of the lengthening. The new engines will allow the ship to travel faster than it did before, opening up new itineraries to the line. The 'Star Breeze' currently is scheduled to resume service on March 27, 2021. It had been scheduled to restart cruising sooner but early sailings were canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Windstar Cruises celebrates steel-cutting for ship renovations
Windstar Cruises celebrated the steel-cutting for a renovation project of three of its existing ships on 2 April at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Trieste, Italy. The task comes as part of the line’s US$250 Million Star Plus Initiative to extend Star Breeze, Star Legend and Star Pride by around 25 metres each. Star Breeze will be the first to undergo the renovation in October 2019 and all three are expected to be complete by November 2020. Each ship will be cut in half to allow the installation of a new mid-body section. The enhanced ships will be able to accommodate 100 more passengers and Windstar will hire additional staff to maintain its generous guest-to-staff ratio.
