The Ultimate Stretch Limo? Windstar Cruises Star Legend is SO much more!
This ship has seen it all - a gloriously luxury life, a starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster AND now like all Hollywood stars, some pretty major mid-life cosmetic surgery. How on earth do you chop a ship in half, add a whole new section and weld it all back together and make it look so good? Well, step aboard Windstar Cruises 'brand new' Star Legend and we'll show you all the new bits, all the bits they kept and, well, just about everything else!

We traveled on the Star Legend when it was owned by Seabourn. It was our favorite ship in their fleet. This redo looks very good. Maybe we will try her again!

I would never even approach Windstar Cruises before, but these small luxurious ships almost feel like classic, vintage ocean liners the way their decks are layered, the real teak wood they're layered with, and the chill but chic atmosphere and services. Now I want ever so to sail aboard one of them.

❤I did seabourn star legend from Athens to Istanbul with my wife 20-25 years ago I believe. It was fabulous then. Excited to return for the transatlantic Lisbon to Miami December 3 to 17, 2022. Thank you. This video was both informative and interesting !

Thanks for the beautiful ship tour. To be honest, I never thought of considering looking at Winstar Cruises for a cruise holiday: being even more frank I just assumed the ships were way too small for us etc. We remember her from her Seabourn days But your tour has really wet my appetite. What a gorgeous looking ship and a perfect size having being stretched that little bit. Very interested now. Thank you.

Thanks for watching David. The guest capacity is now 312 so she’s been expanded well but not too much. Her lengthening also makes her more stable, so less rolling (according to a bridge officer I was talking to). New engines too - smooth as silk. 😍

We went on Windstar Legend in 2015 on their inaugural cruise to the Med. after their acquisition from Seabourn. It was our first cruise ever! My husband and I wanted to go on a smaller ship for our first cruise. It was so wonderful. But I do remember thinking that for our next cruise, I’d love to try something just slightly bigger. And…voilà! The Star fleet is now literally slightly bigger. After watching this video tour, I’d love to try it out again. Things that really stood out for me: in the original, the food choices were not many. I love that they have added more choices with the extension. Also, the pool area was sorely lacking in the old ship. It was tired and dated. I remember the deck teak was scratched and old looking. They have made it new again and added room and amenities to the pool area. I don’t mind that the bar no longer looks over the pool area because it was so small to begin with and it was always full anyway. The new fitness and spa facilities look awesome! They were very tiny and dated before.

Thanks for watching and for your comments. We really hope you get to try the new ‘extended’ ships soon - they really are rather lovely ☺️

Thank you for the tour! We honeymooned on the Seabourne Legend during her final season. We really want to check her out again! Do they still have the best breadsticks? I heard the machine to make them was specifically named in things that remained with her.

We traveled on her when she was owned by Seabourn for many years. This redo is very interesting and because you both have done a lovely job showing her off we must sail on her. Did you find the service and fellow guests agreeable? I'm off to the website.

Thanks Micheal. The service was as good as Seabourn and the fellow guests very friendly. We had a great time and I'm sure you will too! :D
