Windstar Cruises Announces Major Expansion

Windstar Cruises and parent company Holland America Line announced earlier this month a multi-million dollar Degrees of Difference initiative to enhance the line´s three-ship fleet of motor sailing yachts.

Work will begin this fall on the msy Wind Surf during a five-week combined wet dock and dry dock in November and December 2006.

The Wind Spirit will undergo renovations in spring 2007 and the Wind Star in fall 2007.
