Windstar Cruises Brings the World to Life, 180O from Ordinary By Marika Flatt
Views of the countryside while aboard the M.S. Star Breeze are breathtaking.
Windstar Cruises sail a fleet of oversized yachts, such as the M.S. Star Breeze, so that guests are able to get the full cruise experience (multiple dining options, nightly entertainment, amenities like a spa) without the hassles of being on a large, oversized ship carrying thousands of guests. With just around 300 passengers, guests can engage with the feeling of summer camp on the high seas, having an intimate experience where you have multiple opportunities throughout the day to meet other guests (sitting at group tables for dinner or joining in on a group excursion) and also getting to know the crew (if you make a little effort), who are top-notch and work hard to ensure the perfect vacation. The Star Breeze is the Goldilocks of size in cruising: not too small that you feel every wave rumbling beneath you, but not too big so that you feel like just another seashell on the shore.

Bergen is a beautiful community surrounded by mountains and fjords.
Lerwick is the main town of the Shetland Isles, and an ideal spot to rent an electric bike to see the sites.

I’ve had the good fortune to cruise down the Danube River in Germany and to experience Norwegian Cruise Line’s Bliss, which is like its own city. But, there’s a reason why some people say they don’t cruise; it’s not for everyone. However, Windstar Cruises has found a way to combine all the best jewels of cruising and put them in one shiny jewelry box, shining bright as the cruise line for people who don’t typically enjoy cruises. With “180 Degrees from Ordinary” they are out to create a unique experience for each traveler.
