Celebrating the Holidays on a 10-Day Yachting Adventure

As we entered the Port of Miami, our driver didn’t believe us when we said our ship was at Terminal E. He insisted there was no ship at Terminal E. Trust us, we said.

Sure enough, there it was — sandwiched in between two Carnival megaships was Windstar Cruises Star Legend. With a guest capacity of 312 (there are 240 booked for this cruise), it was more yacht than ship, which happens to be this cruise line’s calling card.
This is our first time on Windstar, which would be departing Miami on a 10-day “Jungles and Jewels of the American Coast.” For us, it was the perfect way to spend the Christmas holidays.

Known for their sailing ships, Star Legend is one of three of Windstar’s motorized yachts, which have been undergoing a $250 million renovation. The ship was actually cut in half and a new midsection inserted that boosted guest capacity by a hundred, as well as upgrading staterooms and facilities throughout the ship.
