Windstar Cruises’ Star Pride made its debut in Greece on Thursday (9 June) following a "complex lengthening and transformation" project at Fincantieri shipyard.
The yacht is currently sailing from Athens on an eight-day voyage to Barcelona, calling at Gythion, Corfu, Argostoli, Messina, Trapani, and Cagliari.
Star Pride is the third and final of Windstar’s Star Plus-class yachts to emerge from the Italian shipyard following the regeneration project. All six of the line’s vessels are now back in operation.
The line’s three Star Plus-class yachts – Star Breeze, Star Legend and Star Pride – underwent major transformations, with an investment of more than $250 million. All three yachts increased in maximum capacity from 212 guests to 312 guests.
"To have completed this project amidst a global pandemic is nothing short of amazing," said Windstar president Christopher Prelog. "We’re grateful to our ownership and to our partners for sticking with it, and to our customers for their excitement and support of these new products."
