Windstar Cruises has revealed a sneak peek at the interior design of Star Seeker’s dining and lounge venues with exclusive images of the first-ever Star Class ship set to take its maiden voyage in December 2025.
Images of the Amphora Restaurant, Main Lounge, and Yacht Club show how he inspired design transforms the guest experience aboard the 224-passenger yacht. Windstar Cruises will have the ship’s christening celebration in Miami on 15 January 2026, following its maiden voyage.
Amphora Restaurant
Windstar’s signature dining venue where elegant multi-course dinners meet ocean views.
Guests can choose their perfect setting, whether it’s dining under the stars or in a sophisticated interior atmosphere any time of day.
As the official cruise line of the James Beard Foundation, Amphora regularly showcases exclusive dishes from celebrated James Beard Foundation chefs with no reservation needed.
During the day, the restaurant takes on a more casual flair, where breakfast and lunch offerings include a vibrant buffet with live cooking stations and freshly prepared á la carte selections tailored to each guest.
Basil + Bamboo
Basil + Bamboo blends Mediterranean and Asian flavours in perfect harmony.
Unlike specialty dining venues on most cruise lines, it is complimentary and serves up an exotic fusion of flavours each evening in an intimate setting.
Yacht Club
By day, this gathering spot serves handcrafted coffee creations alongside quick bites for breakfast or a casual lunch.
As evening falls, the space transforms into an intimate lounge where travellers can unwind with cocktails and conversation, all accompanied by subtle melodies.
Main Lounge
Guests can immerse themselves in enrichment presentations, port talks, and spirited trivia battles.
When evening arrives, the lounge transforms into an entertainment hub where live music and performances create the soundtrack for unforgettable voyages.
And the much anticipated and quite genuine crew (talent) show takes place every voyage – a Windstar tradition.
“Designing our first new build has been an exciting project for us,” Windstar Cruises chief operating officer, Stijn Creupelandt, said. “Every detail of the yacht’s layout has been carefully considered to maximise versatility and enhance our signature Windstar small ship experience.”
In addition to the dining venues above, fire meets flavour at Star Grill, an open-air haven that serves premium smoked, grilled, and barbequed meats, fresh seafood and vegetables for memorable lunch and dinner services. For ultimate convenience, complimentary24-hour room service delivers directly to guest suites, including Amphora’s full dinner menu for those evenings when private dining feels just right.
Ultimately, Star Seeker is a new twist on Windstar’s much loved Star Class yachts, with public spaces designed to serve daytime and evening roles to bring people together in the casual, welcoming atmosphere the cruise line is known for. Following its Miami christening on 15 January 2026, Star Seeker charts an impressive course – from Caribbean shores to Alaska’s majestic coastlines in summer, before venturing to Japan and the exotic landscapes of Southeast Asia, with a special focus on Thailand and Vietnam’s hidden treasures.
