The ship
Stretched Star-class Windstar sister
Star Legend is a stretched Star-class Windstar ship (1992, stretch 2021): room for about 312 guests, sister energy to Breeze and Pride — yacht-style public rooms and a watersports marina for destination weeks.
Amphora covers main dining; Yacht Club fills casual hours. Candles or The Grill specialty evenings are the polished layer. Confirm what your Windstar cruise includes for drinks and specialty covers.
Evenings centre on main-lounge entertainment; daytime is pool deck and marina toys when at anchor. She is small-ship Windstar — not a megaship neighbourhood city.
If you want yacht-style Windstar with Candles nights and a watersports marina under 320 guests, Legend fits — confirm drinks inclusions before you sail.
On board
Amphora, Candles, marina
- 01
Amphora and Candles
Amphora handles main dining; Yacht Club covers casual hours. Candles or The Grill specialty evenings repay a reservation. Confirm covers for your cruise. On a ship carrying roughly 312 guests, timing matters more than the brochure photo. Specialty doors repay an embarkation-day reservation — the same 19:30 sea-day slot is popular across the ship. Keep one or two included nights in the plan so the week does not become cover-charge maths.
- 02
Main lounge
Main-lounge entertainment sized for Windstar crowds fills evenings. Programmes change by season and itinerary — check your sailing. Arrive early for centre seats on night one if a headline production matters to you. Guest comics and lounge sets fill the nights between house shows, and the mix shifts by season.
- 03
Bars after dark
Lounge and bar culture carry conversation after dinner. Confirm drinks inclusions for your cruise. The mood is yacht-casual, not megaship party. Live music, trivia and quieter cocktail corners fill the gaps between headline shows. Price drinks packages against what you will actually order; a short bar crawl still adds up on a long week.
- 04
Pool and marina
Pool deck owns warm sea days. Watersports marina opens when at anchor and conditions allow. Claim outdoor space early on warm sea days — empty loungers vanish by mid-morning in peak weeks. Families chase splash edges; adults often want the quieter rail. Thermal spa time is a separate spend on most lines — book a sea-day pass if heat loungers are your reset rather than another crowded sundeck.

Adult-leaning product
Children’s facilities are limited. Couples who will use marina toys and go ashore get Legend’s brief; families needing big clubs should look elsewhere. On a ship carrying roughly 312 guests, timing matters more than the brochure photo. Families chase splash edges; adults often want the quieter rail. Thermal spa time is a separate spend on most lines — book a sea-day pass if heat loungers are your reset rather than another crowded sundeck.
Amphora
Amphora handles the included evening meals — assigned or flexible depending on your cruise. in the included dining on this inclusive ship — still reserve busy sea-day slots. Best for guests who want a classic cruise dinner without budgeting extras every night.
Candles / The Grill
Candles / The Grill is the occasion restaurant on the inclusive map — more of a booking night than the casual café. Usually in the inclusive dining map — reserve early; the occasion is the booking, not a cover shock.
Specialty evenings
Specialty evenings are the occasion restaurants on the inclusive map — more of a booking night than the casual café. Usually in the inclusive dining map — reserve early; the occasion is the booking, not a cover shock.
Yacht Club
Yacht Club is the private enclave — its own shortcuts, quieter sundeck energy and often a dedicated restaurant or lounge. Suite-level space and shortcuts — you paid for the key, not a second ship. Best if you paid for that quieter corner of a busy ship.
Main lounge
Main lounge is the after-dinner circuit — drinks, music and a place to sit when the theatre lets out. Drinks are often inclusive on this ship — confirm your cruise. Best when you want the evening to keep going without hiking the whole ship.
Pool deck
Pool deck is the outdoor heart for swim, sun and sea-day loitering. in the included dining on this inclusive ship — still reserve busy sea-day slots. Arrive early on warm sea days if a lounger matters.
Watersports marina
Watersports marina deploys the water toys on swim-call days — kayaks, sails or similar yacht kit. Included when the marina is open; weather and itinerary decide the day. Best for families and anyone chasing thrills; quiet sunbed hunters should look elsewhere.
Spa
Spa is the calmer daytime reset — treatments and thermal loungers rather than pool-deck noise. Many treatments sit outside even an inclusive cruise — thermal access is often the paid add. Book ahead on sea days if heat loungers and steam are your reset.
Fitness
Fitness is the gym and classes corner for sea-day routines. Access is usually in the included dining; personal training and some classes can be extra. Useful if you want to keep a routine without leaving the ship.
Shop
Shop covers the duty-free and boutique wander between venues. Spend is optional — walk through without buying, or budget a treat night. Fine for a wander between venues; skip if you are protecting the holiday budget.
Fit
Who she is for
- Couples who want yacht-style Windstar — Candles nights, marina toys, under 320 guests — without megaship neighbourhoods.
- Destination cruisers happy with small-ship polish who will go ashore and use watersports when open.
- Not for families needing big kids’ clubs, or travellers seeking formal British ritual. Choose a family megaship or Cunard instead.
