  • The Windstar Triple Play in Barcelona
    The Windstar Triple Play in Barcelona In a Truly Rare Occurrence, Three Windstar Ships (50% of the Fleet) Sail from One of Europe’s Most Beautiful Cities Barcelona, Spain, November 5, 2018 – In a perfect world of itineraries, three Windstar Cruises’ ships (which account for 50 percent of the fleet) were in Barcelona, Spain on October 27. Star Breeze, Wind Surf, and Wind Star (representing two sailing yachts and one power yacht in the fleet) happened to be in port at the same time and departed one after another on individual itineraries in the Mediterranean. While passengers and frequent guests of the cruise line were delighted with the photo opportunity, the crews and captains also took advantage of the rare happenstance to visit each of the respective ships, as well as connect with friends and colleagues on board. Wind Surf, Wind Star, and Star Breeze depart Barcelona, Spain on October 27, 2018. (Photo credit: Benjamin Arthur) Windstar Captains (L-R): Vitaliy Brylko (Star Breeze), Belinda Bennett (Wind Star), Roman Krstanovic (Star Breeze), and Pedro Pinto (Wind Surf). Star Breeze captains were on a hand-over cruise, meaning one was departing service while the other was first joining.
