Gives Windstar Cruises the Blue Ribbon for Small-Ship Cruising

SEATTLE, June 3
Windstar Cruises, which operates a three-ship fleet of luxury yachts
that explore hidden harbors and secluded coves of the world's most
treasured destinations, was recognized for the second consecutive year
as the best small-ship cruise vacation by the discerning readers of
Celebrated Living. The prestigious honor was published in the 2008

touts as the "best-of-the-best" travel and vacation experiences in the
world.

"We are truly grateful to our guests and the readers of Celebrated

service standards."

The selection of itineraries for the 2009 and winter 2010 season
aboard the 312-guest Wind Surf and 148-guest Wind Star and Wind Spirit

With the addition of a new Signature Collection Series, Venice
roundtrip sailings and completed ship enhancements, Windstar Cruises
has raised the bar for their loyal guests and fellow sailing
enthusiasts. Guests interested in enchanting locales, fine dining,
luxurious accommodations, or spending time with renowned wine makers,
top chefs and acclaimed artists will all have something to look
forward to aboard Windstar Cruises.

A leader in defining the small ship luxury cruise experience for the
last 20 years, Windstar has won the allegiance of a new generation of
contemporary travelers who appreciate the line's casual attire,
alternative dining venues, rich mix of shore excursions, complimentary
water sports program, deluxe spa facilities and luxurious

Windstar's award-wining reputation for sophisticated, yet casual
elegance has been recognized by some of the most notable names in the
travel world including Porthole Cruise Magazine for Most Romantic
Cruise Line and Best Tall Ship by readers in the 9th Annual Readers'
Choice Awards. Windstar has also earned top honors in Travel +
