Windstar Cruises CEO Hans Birkholz said: "Our ships are small, our ambience: casually elegant, our service: personal."

Prior to joining the fleet, Star Breeze underwent an $8.5m transformation for three weeks in Genoa, Italy.

As part of the renovation, the outdoor star deck was expanded by 4ft on each side to increase space for lounge and to add a new counter-current pool and whirlpool.
