Star Legend

SHIP OVERVIEW

This all-suite ship will complete renovation as part of the $250 Million Star Plus Initiative to provide more of what guests love. New public areas, including two new dining venues, a new spa, elevated pool, and fitness area. The ship also boasts all new bathrooms in every suite and a new category of Star Suites, featuring a new layout. With ocean views and at least 277 square feet of suite comfort, Star Legend is the perfect ship for cruising the Dardanelles and into scenic fjords from the serenity of your suite.

PROS

personal attention

CONS

none

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Our cabin was spacious and well appointed. Cabin attendants were always available Ram and Wawan did an outstanding job. The shore trips were varied and all offered the Alaska experience for which we signed up. Guides were knowledgeable. Particularly liked the seaplane trip to Taku lodge, and zodiac tours. Seeing wildlife and hearing about them from enthusiastic guides was a plus. Going ashore in the small villages was enjoyble.

PROS

The Expedition Team gives you the advantage to zodiac and kayak right off the ship from the watersports platform

CONS

none

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We prefer small ships (the Legend has only 210 passengers) for the more intimate experience this type of sailing provides. Everything on the Legend was perfect - the food, the staff, and the suites - every room is 288 sq ft. with a HUGE picture window.

SEPTEMBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Yacht sized ship, less than 200 guests, excellent guest to crew ratio, great food including several dining options and a great pool deck BBQ, wonderful all-suite stateroom accommodations, open bridge policy

CONS

Ship is a bit dated, and a little rough around the edges, evening entertainment options extremely limited including in suite television channel selection

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Outstanding crew, friendly and accommodating at all times. Excellent food and service in all dining venues. Open bridge policy is an added treat. Take note that shore excursion pricing is outrageously expensive. We booked independently and had terrific tours at reasonable pricing. There is no swimming pool, only hot tubs on decks 5 and 7. This ship is a former Seabourn yacht, rebranded as the Windstar Legend, and launched only several months before my trip. The ship still needs some sprucing up here and there, but all in all the renovation is lovely, with an understated decor (translate: not cruise ship "gaudy") in earth tones in the suites and pubic spaces.

The food is fine, not great. Needs lectures and more activities for days at sea and long afternoons when ship sails early. The help is very good.
