hi I'm Gary beverage I'm on board an old
0:02
ship that's now become a new ship in
0:06
the Seabourn spirit became part of the
0:08
wind star cruise line
0:09
he was remodeled revamped and was
0:12
relaunched as the star breeze and I'm
0:14
going to take you on a tour of the ship
0:16
from top to toe from Stern to Bower as
0:19
we take a look at the star breeze
0:28
it holds around about 200 guests it has
0:32
150 crews so it's a very high crew to
0:35
passenger ratio which makes it on the
0:37
luxury end and it is a gorgeous gorgeous
0:40
ship it's a small cruise ship and it has
0:43
lots of character and lots of great
0:46
so please if you're looking for a cruise
0:48
ship that's not like a modern and glitzy
0:50
but has a sense of tradition and
0:52
character tuned I think you'll
0:54
particular like wind star so although
0:57
it's a small ship it does have a choice
0:59
so there are number of different bars
1:01
and lounges one of my favorites onboard
1:04
the ship is the Yacht Club which is
1:06
right up and on the top of the ship on
1:09
decades and looks over the bow of the
1:10
ship this is a great place it has an
1:13
early riser breakfast it also serves
1:15
sandwiches and light meals during the
1:17
day it's a really comfortable and a
1:20
great room in the evening people tend to
1:22
migrate more to compass rose that's
1:24
partly because it's a bar and in the
1:25
evenings they have entertainment there
1:27
it's also where there's a small casino
1:29
where you can play blackjack poker and
1:31
there's about ten fruit machines there's
1:33
also a lounge which tends to be used
1:35
more for the nightly port briefings but
1:38
also sometimes if there's a local
1:39
entertainment board on board that also
1:41
takes place in the lounge terms of
1:46
dining there are a number of options
1:48
there's a buffet breakfast and at lunch
1:50
which is served in the veranda in the
1:53
evening the veranda transforms itself
1:55
and becomes candles and that is included
1:58
you deserve to make reservations and you
2:00
can go roughly about once per week the
2:03
main restaurant in the evenings is a
2:05
gorgeous gorgeous dining room called
2:07
amphora it's open sea to do anything it
2:10
can hold everybody on the ship at one
2:12
time you can go whenever you want to and
2:14
you can either sit by yourself sort of a
2:17
couple or ask to sit at the piggy tail
2:20
and has a huge huge choice including a
2:22
daily chef special which is something
2:25
that has been the bought in a local
2:27
market of course there's also room
2:29
service to be had as well
2:32
in terms of fitness etc there is a spa
2:35
there is a large fitness center which
2:39
also has classes many which are
2:41
complementary there's a hairdressers and
2:43
also course the usual spa services there
2:45
is a couple of jacuzzis onboard one on
2:49
the pond the front of the ship on the
2:50
bow of the ship one up on at deck seven
2:53
and it's a small swing pool which really
2:56
is one of those counter-current swimming
2:58
pools where you can basically swim
2:59
against the current I should expect
3:04
there's the usual things there's a
3:06
reception there's a small sharp is the
3:09
shore excursion desk the ship also has a
3:15
couple of other features such as a
3:16
screening room where you can watch shows
3:18
and movies there's also very small
3:20
library which has guide books and novels
3:23
except that you can take out there's two
3:27
really interesting features also to the
3:29
ship one of which is being a smaller
3:30
ship it has an open bridge policy so
3:32
other than when the ships has a pilot on
3:34
board coming into or out of a port you
3:36
can normally go into the bridge chat to
3:39
the bridge crew see how door operates
3:41
and one of the big innovations which is
3:42
really fantastic is the water sports
3:44
platform so when the ship you know just
3:47
more doubt in the harbors if the sea
3:50
conditions are suitable it can open the
3:52
back of the ship and you can go kayaking
3:54
you can go on our IB tours you can go
3:56
swimming they put you know very sort of
3:59
trampolines and things out and go
4:00
splashing around particularly in the
4:01
Mediterranean or the Caribbean or
4:03
somewhere warm it's fantastic a perk
4:05
where the back of the ship opens and you
4:07
can go and splash around in the gorgeous
4:11
despite the shipping quite small there's
4:13
a lot of deck space and because it only
4:15
holds you know around about 200 guests
4:17
you'll actually find there's always
4:18
plenty of space to be found on board the
4:21
great thing about this ship is because
4:24
it's one of the older ships the cabin
4:25
sizes are really large and substantial
4:32
it's definitely for those people looking
4:34
for a small ship they want to have lots
4:37
of space some choice of course and a lot
4:41
of attempt of service because the
4:43
passenger to crew ratio is very high at
4:45
being a small ship it can get into lots
4:46
of smaller ports as well so there you
4:49
have it that's star breeze and also
4:51

4:52
a thumbs up and of course please
