With only 312 guests, you begin to feel like Windstar’s Star Legend is your own private yacht almost as soon as you step aboard. The sitting area of your spacious, newly refurbished suite gives you an expansive ocean view—making it a welcome retreat. When you’re ready to make an appearance, the lounges, club, and library are waiting to be explored. Take some “you” time in the tranquil World Spa by Windstar—enjoy a dip in the pool or the Fitness Center—and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge. The all-suite Star Legend is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach. Star Legend underwent a comprehensive renovation as part of a $250 Million Start Plus Initiative, which include new public areas, two new dining venues, new bathrooms in every suite and more. This is the perfect ship for Olivia’s lesbian Ireland and Scotland cruise.

Jonathan and his team pulled out all the stops for our boys trip! I planned a very last minute trip for me, my dad and son and this team completed an entire agenda full of entertainment, food stops, and must see places! Truly impressed with his customer service, attention to detail, and responsiveness. If these guys are helping you plan a trip, you can rest assured that it will be amazing!
My wife and I had the trip of a lifetime in France for our 20 year anniversary, thanks to Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations. His ideas for hotels, itinerary and tours were spot on. He was completely able to gauge what we would love with just a short conversation and a few emails. Thank you Jonathan. You're a rockstar and we will definitely be using you again and again!
We just booked our second cruise within the past year through Purple Light Vacations due to their outstanding service. Jonathan Geen is not only highly professional, he is enjoyable to work with. What is the one thing we all want from the service industry, and especially dealing with travel and vacations-- timely and helpful assistance. Jonathan was quick to respond to any question or inquiry, whether by email or phone, any time or day of the week. He went over and above to make sure we were taken care of, and even provided information about places he didn't even book for us. Purple Light is now our go-to firm for travel and vacations.
