Windstar Cruises canceled the Star Breeze’s 2020 Alaska program, due to a delay in the completion of the ship’s current renovation in Italy.
Citing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Windstar now anticipates that the ship will leave the Fincantieri shipyard in late July and spend the summer sailing the Mediterranean before heading to Australia in the fall.
The Star Breeze was originally supposed to enter service in May and have a “re-inaugural” ceremony on June 29 in Vancouver.
The Star Breeze is the first of three Windstar ships that are being stretched as part of a $250 million “Star Plus Initiative,” followed by the Star Legend and Star Pride. All three ships will get new suites, dining venues and public spaces.
Windstar’s temporary suspension of cruise operations is currently scheduled to end on May 21.
