Windstar Cruises Launches New Dining Experience

Windstar Cruises will launch a new al fresco dining experience on the 148-guest Wind Star and Wind Spirit. The poolside grill called Candles will serve steak and grilled skewers. “Wind Star and Wind Spirit guests now have the option of dining in two evening venues -- The Restaurant or Candles -- allowing our guests more choice and value,” said Diane Moore, Windstar president. “In summer 2008, Wind Surf launched Candles, serving the finest steaks and skewers, and it has received such great reviews that we decided to introduce the concept on Wind Star and Wind Spirit.”


At Candles, guests start with insalate caprese, followed by a main course selection of rib-eye, New York steaks, fresh swordfish skewers or assorted vegetable skewers all grilled on deck. The course is served with a choice of sauces: black peppercorn, creamy mushroom, Cafe de Paris butter or red wine sauce. Desserts include tiramisu made of savoiardi dipped in coffee and mascarpone cream. Candles accommodates approximately 30 guests per night and is subject to weather conditions. While there is no additional charge, reservations are recommended. For more information, call 866-801-6829 or visit www.windstarcruises.com.
