Windstar Cruises to carry out 'complex' cruise ship stretch

摘要

Windstar Cruises is carrying out possibly the most "complex" stretch of an existing cruise ship. Its vice president of expansion projects John Gunner tells Passenger Ship Technology that the combination of the stretch, a complete re-engining, new onboard venues and replacing technical equipment on board its three Star-class cruise ships has never been done before. The US$250M Star Plus initiative will see Italian shipyard Fincantieri insert a 25.6-m mid-body block into Star Breeze, Star Legend and Star Pride, with work starting on Star Breeze in October 2019 and ending with the departure of Star Pride from the yard in November 2020. Each refit will take around four months with the ships in the dock.
