Holland America have sold Windstar Cruises to the owners of Majestic America Line, Ambassadors International. Carnival Corporation have announced that the boutique line was valued at $100 million.
It would appear that Carnival are keen to concentrate on large scale cruise lines with the sale of Windstar coming on the back of their announcement last year that another boutique cruise line, Swan Hellenic, was to close.
Windsurf has three ships, Wind Surf, Wind Star and Wind Sprit. The vessels will join the Seattle based Majestic America Line who specialize in US rive cruises and coastal cruises.
