Casinos Austria International launches three new cruising casinos on board

The first of the three venues opened on board the Wind Star last 16 June, and offers top class gaming entertainment at 2 Blackjack and Poker tables and 11 slots.

It was followed by the casino on board its sister ship, the Wind Spirit, on 23 June 2007 with an identical gaming mix. The two luxury multi-sail-yachts each accommodate only 148 passengers in 73 deluxe, ocean-view staterooms.

The casino on board the largest vessel in the Windstar Cruises fleet, the 308-passenger Wind Surf, commenced operations last 1 July with a choice of 3 Blackjack tables, 1 Poker table and 27 slot machines. The Wind Surf offers deluxe ocean-view accommodation in 123 staterooms and 31 suites as well as a state-of the-art spa.

Seattle-based Windstar Cruises offers a new generation of cruise vacationers the chance to see the world in five-star contemporary luxury from the romantic, intimate setting of an elegant yet informal yacht. A market leader in luxury small ship cruising, Windstar Cruises’ unique sailing concept takes its guests to some 50 specially selected destinations from the Caribbean to the Greek Islands and from Costa Rica to St. Tropez.

Casinos Austria International began its shipboard activities in 1981 and has since established a long tradition of operating casinos on board luxury cruise ships. Operation of the new Windstar casinos will be managed by its specialized subsidiary, Shipboard Casino Services, based in Piraeus, Greece.
