Windstar riding the Wave

By Michelle Baran

Luxury yacht line Windstar Cruises reported a 94% increase in net revenue for the first six weeks of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Windstar also said that net revenue for the first six weeks of 2010 was 13% higher than the same period in 2008.

Windstar, operator of a three-ship fleet of yachts, attributes its improvement in sales to Wave season promotions.
