The Star Breeze, which is operated by Windstar Cruises, berthed off the port of Mgarr, Gozo on Sunday, on a full day visit from 7am until 6pm.

It holds a crew of 150 and can carry up to 212 passengers, with 174 on this current cruise, mostly from the United States. The ship had previously called at the port of Catania, with its next stop after Gozo being Porto Empedocle.

Originally launched in 1989, the Star Breeze is a former Seabourn ship purchased by Windstar Cruises. It .underwent a comprehensive $8.5 million stem-to-stern transformation before her inaugural voyage last year.
