We're taking cruising in a different direction

Pack your bag once and visit a tapestry of legendary and off-the-beaten-path destinations chosen to provide the best itinerary, all while returning to your perfectly-sized ship with spacious accommodations. Travel stress-free with logistics and transportation between curated destinations arranged for and included. Plus, all sumptuous meals and non-alcoholic beverages are included and prepared to your preferences, making cruising a great value. It’s a big world out there. See it best on a Windstar small yacht.

In 2021, our yachts will be ready to welcome you on board with our new multi-layered Beyond Ordinary Care program featuring hospital grade HEPA filters with UV-C irradiation.

Beyond Ordinary

Between rocky headlands, along river estuaries and nestled in tiny bays on secluded islands are the hidden gems that larger ships pass by. Far away from the crowds, secret, myth-laden ruins, unpretentious cafés, traditional handicrafts and mouthwatering local delicacies await your discovery.

Dive In

Windstar’s unique itineraries and small-group shore excursions provide a more meaningful connection to the people and the cultures you encounter. From active to academic, scenic to epicurean, our excursions offer you more ways to broaden your vision and open your heart.

Impeccable Taste

Delectable cuisine, delightful surroundings, inspired wine pairings...it’s no surprise Windstar has partnered with James Beard Foundation chefs. Meals are prepared just to your liking with an array of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from ports along the journey. Each nightly menu is crafted to highlight the spectacular flavors of the regional cuisine.

Anticipating Wishes

From the moment you step on board and we greet you by name to the moment we reluctantly bid you farewell, you are our first priority. Our warm, attentive crew stays near at hand, bringing just the right thing at just the right time, delighting in making every moment perfect.

Welcoming Family

Our relaxed and casual mood makes for an intimate atmosphere that’s perfect for making friends, sharing stories, and discovering new and unforgettable experiences together.
