Windstar Cruises sails to amazing places just this side of unreachable, with authentic experiences allowing you to experience these destinations in the most immersive way possible; smaller excursion groups also help you to be easily absorbed by local cultures, rather than intruding upon them, enhancing your experience further.

Offering port-intensive itineraries, you’ll find Windstar Cruises’ sailings often include exclusive ports of call and destinations larger ships can’t access – as well as frequent late-evening port stays and overnight stops at special destinations. All of this means you’ll have the chance to enjoy more immersive and authentic shore experiences throughout your getaway, exploring unspoiled beaches and hidden harbours alongside popular holiday hotspots.

With Windstar Cruises, you’ll find year-round voyages to French Polynesia, cruises to lesser-known Caribbean islands, Mediterranean itineraries you won’t want to miss, and Alaskan adventures – somewhere where zodiac and kayak tours really give you a chance to appreciate the environment around you.

When enjoying a getaway with Windstar Cruises, you’ll find a wide variety of things to do throughout the day and into the evening onboard. Whether you opt to relax and unwind in the sumptuous World Spa, workout in the well-equipped Fitness Centre, or take in the breathtaking sea views, you’ll have an unforgettable cruise experience. Alternatively, on select sea days, you can take advantage of the extraordinary Marina: the ultimate place to kayak, stand-up paddleboard, and swim from.

Windstar Cruises also hosts guest lecturers offering talks on a wide range of subjects, exploring everything from local cultures to the environment around you, alongside unique shore experiences and an Open Bridge – which will give you a fantastic insight into how your ship works, and the technology and techniques that go into navigating the world’s oceans.

Windstar Cruises offers unique experiences on classic sailing yachts, as well as all-suite modern yachts giving you the flexibility to choose which type of cruise getaway you want. With no onboard schedule, you can decide whether you want to relax on the top deck, listen to captivating live music, enjoy a swim in the ocean or unwind in your cabin.
