On any day, our 342-guest flagship, Wind Surf, the world’s largest sailing ship,
draws admiring glances as she glides majestically into port with her tall sails
billowing. And her beauty is far more than skin deep. During their cruise, you
will find the perfect setting for ‘making an entrance’ in the beautiful
reception area – and, appropriately, that’s only the beginning. 

The Wind Spirit is a sleek, 4-masted sailing ship accommodating 148 guests. With
four decks and a gross tonnage of 5,736, Wind Spirit feels like your own private
small ship. 

Wind Star sails with just 148 pampered guests in 74 total staterooms: 73 deluxe,
ocean-view staterooms and 1 deluxe Owner’s Suite with queen beds and a
dining/sitting area.

Carrying only 312 guests, Star Breeze is large enough to pamper and entertain
you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbours and hidden coves
that others can’t reach. 

Star Legend welcomes 312 pampered guests in 106 suites, including two deluxe
Owners' Suites, four beautiful Classic Suites, and 100 Balcony and Ocean View
suites.



With only 312 guests, a Star Pride cruise will make you feel like you're on
board your own private small  ship almost as soon as you step aboard. 


DESTINATIONS

 

 

Mediterranean 

Surrounded by wonders like the magnificent Cinque Terre, the culturally
transcendent Alhambra, and the Belem Tower monument, it is easy to fall in love
with the Mediterranean. With unique itineraries and local Private Events,
Windstar brings you closer to this spectacular part of the world. Cruise the
Guadalquivir River, the only navigable river in Spain spanning 408 miles, to
Seville. Anchor in the heart of Old Town Dubrovnik as larger cruise ships pass
by. Visit a local Mediterranean market with our Windstar Chef, enjoy unique
local Destination Discovery Events in interesting locales such as Giardini
Naxos, Portofino, and Mallorca and see a new port almost every day with never
more than one sea day. Sailings April through to November.

Tahiti

It’s a match made in heaven. You on your pristine white ship, sails billowing,
and these islands, so impossibly colourful, like a box of crayons gone mad. Star
Breeze is as at-home among Tahiti’s deserted motus and shallow lagoons as a
tiare flower, and just as beautiful, furled or unfurled. Bliss knows no bounds.
The sand massages your feet, warm water welcomes you like an old friend,
ambition falls away as you watch the sun etch palm fronds on the beach. This is
a place that is easy to love, difficult to leave, as so many before you have
discovered. Come. Experience Bora Bora, Moorea, Fakarava, and other exotic
Tahiti destinations you only dream about. Year-round sailings available.



Sailings with Windstar include a lot of special amenities, but one of the most
fun (and unique) is the Water Sports Platform, which allows guests easy access
to the ocean around them. The platform exists on each of the six ships and
includes unlimited use of all water sports equipment including stand up paddle
boarding, kayaking, snorkel equipment, sailing, swimming, water skiing, and
windsurfing. Use of the platform is always weather permitting and only takes
place in certain ports during each of the journeys.



Step away from the crowds. Away from towering decks and a thousand people, or
even more. Away from lines, from waiting, away from the whole idea of group
travel. Step into amazing places, relish intimate cultural experiences, and
connect with the world, its people and yourself as only a small ship can help
you do. This is your holiday, your own experience. As individual as you are.
 
Welcome to the world of small ship cruising — to Windstar’s graceful small
ships, each one welcoming fewer than 350 privileged guests. With six beautiful
ships, Windstar gives you more true small ship choices than anyone in the world.
Every Windstar voyage starts with you. With a stateroom or suite that’s updated
in classic contemporary style with your comfort in mind. With small, handcrafted
shore excursions that take you closer and show you more. With legendary service
that has been acclaimed the best on the seas. Come away from the ordinary — come
to the small ship world of Windstar.

Alaska

Mountains erupted from the tundra, rising higher than any others in North
America. Glaciers clawed their way across the landscape, scratching deep fjords
into the coast and scouring archipelagos from the sea. And in the aftermath of
these geologic gyrations, wildlife and marine life flourished, adapting to a
land of extremes. Come. Gaze upon wondrous sheets of topaz ice and rivers thick
with spawning salmon. Navigate narrow fjords whose secrets are only revealed to
small ships like ours. Find your way to Russian cathedrals, Tsimshian villages,
and a greater understanding of why they call this the Great Land.

Asia

Nowhere else in the world will you find such a stunning juxtaposition of ancient
traditions and contemporary cultures. Mystic temples give way to soaring
skyscrapers while tranquil, timeless villages neighbour pulsating, modern
cities. Windstar brings you the best of both worlds, taking you to the heart of
cosmopolitan marvels like Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Tokyo and the
exotic shores of small villages and unspoiled islands of Thailand, Malaysia,
Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Canada & New England

Long before Columbus, Vikings crossed the Labrador Sea from Greenland to settle
in L’Anse Aux Meadows. Centuries later, Portuguese fishermen, Basque whalers,
French trappers, and English pilgrims would follow and discover a Promised Land
where nature nurtures both body and soul. Here, where the sun first kisses North
America, explorer Jacques Cartier found a place where “the scenery is indeed
worth seeing and can’t be properly described in words.” The ravishing
lighthouse-studded coast still inspires awe. Manna from the sea still delights
palates. And small ships like ours still ply these waters with a freedom denied
to larger ships.


Canada & New England

Caribbean

Candy-coloured cocktails sipped in seaside watering holes. Carefree days
followed by calypso-flavoured nights. These are the siren songs that lure anyone
with a small ship and a yearning to escape to the incomparable Caribbean
Islands. Whether you’re cruising through turquoise waters or lazing on powdery
white beaches, the glamorous harbours and unknown coves of this area remain a
hidden treasure. Sailings year-round.

Greek Isles

The Acropolis at sunset. A moonlight supper at the ancient Celsus Library in
Ephesus. Walking down the Street of Knights in Rhodes accompanied by the ghosts
of the past. Like arms joined in a syrtakis dance, one incomparable experience
follows another across the Aegean and Sea of Marmara, and your white ship gives
you a front row seat to it all. Compare the rich blue of Santorini with that of
the Iznik tiles in Istanbul’s Blue Mosque. Get deliciously lost in the
labyrinthine lanes of medieval Rhodes. Cross the Dardanelles and Bosporus like
the voyagers of old, waving first to one continent and then the other. May to
September sailings available.

Italy

Let Windstar’s Italian cruises whisk you away to charming villages, pristine
beaches and legendary cities with unique itineraries that let you discover Italy
as it was meant to be seen. From the picturesque pastel towns that line the
Amalfi Coast to enchanting islands such as Sicily and Elba, you’ll explore
breathtaking sights in charismatic small ports and beautiful hidden harbours
without missing the remarkable history of larger cities such as Rome or Venice.
Discover a more intimate Italy with our local Destination Discovery Events and
unwind back onboard with the pampered, personalized touch of Windstar Cruises.
April to October sailings available.



Mexico

Fiestas are a way of life in Mexico, fitting for a country with so much to
celebrate. A virtual aquarium offshore in the Sea of Cortez. Mayan temples
bathed in desert light and shadow. Cuisines and coastlines that marry the smooth
and soothing with the surprisingly sharp and dramatic. Come in search of trophy
marlin, an authentic mole, the perfect beach, and find them all in Mexico. Along
with an all-suite white-and-teak ship to frame each stunning sunset.

Northern Europe

Words like moor, loch, and geyser were born in this land, because no existing
vocabulary could adequately describe these extraordinary landscapes. These
regions could just as easily have coined a term for ambrosial summer evenings at
seaside cafés, Fabergé palaces of amber and gold, and storybook cities
crisscrossed by canals and flower markets, all of which are here in abundance.
But as your elegant ship traces its way through enchanting fjords and forgotten
archipelagos, you won’t need words. June to September sailings available.

Panama and Costa Rica

Natural and man-made wonders combine in this exotic region where you are an
explorer by day with cocktails on the fantail of your casually elegant ship by
night. Costa Rica is one of the most ecologically diverse places on earth over
landscapes of rainforest, lakes, cloud forests, volcanoes, and more, boasting an
impressive variety of wildlife. Learn more about their history, flora and fauna
from a local Naturalist on board and transit the massive Panama Canal during
daylight hours, with a memorable deckside festival. Against all this colour and
adventure, your white small ship rests at anchor awaiting your return from a
delightful day of exploring. December to April sailings available.

South Pacific

Oceania’s scattered island nations bring to mind the breathtaking beaches and
peacock-colored lagoons of Tahiti, but they also contain the most diverse
indigenous cultures in the world. Come with us as we travel beyond the packaged
resorts to experience a world few get to see. Go back to the way things used to
be on tiny Niue or Maré, with no crowds, only twinkling stars at night, and a
pace of life many yearn for. Discover villages that still follow traditional
ways of life on Tanna, Vanuatu. Explore small Fijian communities and the
untouched rainforest of the Wasali Nature Reserve near Savusavu. Add context to
the postcard images the South Pacific is known for.

Windstar Cruises is excited to announce that we’re expanding our fleet with not
one, but TWO new all-suite Star Class ships. Coming December 2025, Star
Seeker will be our first-ever Star Class new build, followed by Star Explorer in
December 2026. Serving 224 guests, each ship will feature 112 suites with full
private verandas and infinity windows. They’ll also come with two new Owner’s
suites with wrap-around balconies, perfect for evening cocktails or a private
dinner.

Each ship will include a Watersports platform, a cozy Yacht Club café and
lounge, and a two-story spa and fitness facility, among other amenities. Plus,
both ships will have ice-strengthened hulls, unlocking access to new
destinations. Pair this with Windstar’s unmatched service, and it’s easy to see
why Star Seeker and Star Explorer are ready to make a major splash. With these
two ships on the horizon, the future is looking bright for Windstar Cruises. Set
to sail in magnificent destinations across the globe, be sure to keep an eye out
on the itineraries as they are released.
