Windstar

Windstar Cruises provides you with the opportunity to bypass the crowds, uncover hidden gems in smaller ports, and immerse yourself in local cultures through more intimate excursions. With their fleet of small ships, accommodating between 148 to 342 guests, combined with a personalised approach, this allows you to forge deeper connections with each destination and every port of call, providing you with fresh perspectives on the world's most captivating places.

Enjoy the luxury of ample time and space, and the freedom to fully engage with both the journey itself and the destinations you visit. It's an opportunity to explore and connect in ways that you may never have imagined possible.

Offering two distinct yacht styles: the iconic sailing Wind Class and the all-suite Star Plus Class, each is tailored to accentuate their unique characteristics. Whether you're island-hopping in Tahiti or navigating the dramatic fjords of Norway, the custom-crafted journeys showcase the best of what these yachts have to offer.

They are dedicated to providing you with exceptional experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

Windstar Cruises now offers even more late-night departures, opportunities for overnights in ports, and an exclusive Concierge Collection of shore excursions. These enhancements ensure that Windstar guests can fully immerse themselves in the wonder, authenticity, and splendor of the world as seen from a small yacht. By accessing small and charming ports, you'll have the chance to explore both the well-known must-see attractions and the hidden gems known only to the locals. Your newfound friends from the local communities will serve as your guides, unveiling the secrets of each destination, and providing you with an insider's perspective of the places you visit.

There's no rigid schedule to adhere to, except the one you set for yourself.

You don't get overloaded with crowded onboard activities like bingo and blackjack tournaments. Instead, you can explore local markets alongside the Chef, attend spontaneous chart reading lessons on the Open Bridge, enjoy shared bottles of wine and stories with fellow passengers at Candles, listen to live music in the Lounge, and take a direct leap from the yacht using the Watersports Platform. Above all, you can prioritise the activities you truly want to engage in when you travel.

Windstar has elevated its onboard dining experience with an exceptional culinary program that showcases a diverse range of fresh, seasonal ingredients acquired from each port of call on the voyage. These menus draw inspiration from a collaboration with the James Beard Foundation.

Each evening, the menu is thoughtfully curated to accentuate the incredible flavours of the local cuisine. Every meal lives up to the expectations of a private yacht experience, characterized by excellence, and is fully covered in Windstar's Cruise Fare. You have the freedom to dine at your preferred time, location, and with the company of your choice.

When embarking on a cruise to enchanting destinations like Tahiti, the Mediterranean, or the Caribbean, your journey isn't solely about the land; it's equally about the magnificent sea. That inviting, azure expanse is always ready to guide you on what to do today, and the exceptional Watersports Platform located at the back of your Windstar yacht is fully equipped to facilitate your activities, without the need for a beach. This platform is just one more way Windstar yachts bring you closer to your destination.

As part of their commitment to enhancing your experience, there is a range of complimentary watersports equipment and activities on offer, including:

Personalized snorkeling gear, custom-fitted for your use throughout your Tahiti cruise and at select Caribbean and Central America destinations.

• Stand-up paddleboards.
• Kayaks.
• A foam flotation magic carpet.
• A water trampoline.
• Sailboat.

These amenities are designed to ensure you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty and adventure of the sea during your Windstar cruise.
