Discover Windstar Cruises
Any cruise ship lets you see the world. Windstar brings it close enough for you to fully live it. With just 148 to 342 guests per voyage, you'll feel like you're on your own private yacht. See, hear, smell, taste, and feel what it's like to sail on a luxury yacht into a small port, explore a hidden beach, see a parade of penguins, taste a spicy Norwegian Bacalao stew, and altogether lose yourself in a new and wondrous culture. Windstar's small cruise ships and personalised approach brings you closer to each destination and every port in an unpretentious and relaxed ambiance.
With late-night departures, overnights in ports, and Concierge Collection shore excursions, Windstar can connect you to the wonder and authenticity of a world discovered by small yacht. With access to tucked-away ports, you’ll visit popular must-sees as well as some of the best-kept secrets of each destination with your new friends—the locals—to show you around.
