Windstar Cruises
Discover a world where casual elegance meets immersive travel—Windstar Cruises offers an unparalleled way to explore iconic destinations aboard small, luxurious yachts that bring you closer to the world, in every sense. These intimate ships, with no more than 342 guests, glide into the heart of local cultures, remote coves, and legendary ports that larger cruise ships simply can’t reach.
With an easygoing, yacht-style ambiance and personalized service that feels more like sailing with friends than traditional cruising, Windstar delivers a refined yet relaxed experience throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Tahiti, Northern Europe, the South Pacific, and beyond.
