Book Your Windstar Cruise With CruisesOnly For Big Savings & The Most Exclusive Bonus Offers

Choose From 170 Ports Of Call Worldwide Plus Special Ocean Crossing & Star Collector Voyages

Few cruise lines embody the romance of life on the high seas more fully than Windstar, which is why it's repeatedly been voted "the world's most romantic cruise line" by the readers of Brides® Magazine, Porthole Magazine, and other leading publications. Its signature trio of fully masted vessels - Wind Spirit, Wind Star, and flagship Wind Surf - are like nothing else afloat, evocative of a bygone era, replete with big, beautiful, and billowing staysails that help power your voyage; a second trio of sleek, all-suite yachts - Star Breeze, Star Legend, and Star Pride - complete the fleet. Beyond their retro charms, however, Windstar's small ships offer a whole host of practical advantages: every single stateroom or suite on every single vessel includes an ocean view; book a Windstar cruise and you'll also enjoy some of the very best service found at sea, courtesy of Windstar's enviable staff-to-guest ratio (Windstar yachts set sail with as few as 148 passengers onboard; Wind Surf, the cruise line's largest vessel, tops out at a maximum of 310 guests per departure); best of all, Windstar's cruise ships are capable of navigating the hidden islets and undiscovered coves that today's mega-ships can't reach, so you'll be treated to an experience that always steers clear of the conventional.

What Are The Accommodations Like On A Windstar Cruise?

You'll find several categories of stylish and comfortable accommodation to choose from aboard Windstar's trio of masted sailing ships including Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms; Deluxe Oceanview Suites; Deluxe Owner's Suites (one each aboard both Wind Spirit and Wind Star); and a pair of Bridge Suites (exclusively available aboard Wind Surf). All accommodations include a queen-sized bed (convertible to twins), luxurious linens, a flat-screen television with DVD player, a Bose® SoundDock, premium L'Occitane® bath amenities, fresh fruit, fresh flowers, and more (passengers opting for a Deluxe Oceanview Suite will also enjoy a separate sitting area and two full separate bathrooms).

Additional suite-only highlights include a separate in-room dining space (Owner's Suites) and a whirlpool spa tub and massage shower (Bridge Suites). Reserve your Windstar sailing aboard one any of the cruise line's all-suite power yachts (Star Breeze, Star Legend, or Star Pride) and you'll enjoy all of the choices listed above plus Deluxe Balcony Suites and Windstar's coveted Classic Suites (limited to four per vessel, these spacious accommodations feature forward-facing windows, French balconies/private verandas, two spacious closets, and other special extras).

What's The Food Like On A Windstar Cruise?

Windstar prides itself on its culinary excellence, and industry leaders continue to recognize the cruise line's efforts (e.g. 2017's "Best Dining," Small-Ship Category, via the experts at CruiseCritic.com). Guests can choose from up to four fantastic restaurants per vessel, plus an array of exclusive offerings developed in partnership with the prestigious James Beard Foundation. Start your day with an al fresco breakfast or lunch (full-service or buffet-style) at the casual Veranda; come nightfall, pay a visit to AmphorA (open seating, multi-course gourmet dinners paired with a selection of fine wines) or the über-romantic Candles (Windstar's popular pop-up venue, positioned poolside on most evenings, weather permitting; there's no surcharge, but reservations are required). Guests sailing aboard Wind Surf can also opt for fine French dining (e.g. coq au vin, escargot, and other classics) at Stella Bistro, Windstar's lone specialty restaurant.

The cruise line's beloved Onboard Barbecue is another highlight. Scheduled once per voyage, this special get-together features delicious fare, prepared using locally sourced ingredients, that's dished out on deck and beneath the stars (both the food and the evening's entertainment are served up by the same fun-loving crew). Additional gastronomic highlights include Culinary Demos and Signature Recipes courtesy of the talented folks from the aforementioned Beard Foundation plus one-of-a-kind itineraries (e.g. Epicurean Explorations, Windstar's Culinary Cruise Collection) that have been curated with foodies in mind.

Activities, Entertainment, Enrichment: Your Time At Sea Aboard A Windstar Cruise Ship

Windstar's most notable shipboard feature is, undoubtedly, its Watersports Platform. Situated on your yacht's stern, it allows you to swim, kayak, paddleboard, water ski, and more directly off the back of the ship (weather and port conditions permitting). And it's all included in your fare! Windstar guests can also opt for a tranquil treatment or two (wraps, massages, reflexology, and more) at Windstar's newly expanded WindSpa. Additional onboard options include live music in the Lounge (local performers will often come aboard to entertain passengers); blackjack, roulette, and other games of chance in the Casino; or a little quiet time in your ship's cozy Library.

Windstar guests are always welcome to mingle with their Captain and other senior officers on their yacht's Open Bridge, and every Windstar departure includes a "Welcome" Reception featuring complimentary champagne and other cocktails. Select Windstar sailings play host to renowned guest lecturers (who'll help get you up to speed on the destinations you'll be visiting), and a selection of enrichment options is also available (e.g. cooking classes, wine tastings). Additionally, guests can prepare for their time ashore by booking one of Windstar's Destination Discovery Events en route to port; event examples include a moonlit dinner/concert at the Celsus Library in Ephesus, Turkey or an enchanted evening of ballet in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Windstar Yacht Club: Extra Savings, Special Membership Privileges On Every Windstar Voyage

Windstar extends exclusive benefits to all returning guests. Best of all, they're made available to you the instant you've completed your very first Windstar voyage; there are no points that you'll need to accumulate, or membership tiers that you'll have to climb - sail with Windstar once and you're part of the club, and you can begin taking advantage of these special savings and offers the next time you book and/or sail.

How It Works: A one-size-fits-all approach. Automatically enrolled upon completion of your first Windstar cruise; benefits may then be applied towards any subsequent Windstar booking or redeemed while you're onboard (loyal Windstar customers may also accrue and share additional benefits each time they refer a family member or a friend).

Yacht Club Rewards: A 5% savings on most cruise fares; an additional 5% "Welcome Home" discount on select cruises (booked within 60 days of disembarkation from any qualifying cruise); a complimentary one-category stateroom or suite upgrade (at time of onboard check-in, subject to availability); a private cocktail reception for Yacht Club members (onboard); an invitation to dine with your ship's Captain and/or your ship's officers; an exclusive onboard gift; a $100 referral gift for you and each referred family member/friend; additional discounts at Windstar Partners Properties (e.g. The Broadmoor, CW Safaris, The Oasis at Death Valley, and more).
