Discover a Different Way to Cruise with Windstar
Experience the “180 Degrees of Difference” with Windstar Cruises, where small-ship sailing meets authentic discovery. With a fleet of just seven yachts carrying a maximum of 342 guests, Windstar offers an intimate cruising experience that larger ships simply can’t match.
Thanks to their smaller size, Windstar’s yachts can access less-visited ports, secluded beaches, hidden lagoons, and charming harbours where local culture comes to life.
Windstar’s fleet includes three iconic Wind Class sailing yachts, recognisable by their five billowing white sails, and four luxurious all-suite Star Class yachts, with a fifth yacht joining the fleet in December.
