This Cruise Feels Like You Rented a Private Yacht- Without the Price Tag

Let’s be honest: not everyone dreams of cruising with thousands of strangers, racing to the buffet or waiting in line for a lounge chair.

If you’re craving something more personal, more relaxed, and a whole lot more special-welcome to Windstar Cruises, where you don’t just visit incredible places, you arrive in a way that feels unforgettable.

This is cruising, reimagined or as Windstar calls it: 180° from Ordinary.

Yachts, Not Ships

Windstar doesn’t do mega-ships. Their fleet is made up of elegant, yacht-style vessels that carry fewer than 350 guests. Think of it as your home at sea-casual, refined, and endlessly welcoming.

The vibe? Upscale but unpretentious. No crowds, no dress codes, just stunning views, personalized service, and plenty of space to relax on your own terms.

It’s luxury that feels natural.

Where You Can Go: Places Big Ships Can’t

Thanks to its small ships, Windstar can reach places big cruise lines simply can’t- tucking into quiet harbors, narrow canals, and out-of-the-way islands that feel like a discovery.

You’ll explore:

And the experiences? They’re anything but ordinary:

This isn’t a checklist of tourist attractions. It’s a front-row seat to the world’s most magical moments.

A Slower, Deeper, More Meaningful Way to Travel

Windstar lets you stay longer in port. Explore more freely. Skip the crowds. You won’t be rushed back to the ship or funneled into tourist zones.

Instead, you’ll stroll quiet villages, shop local markets and wander winding streets that feel like they belong to you alone.

It’s immersive, unhurried travel-the kind that stays with you.

Gourmet, Without the Gimmicks

Onboard dining is a highlight- every meal is an invitation to slow down and savor with locally inspired cuisine, ocean views, and plenty of fresh air.

No crowded buffets. No rushed service. Just incredible food, beautifully prepared, in settings that make you want to linger.

Why Windstar? It Just Feels Different
