A Signature Partner
180°
Immersive, small-ship voyages that bring you closer to the world's most secluded harbors, curated for you by Elevida.
148 to 342 Guests · Open Bridge Access · James Beard Foundation Culinary Distinction
The Advisor's Edge
Three classic sailing yachts, three newly transformed motor yachts, 148 to 342 guests per voyage. Windstar's fleet is sized to feel like a private yacht from the moment you board, and staffed at 1.5 guests to every crew member so hospitality is genuinely personal.
The bridge is often open to guests. Captains welcome impromptu chart-reading lessons. Chefs take guests to visit the local market in the morning's port. Live music in the Lounge, Candles wine-and-appetizers in the evening, and a Watersports Platform you step directly off the stern of the ship.
We recommend Windstar to travelers who want a casual yet high-end cruise. Those who lean into culinary excellence thanks to their James Beard Foundation partnership, and to the unique port access of destinations like Tahiti, the Greek Isles, and the hidden harbors of the Mediterranean.
The Windstar Way
When you step aboard Windstar, you're more than a guest. You become part of a club that is 180 degrees from ordinary.

The Way to
With the wind behind you and the stars above, you can go anywhere aboard their fleet of three classic sailing and three newly transformed all-suite yachts. Cruise on what feels like your own perfectly sized private sailing yacht, alongside 148 to 342 fellow travelers.

The Way to
Windstar doesn't just take you to places. It takes you into places bigger ships simply cannot. Wake up to iconic ports and hidden harbors while docked on the doorstep of the world's most fascinating cities.

The Way to
When you sail with Windstar, you don't just get to know places. You get to know people. The kind of people, guests and crew alike, who add to the unpretentious casual atmosphere onboard and create lifelong bonds thanks to their shared travel experience.

The Way to
Windstar moments, created by a crew that considers hospitality a calling, not just a job. A 1.5-to-1 guest-to-crew ratio makes acts of personalized attention and recognition a daily occurrence. Remembering your name. Recommending a must-see location ashore.

The Way to
Fully immersing yourself in destinations should leave you full. As the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation, it begins in the kitchens where Windstar chefs take inspiration from locally sourced ingredients and plate innovative twists on local cuisine. A new vegan menu offering is also available across the fleet, thanks to Windstar's partnership with the National Health Association.
James Beard Foundation
Windstar is the only cruise line to hold this distinction. James Beard Foundation chefs sail aboard throughout the year, hosting guest chef dinners, culinary demonstrations, and destination-specific market visits.
On port days, shore the chef leads a stroll through the local market, returns to the galley, and plates lunch shaped by what was fresh that morning. Onboard restaurants include Candles (seafood under the stars) and regionally inspired menus that rotate with the itinerary.
Small Ship Destinations
Windstar scours the world for amazing places just this side of unreachable, then seeks out the most authentic ways for guests to experience them, in small groups easily absorbed by local cultures.

Tahiti
A graceful yacht is the perfect way to experience Tahiti in ways that are personal, authentic, and unscripted. Year-round departures almost every week, itineraries from 7 to 18 nights. Windstar's complimentary Destination Discovery Event in Bora Bora brings cultural excitement aboard.

Mediterranean
Cruise the Guadalquivir River to Seville. Anchor in the heart of Old Town Dubrovnik as larger ships pass by. Visit a local market with the Windstar Chef. Giardini Naxos, Portofino, Mallorca, and a new port almost every day with rarely more than one sea day.

Greek Isles & Northern Europe
Words like moor, loch, and geyser were born in this land. Summer evenings at seaside cafés, Fabergé palaces of amber and gold, storybook cities crisscrossed by canals and flower markets. Monemvasia. Santorini. The fjords and forgotten archipelagos of Northern Europe.
