The vibrant colors and islands of the Caribbean. The lush, dreamlike seascapes of Tahiti. The natural and man-made wonders of Costa Rica and Panama. Or the majesty and wilderness of Alaska.
Our small ships embrace the shoreline and bring you closer to the world with fewer than 350 guests per voyage and a friendly, knowledgeable crew devoted to personalized service.

It’s a star-lit vacation that will stir your soul—and create memories for a lifetime.

There’s no place like home — especially when it feels like your own private yacht. Your private paradise is designed entirely for your comfort. From the plush leather headboard to the fine Egyptian linens and marble bathroom. Enjoy the thoughtfully designed spaces, with more room for storage than you’ve ever imagined finding on a ship, and the luxurious touches just for your pleasure, like L’Occitane en Provence® bath products and concert quality sound from the Bose® SoundDock.

Windstar and the James Beard Foundation launched a partnership to celebrate food- and wine-themed cruises. This season they plan to build upon their relationship with a culinary-themed cruise supported by award-winning chefs, special guest appearances and cooking demonstrations by James Beard Foundation chefs on select cruises.
A day on board your Windstar yacht is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a relaxing massage in WindSpa. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the Fitness Center. Even better, why not both? After a sumptuous lunch in Veranda, make a splash from the Watersports Platform off the yacht’s stern. Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there — swimming, kayaking, sail-boarding, even water skiing. And it’s all complimentary, of course. Sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email or grab a DVD for your stateroom or suite in the Library. After dinner, try your luck in the Casino and dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you’re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you.
As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like — on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully.
When you're ready to make an appearance, the Lounge, Casino and Library are waiting to be explored. Take some "you" time in the tranquil WindSpa . . . enjoy a dip in the pool . . . work off that decadent dessert in the Fitness Center . . . and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge to examine navigation charts with the Captain.
Windstar's yachts are large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
