See, hear, smell, taste, and feel what it's like to sail on a lovely yacht into a small port, explore a hidden beach, see a parade of penguins, taste a spicy Norwegian Bacalao stew, and altogether lose yourself in a strange and wondrous culture. Windstar's small cruise ships and personalized approach bring you closer to each destination and every port and an unpretentious and relaxed ambiance onboard. Genuine, award-winning service that aims to surprise and delight and savvy travelers that you’ll soon form fast friendships with. Once-in-a-lifetime shore excursions and chatting with the Captain on the open Bridge. A Watersports Platform on the stern and Signature Expeditions launched right from the ship in the most remote regions.
