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. Exceptional, locally sourced culinary experiences from some of the most recognized chefs in the world. All this on beautifully appointed yachts, including the newly transformed Star Plus Class featuring more space, two new restaurants, new pool, and more.
