Cruising Beyond Just Sightseeing
An intimate approach to the world's most iconic coasts, designed for those who value discovery over scale.

Every port chosen with intention. Every stop is worth the journey.
Windstar's intimate yachts slip into small harbors, tucked-away villages and hidden coves that larger yachts sail past without ever stopping. These are the places that define a destination — and they're exactly where Windstar takes you.

Windstar offers reduced solo traveler rates on select sailings, allowing you to put more of your budget towards experiences along the way. A crew that knows your name by day two, open decks that never feel crowded and fewer than 342 guests means it always feels personal.
