Dear Travel Advisor,
October is right around the corner, and exciting things are on the horizon at Windstar Cruises!
For those of you following along, it’s been a busy few months for all of us here at Windstar since our announcement in May that our fleet is expanding with two new ships.
Just a few weeks ago, we revealed the full list of inaugural voyages in the Caribbean, Alaska and Japan for Star Seeker, the first of our new yachts to debut. Despite being part of our Star Class, Star Seeker (and Star Explorer) come with a few keys differences that I’m excited to tell you more about here.
First, each ship will feature 112 spacious suites — down from the usual 156 on the rest of our Star Class — for an even more intimate private yacht–style experience. The ships will also come with our first-ever floor-to-ceiling infinity windows for stunning ocean views, as well as two Owner’s Suites with wrap-around balconies. Most of the remaining suites will feature full private verandas.
Star Seeker and Star Explorer will also come with a new complimentary specialty restaurant yet to be revealed, as well as a fresh version of our main restaurant Amphora — reimagined with al fresco seating.
On January 15, 2026, Star Seeker will set sail on an 8-night inaugural voyage in the Caribbean — a one-time only experience as the ship will not return once it crosses the Panama Canal toward Alaska.
It’s going to be a Caribbean season full of one-of-a-kind experiences, including a joint Signature Beach BBQ in Virgin Gorda with Wind Spirit and a sunset sailing past the Pitons in St. Lucia with Wind Spirit and Star Pride.
I can’t wait to see you and your clients there! Keep reading for more information on Star Seeker’s other destinations, and visit us on Advisor Hub to learn about our deployment offers, advisor toolkits and more.
