WINDSTAR VOYAGE COLLECTION

WE ARE PANACHE CRUISES

James Cole — one of the most recognized names in the cruise industry — launched Panache Cruises in 2020. Guided by one principle, ‘Nothing is too much trouble’, he wanted to disrupt the industry and do things differently.

Fast forward to the present day, and it’s exactly that ethos that still drives us forward. We exist to provide a world-class luxury cruising experience, from your first interaction with us, right through to your return from your cruise and beyond. We meet you where you are on your cruise journey, be that just browsing, ready to book or as one of our repeat Founders members on the search for your next luxury cruise.

We aim to inspire you with relevant, engaging and inspirational content, answering all your questions and needs before walking you through the booking process with a truly personal approach. We know you want to deal with an expert cruise connoisseur, dedicated to you — so that’s what we are. We know you want a truly unique experience, not a ready-made holiday, so we make that happen. We know you want unrivaled financial security and complete confidence that your money is in the right hands — and our ATOL-approved gives you just that. The list goes on.

The truth is, booking a luxury or ultraluxury cruise has been too difficult for too long, with archaic phone systems, multiple points of contact and significant amounts of time spent on hold. We take away all the fuss and put pleasure back at the centre of the process. We give you the luxury booking experience your luxury cruise deserves.

Your own personal CRUISE CONNOISSEUR

Our brilliant cruise connoisseurs are the lifeblood of Panache Cruises. They’re well-traveled, like-minded cruise fans, each a specialist in a different destination or type of cruise.

Some are hardy souls who prefer the adrenaline of an expedition cruise; others are laid-back and choose the luxury ocean life, relaxing on a cabana with a cold drink in their hand. All of them are lovely, engaging and willing to do whatever it takes to get your dream vacation booked.

You’ll only ever be assigned one cruise connoisseur. They’ll get to know you, understand exactly what you’re looking for and make personalized recommendations based on what you like. On average, each connoisseur has around 10 years of experience each, and between them they’ve got well over 100 years! The devil is in the detail, Nothing is too much trouble — however you want to say it — everything is taken care of with your luxury cruise booking by our cruise connoisseurs.

Our Founders programme rewards luxury cruisers

Our Founders rewards program gives you exclusive benefits and discounts when you book a luxury cruise with us. Collect points by booking luxury cruises with us and move up through the tiers from Bronze level all the way up to Platinum. Refer your friends to Panache Cruises, earn extra points, and then spend those points as cash value off your next cruise; 10,000 points is worth $100. All you need to do is make a booking with Panache Cruises and you’ll automatically become a Founders member with access to all these benefits.

• Free giveaways as you move through the Founders tiers

• Invitation to a full schedule of hosted Founders cruises

• Exclusive luxury cruise offers in your inbox regularly

• VIP access to events and ship visits

• Direct access to James Cole

You’ll also receive exclusive invitations to our Founders cruises, hosted by James Cole. He will share his love and passion for luxury cruising with you aboard some of the most beautiful ships sailing the Seven Seas. The main draw of these beautiful experiences is the sense of community felt on board amongst fellow passengers. You can choose to enjoy mealtimes together, explore ashore together, drink together and share stories in the evenings. You’ll make friends and memories that last a lifetime.

YOU CAN TRUST US

Head to our Trustpilot and you’ll see we’re 5.0-out-of-5.0 stars; the only UK cruise agency so highlyrated. You’ll find hundreds of glittering reviews about our cruise connoisseurs and the service they offer. We love that. Making you happy motivates us, giving us faith and justification in our hard work. We love that our customers choose us, time-and-again, as their luxury cruise agent.

Part of our difference is that we are industry insiders. We speak to our cruise line partners daily, keeping each other up-to-date with current goings-on. The benefit of such a strong relationship is that we can offer insights and prices you won’t find anywhere else. Our cruise line partners trust us; we even invited them to our staff parties!

We’re trustworthy too. The Travel Trust Association provides us with a trust account where all customer monies are paid until they are required to pay for your cruise holiday. Panache Cruises is also an ATOL-bonded travel company, which means your holiday, cash and all, is fully protected. You can absolutely rely on us with your luxury cruise holiday.

We’re rated Excellent ON

WELCOME

Dear World Traveler,

Whether you’re looking to get away from the crowds and find that perfect deserted beach, explore small ports most tourists have yet to discover, or spend time really getting to know locals and how they see the world, there’s no better way than on a small ship.

A small ship like ours lets you visit ports and islands that are still hidden gems, and see and do things most people may never have heard of. Plus, you’ll make lifelong friends along the way.

Our crew is eager to fill your days with surprise and delight. So pack your suitcase and join us as we journey together to discover just how special this world is.

See you onboard soon!

Christopher Prelog | President, Windstar Cruises

INTIMATE ACCESS to unspoiled beaches and unfamiliar cultures. Secluded coves and small villages. Misty fjords and medieval ruins. Shared conversations with locals that lead to genuine connections. Time and freedom to explore to your heart’s desire. When you’re on board a boutique yacht like ours with a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming crew, the world is within reach. This is travel that’s 180 degrees from ordinary.

BEYOND SAIL

ORDINARY

DISCOVER WINDSTAR’S DEGREES OF DIFFERENCE

Sail in private-yacht style with Windstar Cruises and experience firsthand what makes us the #1 Boutique Cruise Line in the world. Step aboard one of our iconic Wind Class yachts — complete with billowing white sails — or our Star Class ships, where every room is a spacious suite. Serving fewer then 350 guests, this intimacy provides you with the luxuries of time, space, and freedom to immerse yourself in both the journey and the destination — in ways you may never have imagined possible.

FROM UNFAMILIAR TO UNFORGETTABLE...

The hidden wonders, the ports of call, and the serene waterways that Windstar’s yachts can find. Enjoy port-intensive itineraries to places like Bora Bora, Amalfi, Mykonos — names you may have heard but have yet to experience the Windstar way. We often stay late into the evening or even overnight in places where the hum of nightlife is complemented by a blanket of stars overhead. These are the source of memories that will stay with you forever.

MORE THAN UNIQUE, SIMPLY

MAGICAL

LIKE A FRIEND WHO KNOWS THE BEST PLACES

Not only do we visit iconic cities, we also seek out those less-visited places that are on the map but not on the tips of travelers’ tongues. Windstar looks for destinations worthy of your time yet just out of the limelight — places where locals both go about their days and go on vacation, where you can still enjoy quiet beaches and busy market squares, and where authentic foods replace tourist fare. We then go beyond the ordinary, with exclusive Signature Beach Parties and onboard performances celebrating the local flavor and spirit.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE ONE DETAIL AT A TIME

We know the way to truly unforgettable travel experiences — and we couldn’t do it without the world’s most exceptional crew. For them, hospitality is more than a job; it’s their passion. And the more you enjoy your voyage, the more they enjoy serving you. They notice things others might not — your affection for turn-down chocolates, for instance, resulting in extra sweets magically appearing on your pillow. And they’ll be delighted to direct you to their favorite restaurants, beaches, and shops ashore so you can make the most of your time in port. It’s a talent that can’t be taught, because it comes straight from the soul.

WARM &

OUR STANDARD SERVICES ARE ANYTHING BUT STANDARD WELCOMING

We’re the only cruise line welcoming guests on to an Open Bridge, where they can pop in to watch the Captain and crew at work, and learn about chart navigation. Join our chef on market tours as they seek out local flavors and ingredients as they make their way from port to plate. And you won’t want to miss our exceptional Crew Talent Show, where our crew goes beyond their day jobs — it’s a guest favorite!

WE SURPRISE AND DELIGHT

One of the big benefits of our small yachts is how close they can get you to the types of authentic experiences you’re looking for. Smaller excursion groups, often led by local experts themselves, ensure deeper insider access behind intriguing local topics. Catch your own fish for sushi in Iceland. Sample tree-to-bar Grenadian chocolate as you explore a cacao farm in a former rum distillery. Our carefully curated onboard presenters further deepen and enhance your experiences with insight into the region’s different cultures.

CAREFULLY

KELLY HUBBARD

As Director of Product Development

Kelly’s focus is a global one, overseeing all shore excursions, destination engagement, enrichment, and pre- and post-cruise operations. When it comes to shore excursions, she’s tasked with ensuring our tour program is not simply “off the shelf” but is more hand curated. As Kelly puts it, “It’s important for our guests to understand that our tour experiences are created and tweaked just for them.”

BEHIND EVERY ITINERARY

MICHELE HANSON

Michele has over 15 years’ experience in the cruise and travel industry with a focus on product development and itinerary planning. She travels throughout Northern Europe, Canada & New England, and the Caribbean looking for the most unique and authentic tours — like an America’s Cup sailboat racing experience in St. Maarten or a helicopter glacier adventure in Norway.

MELISSA WITSOE

Senior Product Manager

Melissa Witsoe is our resident expert on the Mediterranean and the South Pacific. With more than 22 years of experience in the cruise and travel industry she knows what appeals to today’s traveler. Some of her favorite excursion finds include a gourmet experience in Sorrento, Italy, and a Cultures Through Cuisine Cruise Tour in Moorea. “As Product Managers we eat, tour, and travel with our local contacts to see what they don’t see because it’s part of their everyday life.”

TRAVIS LAMARCHE

Travis is our Global Operations Manager — supporting our Destination Team at sea and our Product Managers. It’s a role he’s well trained for, with a decade of experience at sea and over 15 years in the industry in areas from product development to public speaking. He’s a good listener, too. “My favorite part of my job is meeting and talking to guests, hearing why they love Windstar, and listening to their stories about past adventures.”

CURATED FOR CAREFREE ADVENTURES

THERE IS NO “TYPICAL” EXCURSION

RICKY TRAUTWEIN

Meet Product

Manager Ricky Trautwein. When it comes to developing Windstar-quality shore excursions in Spanish speaking countries, Ricky is our go-to guy. In college, he earned a degree in Spanish and studied abroad in Seville, where he fell in love with the country and the culture. That, plus his 10 years of experience in travel and hospitality, make him the perfect choice for coordinating in-depth cultural experiences in Central America, Iberia, and beyond.

Unless you think an excursion to try Viking sushi is typical, our shore excursions are incomparable, once-in-a-lifetime adventures. We will help you select shore experiences that are suited to you. On many voyages you’ll discover excursions to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so chosen for their outstanding cultural or natural value to humanity. Other opportunities focus on a region’s diverse and unique wildlife, or have been selected to appeal to foodies, history buffs and active adventurers. From archaeological wonders to regional wine tastings, discover an unparalleled way to experience other lands and see the world from a new perspective — designed by a team who have already been there and done that.

WE KNOW YOU’LL WANT TO GO, BECAUSE WE’VE ALREADY BEEN

We can promise you’ll enjoy truly authentic experiences, because we’ve personally vetted all our excursions for you first. Our Product Development Team travels to each destination and personally curates each shore excursion to make sure it makes the grade. We travel in small groups, so we can adjust tours in real time based on guest feedback, whether that means finding a different place for lunch or spending more time at a particularly fascinating historical site. We take the time and make the trip because we want your travels to be unforgettable.

LEARN WHAT LOCALS

KNOW

WINDSTAR’S SHORE EXCURSIONS

LET YOU GET TO THE HEART OF LOCAL CULTURES

You want to do more than see the sights — you want to invest all your senses and immerse yourself in local culture, just as a local would. That’s exactly what Windstar shore excursions are designed to do. Our excursions are created to provide authentic local experiences — the kind travelers, like you, are looking for. And with more than 2,000 curated excursions to choose from, you can experience your destination in whatever way is most meaningful to you. On each excursion, you’ll have ample opportunity to engage with locals and learn about the area from their point of view.

JUST WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR

Choosing the right excursion is easier than ever — just pick the tier that’s right for you.

ESSENTIALS COLLECTION

Essential excursions are for first-time visitors who want to see the must-see sights or get a panoramic overview of the area.

CONCIERGE COLLECTION

Concierge tours are hands-on experiences revolving around cultural and culinary themes. They’re limited to small groups, typically 6 to 16.

BEYOND ORDINARY COLLECTION

Beyond Ordinary offerings are just that — unique, exclusive, once-in-alifetime opportunities for the most discerning travelers.

MANY OF THE WORLD’S MOST CELEBRATED RESTAURANTS might call it madness to change their entire dinner menu every day. Madness? We simply call it the Windstar way. Many menus change daily, so you’ll never eat the same exact thing (unless you truly want to). Amphora’s menu also features dishes created by a James Beard Foundation affiliated chef who has sailed with us before. Our onboard chefs provide plant-based options at every meal and will often integrate fresh ingredients, spices, and flavors picked up in port during their trip to the local market. It’s just one more way we help you devour local life and community, and whet your appetite for travel.

GLOBAL FLAVORS FROM PORT

FABULOUS MEALS

DESERVE FABULOUS WINES

Peter Tobler, Windstar’s Director of Food & Beverage Operations, put his over 30 years of hospitality, travel, and cruise experience to work curating Windstar’s wine list, with a goal of including a variety of profile preferences, price points, and regions. The robust menu features 110+ wines from 92 wineries, 58 wine regions, 10 countries, including selections from places such as Argentina and Australia.

OUR VEGAN & VEGETARIAN CULINARY INNOVATIONS

This is your private yacht style cruise, so of course we offer delicious options for your dietary preferences and needs at every meal in every venue! Try veggie enchiladas, crispy kefta of lentil and beet, or chocolate delight cake to name a few of our wide variety of vegan and vegetarian innovations. This program rotates daily at each meal, so you’ll have plenty of choices and options that were developed specifically with your diet in mind.

PAIRING

FINE DINING HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE PILLARS OF THE WINDSTAR EXPERIENCE

Now guests can dine on dishes created by not just one celebrity chef, but by a list of all-stars recognized by the James Beard Foundation, an organization committed to celebrating, nurturing and honoring chefs and other leaders making America’s food culture more delicious, diverse and sustainable for everyone. This partnership also extends beyond the dining room to a wide range of culinary events and activities that help guests connect more intimately with local cultures.

The James Beard Foundation nominates and chooses winners of the James Beard Awards, referred to as the “Oscars” of the restaurant industry. As the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation, we’re able to work with some of the best chefs to create the extraordinary dishes on our nightly menu. Nearly four dozen chefs have sailed with us on our culinary-themed cruises.

You can slip past the crowds to discover smaller ports and get to know the local culture on more intimate excursions. We offer two different yacht styles — the sailing Wind and all-suite Star Class — with custom-crafted journeys that highlight their unique attributes, whether island-hopping in French Polynesia or cruising the Norwegian fjords. No wonder Windstar was voted one of the World’s Best small-ship ocean cruise lines by the readers of Travel + Leisure in 2024.

YOUR YACHT. YOUR CHOICE.

All staterooms and suites offer ocean views designed with scenic cruising in mind. Special touches such as L’Occitane® bath amenities, and waffle weave robes and slippers turn your room into a private oasis. With three world-class restaurants — Amphora, Veranda, and Candles — and the most personalized service at sea, you have everything you need right on board. Our yachts boast ample decks and a Watersports Platform that lets you jump right into the ocean.

PERFECT

THE YACHT FOR YOUR CRUISING STYLE

ALL-SUITE STAR YACHTS

We call them the all-suite Star yachts, because it takes everything guests love about private yacht-style cruising to the next level. We are excited to announce the addition of all-suite Star Seeker and Star Explorer to our fleet. Both ships serve just 224 guests and feature more balconies, floor-to-ceiling infinity windows, and wrap-around balconies for the Horizon Owner’s Suites.

Star Breeze, Star Legend, and Star Pride feature spacious ocean view suites of 277 square feet or more for the standard stateroom. Each serves only 312 travelers per voyage, ensuring thoughtful, genuine service thanks to a high crew-to-guest ratio. Dine at a specialty restaurant and an al fresco global grill. Lounge in the elevated infinity pool that serves as the centerpiece of our deck and relax in the World Spa by Windstar with locally inspired treatments.

With the iconic white sails billowing in the wind, bringing guests back to the true romance of sailing, these are the classic sailing yachts for which Windstar is known.

An abundance of wide-open decks and elegant outdoor spaces make our three Wind yachts the perfect way to experience warm seas and tropical breezes.

Undergoing a refresh in December 2024 , Wind Surf is a 5-masted sailing vessel, serving up to 342 guests. Wind Star and Wind Spirit each serve just 148 guests — designed to sail quietly past larger cruise ships and into secret lagoons and near the most secluded beaches.

GETTING YOU THERE EFFORTLESSLY

Traveling is about discovery, but the last thing you want to discover is that you accidentally booked a red-eye flight or a hotel that’s miles from the action. Let Windstar handle all the logistics for you and enjoy peace of mind knowing everything from hotels to travel protection has been checked off your to-do list.

PRE- AND POST-CRUISE HOTEL PROGRAM

Extend your Windstar experience with pre- or post-cruise hotels, for seamless convenience and curated excellence. Book the hotel for any number of nights — or just for the day, so it fits your travel plans. Enjoy exclusive access to hand-selected, stunning accommodations, superior rooms, and exceptional service, choosing from some of the finest hotel offerings.

PEACE OF MIND TRAVEL PROTECTION

When you’re on vacation you want to relax, not worry, and that’s what our Travel Protection is all about. Get a cash refund up to the total cost of your cruise if you have to cancel your trip for illness, injury, and more. And get future cruise credits good for up to 90% of your cruise value

if you have to cancel for any other reason. You’ll also be covered for unexpected expenses like meals and hotel should you be delayed getting to or from your trip, emergency evacuation, lost luggage, incidentals if your luggage is delayed, and more. Travel Protection covers you worldwide, and is a great way to ensure that you’re protected from the unexpected.

TRANSFERS

Make your travel smooth and seamless with optional transfers between the airport, hotel, and pier before and after your cruise. You’ll get where you’re going without getting taken for a ride, and travel in an air-conditioned vehicle that’s comfortable and safe.

LOCAL PRESENTATIONS

&

PERFORMANCES

BROUGHT ON BOARD JUST FOR

YOU

You didn’t just come here for the pictures, you came to experience other cultures in personal ways that enhance your understanding — and we don’t think those interactions should end at the gangplank. That’s why we continue your cultural immersion beyond your time in port, bringing local performers and destination-savvy presenters on board to share their culture, knowledge, art, and more through engaging performances and one-of-a-kind, hands-on workshops.

Learn About Their Music

Music offers a melodic insight into cultures, and when local musicians from a steel drum band to French trio complete with an accordion join us for special performances during your cruise, you just might find yourself humming their tunes long after you’ve returned home.

Learn About Their Culture

From their traditions to their folklore, get a real feel for Ireland and its people from the songs and stories these local performers grew up with. Get an intimate look at how Dubliners view their own culture.

Learn Their Ancient Arts

Learn to make your own lei, given as a symbol of hospitality and welcome when you arrive in Tahiti.

Listen to a tattoo master explain the traditional process of determining the design for a tattoo and what it meant to mark his body.

TRAVELING SOLO

YOUR PRIVATE RETREAT

Vacations are meant to be relaxing, a time to do what you want when you want and be as private or social as you like. Having a stateroom all to yourself lets you do just that, and on Windstar, you can enjoy the ultimate “me time” for just 175% of double occupancy rates (excluding Premium Suites) or lower for selected departures.

YOUR VACATION, YOUR WAY

Whether you’re traveling with family or going by yourself, the extra space and freedom of a private stateroom takes your well-earned escape to the next level. Sleep in late and enjoy a leisurely room service breakfast. Immerse yourself in that delicious novel. Spend time paddleboarding off the yacht’s Watersports Platform or go on a shore excursion, then retreat to the peace and quiet of your private sanctuary. And if you choose to participate, there’s even a special dinner on board for solo guests so you can get acquainted with others who share your independent spirit and love of travel. It’s the vacation you deserve with all of Windstar’s signature hospitality and amenities, and more affordable than you may expect.

SPARK ROMANCE

MAKE UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES TOGETHER

Windstar and romance go together as naturally as beaches and sunshine.

The romance of being under sail, the intimate yachts. Open deck space to find your own private nook. Windstar is continually recognized as the most romantic cruise line. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a first or second honeymoon, a vow renewal, an anniversary or a vacation surprise, Windstar provides romantic moments and unforgettable memories.

MAKE IT EXTRAORDINARY

Our onboard team helps you add personalized touches including a vow renewal ceremony, romantic shore excursions, and thoughtful gifts.

Starstruck and Starstruck

Beachside Couple Massages WE ALSO OFFER:

The sails on Windstar’s three Wind Class ships aren’t just for show. They help us improve fuel efficiency and propel guests to some of the most romantic destinations on Earth — places like French Polynesia, Greece, and Italy.

LEGENDARY HOSPITALITY WITH A SOFTER

CRUISING INTO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

As a small-ship cruise line with wind-powered ships, Windstar is already ahead of the curve on sustainability. With no more than 342 guests, our yachts have less impact on the environment and the communities we visit. Still, we continually assess and improve our environmental practices to make the planet cleaner and greener.

Some initiatives are large, like replacing engines with more efficient ones. And some may seem small, like polishing our propellers twice a year for peak efficiency. But when it comes to protecting the world’s natural surroundings, even small changes add up.

REDUCING OUR USE OF FOSSIL FUELS

Innovations in maritime technologies offer many opportunities to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and Windstar is working to incorporate these into our fleet. Our all-suite Star Class yachts have new engines that use cleaner-burning fuel with lower sulfur content to minimize environmental impact. This reduces fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions by about 20% per passenger nautical mile. We’re painting the hulls of our ships with a special paint that reduces drag and increases efficiency by up to 3%.

The Windstar fleet is surrounded by seawater, yet we’re keenly aware of the importance of maintaining precious water resources for generations to come. Although seawater is not drinkable, our yachts have efficient equipment for reliably creating potable water onboard. We also encourage guests to conserve by reusing towels before having them laundered. SAILS FOR SUSTAINABILITY

WINDSTAR’S HOSPITALITY IS LEGENDARY,

from staff who welcome you by name to waiters who bring your favorite beverage before you even ask. And we show that same consideration to the planet we all share, because protecting the beautiful places and oceans we visit just makes sense.

Other ways we reduce fuel consumption include increasing the use of ship sails and strategically planning itineraries. We’ve also implemented lighting upgrades and HVAC enhancements to reduce energy use onboard.

SAVING FRESH WATER FOR A RAINY DAY

FOOTPRINT

KEEPING TRASH OUT OF LANDFILLS

Conservation is not just about reducing consumption, it’s about reducing waste, and we have a number of initiatives to reduce, reuse, and recycle. These include replacing paper documents with e-documents, eliminating single-serving amenity containers in staterooms, more accurately forecasting food consumption and supplies, asking suppliers to reduce packaging, and working with local communities to ensure we fully comply with local garbage segregation requirements.

SAYING NO TO SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

We have also drastically reduced single-use plastics, eliminating plastic bottles from our staterooms and restaurants, and reducing the use of straws, cups, and other plastic items.

LEAVING THE OCEAN BETTER THAN

WE FOUND IT

Of course there are other forms of waste, and we work hard to reduce those as well. We upgraded our wastewater treatment systems, use environmentally acceptable lubricants where feasible, and use biodegradable, environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. We also removed all onboard incinerators to eliminate air emissions.

Windstar employees add to our corporate efforts by volunteering in beach clean-up days in both Seattle and Miami. Even our guests take part, adding their “adopt a coral” donations to our own donation to an NGO called Coral Gardeners that’s working to replant healthy corals where reefs are struggling. (See page 61 for details.)

FOOD

THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND THE PLANET

Being gentle on the environment can also mean changing what you eat, since a plant-based diet saves water and reduces greenhouse gasses. For those who favor vegan meals, we now offer a plant-based, gluten-free menu prepared without added salt, oil or sugar. We created offerings that are both nutritious and delicious, and are excited to add these to our standard and vegetarian menu choices.

WE MAY NOT BE BIG, BUT WE CAN STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

In the overall scheme of things our efforts to protect the planet may not make waves, but we believe every ripple counts.

CRUISING IS THE IDEAL WAY to experience coastal areas and port towns. But sometimes there are highlights inland that call your name too, in regions you may only get to once in a lifetime. Windstar Cruise Tours offer the perfect solution, combining your favorite cruise itineraries with adventures further afield to must-see places like Meteora and Lake Como. Best of all, you can rely on Windstar to handle all of your Cruise Tour’s land logistics with the same care and attention to detail they show on your cruise, including tickets to attractions, land transportation, hotel accommodations, select meals, and more.

BEST SEE THE

WE’VE CURATED THESE CRUISE TOURS to show off the very best of a region, and have personally vetted every selection to make sure it’s up to Windstar standards. In some cases we even include meals in particularly noteworthy restaurants that do a great job featuring local cuisine.

When you’ve already traveled a long distance to see a region, it only makes sense to make the most of the opportunity. Let a Windstar Cruise Tour make that task effortless, just like it is on your Windstar cruise.

THEY CAME IN OUTRIGGER CANOES

not knowing what lay ahead. Navigating by sun, moon, and stars, they arrived in these far-flung islands and developed cultures that continue to astound. Fijians who walk on fire. Huahine’s stone fish traps still in use after hundreds of years. They pushed on further still — to remote islands in the Tuamotus where copra and pearl farming are still a way of life, to Rarotonga, the source of Māori culture, and to the Marquesas, known for its ethereal landscape and its rich culture. Feel the tingle of kava on your lips and realize these cultures are so much deeper and richer than you ever imagined.

• Attend an exclusive Destination Discovery Event: Our Bora Bora Celebration on a lovely motu, complete with Tahitian fire dancers and local foods

Fakarava Biosphere Reserve – Here is a rare opportunity to experience one of earth’s most beautiful — and most remote — places. Fakarava’s ecosystem is so diverse it has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a world of magnificent cauliflower coral, sleek grey sharks, and neon schools of tropical fish. On shore, bougainvillea-lined roads lead past historic lighthouses and small villages. And with only 800 residents, most of them pearl and copra (coconut) farmers, you’ll find plenty of secluded beaches you can call your own.

• Spend more time exploring with overnights in Lautoka, Fiji and Bora Bora

• Enjoy a personal set of snorkeling gear, yours to use throughout your cruise

• Continue your Polynesian immersion onboard with our cultural ambassador who teaches ukelele, how to speak Tahitian, and make leis

Savusavu, Fiji – Known as “the hidden paradise of Fiji,” beautiful Savusavu with its abundance of waterfalls, hiking trails, rainforests and black pearls, has recently been realized to be a tourist hotspot. The shabby-chic main street is a hodgepodge of eclectic watering holes, a bustling market, and a variety of shops and cosmopolitan restaurants. Find a black pearl farm, see the Vuadomo and Nakawaga Waterfalls or kayak, snorkel, sail, fish or take an easy hike. Bula!

THE SOUTH PACIFIC’S scattered island nations bring to mind the breathtaking beaches and peacock-colored lagoons of Tahiti, but they also contain the most diverse indigenous cultures in the world. Come with us as we travel beyond the packaged resorts to experience a world few get to see. Go back to the way things used to be on Tonga or Savusavu, with no crowds, only twinkling stars at night, and a pace of life many yearn for. Discover villages that still follow traditional ways of life on Rangiroa or Tonga. Explore small Fijian communities and the untouched cultural centers of the Marquesas. Add context to the postcard images the South Pacific is known for.

FEATURED SHORE EXCURSIONS:

Tahaa: Tahaa Vanilla Plantation & Snorkeling – Tahaa, a flower-shaped island that’s as fragrant as it is beautiful. Often called “the vanilla island,” Tahaa produces 80 percent of all Tahitian vanilla in a labor-intensive process that will make you appreciate all the more its delicious aromatic flavor. Boat across the lagoon to a small family plantation and learn how it’s done, from hand-pollinating the orchid blossoms (which only live for 6 hours) to hand-massaging and aging the beans — a process that can take up to 9 months.

Moorea: Photographer’s Eye View of Moorea – Believed to have been the inspiration for James Michener’s Bali Hai, and today, you’ll learn how to capture that beauty under the tutelage of an accomplished professional photographer. Journey into the stunning interior by 4x4 and on foot, skirting large pineapple fields, beautiful gardens and a turquoise-blue lagoon. Some of your favorite shots may come from some unusual places, like Papetoai fishing village, Haapiti Catholic Church, or the interior of Moorea Crater.

DREAMS OF TAHITI

PAPEETE TO PAPEETE | 7 NIGHTS

A graceful yacht is the perfect way to experience the true wonder of Tahiti. We’ll visit one legendary island after another, with plenty of casual time to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear lagoons, meander through lush rainforests, and experience the fascinating Polynesian culture from tikis to tiare flowers.

HARVEST YOUR OWN BLACK PEARL

We were transported from the yacht on the island of Raiatea to a local boat wharf, and taken by skiff to an over-water reef house. Our group was met with cold Hinano (local) beer and fresh slices of coconut, to further herald our arrival to this outpost of stunning, 360 degree beauty. Our guide, Summer Rotu, a San Diego native who manages Anapa Pearl Farm, then gave us a lesson in how pearls are farmed, what goes in to creating such lovely and unique jewelry, and how the cultivation of black pearls is a major part of the economy in French Polynesia.

COMPLIMENTARY WINDSTAR DESTINATION DISCOVERY EVENT

BORA BORA: CELEBRATION FESTIVAL

Windstar Exclusive: Guests on every Windstar Tahiti cruise are treated to a complimentary Bora Bora Celebration Festival on a lovely private motu, complete with Tahitian fire dancers and local cuisine.

WELCOME TO YOUR MAGICAL MOTU. The enchantment begins as you step ashore to receive a fragrant flower lei, and continues as you feast on a menu carefully chosen by Windstar’s executive chef – delicious barbecue favorites plus traditional island dishes like poisson cru and po’e.

Summer then outfitted our small group with snorkel equipment, and we were set loose to explore the underwater workings of a pearl farm. Summer then announced the most exciting game of “hide and seek” we’d ever played: she’d hidden four oysters, all which might contain a black pearl, around the reef house. We dove, splashed, and delighted in finding our oysters, eager to see what was inside.

The pearl grafter (who works to inseminate oysters and harvest their pearls) then opened our treasures, and we were all delighted at what we found. Our pearls were beautiful, many quite large and unique in their coloring with the rarest of “bronzes” eliciting many oooh’s and aaah’s.

Go inland and combine the best of the land and sea with the Overwater Bungalow & Tahitian Paradises Cruise Tour (see page 49), or the Tahiti & Moorea Cultures Through Cuisine Cruise Tour (see page 48).

Following our treasure-filled time at the reef house, we boarded the skiff again, this time taken out towards the reef where we watched black-tipped sharks feeding. The sunset was approaching, so our boat turned back to the shore as we

marveled at our spectacular day and the luminescent souvenirs that would remind us of the moment forever.

When the sun goes down, the curtain rises and you are whisked back to the days of old when fire dancers from mountain villages used war clubs in their performances to demonstrate their prowess in battle.

LISTEN TO THE FIRE TALK . Fire dancing is found throughout the world, but perhaps nowhere has it taken on greater significance than in the South Pacific. With no written language, early Polynesians relied on oral traditions and dance to pass on their heritage. Ancient fire dances were also often a part of pre-battle rituals, helping warriors prepare for the combat ahead.

The speed and acrobatic prowess of the performers takes your breath away as they write messages to the gods against the night sky. The beating fa’atete drums quicken your pulse, and the heat is so intense you can feel it even from 10 feet away.

As the performance ends you are left in awe, with memories burning as bright as the dancing flames.

Take in the Māori culture as you interact with Cook Island natives, while English is widely spoken in the islands, the official language is Cook Islands Māori. Sip cool refreshments on a scenic sunset cruise across Bora Bora’s shallow lagoon waters prior to an overnight port stay, or check into romantic bungalows on the beach at one of the most popular island resorts. Sample fragrant Tahaa vanilla at a plantation or snorkel amid curious stingrays and docile reef sharks. Explore stone temples and archaeological sites on Huahine, or board an outrigger canoe bound for a remote motu islet where you’ll learn how to cook up a local lunch with a side of relaxing warm, sandy beachfront.

• T he most thrilling diving and snorkeling in the Tuamotu chain is drift diving, a Zen-like experience where you float along with the current. This allows you to conserve energy and concentrate on the scenery going by.

• While colorful reef fish are plentiful, French Polynesia is renowned for its big marine animals. And if you’re into sharks, this is simply one of the best dive destinations in the world.

TATTOOS TELL THE TALE

Although it didn’t originate here, tattoo art has been a tradition for a long time in Polynesia, especially in the Marquesas. Each island group has its own motifs, and are used to tell visual stories, often covering large areas of the body. These tattoos are seen as a form of cultural preservation, a way to honor ancestors, and a means of connecting with traditional Marquesan practices.

THE MARQUESAS: A REMOTE POLYNESIAN TREASURE

If you’re looking for a tropical South Pacific paradise far removed from tourists and overwater bungalows, an island where people are scarce, visitors are few, and old Polynesian ways live on, look no further than the marvelous Marquesas.

This is one of the most remote and untouched archipelagos in the world, 1,400 miles from its nearest neighbor. And if you add up the entire population scattered across half a dozen islands, it’s still well shy of 10,000. No wonder the Marquesas offer a pristine environment and authentic culture that most people never get to experience.

FROZEN IN TIME

These are the unspoiled South Seas islands that storytellers like Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson and Thor Heyerdahl wrote about, with stunning landscapes of steep mountains, deep valleys, and secluded beaches. And thanks to their isolation, life here gives you a rare glimpse into Polynesia’s past.

Art forms such as woodcarving, stone carving, tattooing, and

weaving are important expressions of Marquesan culture, with their own unique style.

These are the unspoiled South Seas islands

FROM HANDICRAFTS TO FINE ART

All of the Marquesas islands are rich with culture, but each one offers something different.

The picturesque island, Fatu Hiva, has a stunning natural beauty that has inspired artists for centuries. It’s famous for its traditional arts and crafts, particularly woodcarving and tapa cloth. The painstaking process of turning tree bark into fabric has been passed down through the generations and is incredible to watch.

On Hiva Oa, learn about Marquesan culture from carving to music, dance and language at the many cultural centers on the island, or visit the

ancient ceremonial village of Taaoa.

The best-known cultural site, though, relates to the artist Paul Gauguin, who lived here the last few years of his life.

Nuku Hiva offers an abundance of historical sites, ancient archaeological remains, and sacred marae. Feel the mana (spiritual power) as you stand next to giant banyan trees wrapped around ancient temples and ceremonial platforms, and browse the small but well-curated collection at the Marquesan Museum.

A RARE

DESTINATION, A RARE OPPORTUNITY

In the Marquesas islands, you can immerse yourself in authentic Polynesian culture in surroundings that are both beautiful and delightfully undiscovered. There isn’t much infrastructure for scheduled tours or even transportation to the island. Windstar knows the way to allow you to experience this off-the-beatenpath adventure that would be nearly impossible to experience otherwise.

TAHITIAN TREASURES & MAGNIFICENT MARQUESAS

PAPEETE TO PAPEETE | 1 4 NIGHTS

Go beyond a typical Tahiti cruise during this island odyssey throughout French Polynesia and the remote Marquesas Islands. Follow in the creative footsteps of Symbolist artist Paul Gauguin as you explore his former home on Hiva Oa, then run your fingers along the hand-hewn surfaces of the largest Tiki sculptures found anywhere in the Pacific. Journey to Fakarava’s lagoon, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve teeming with seabirds and vibrant tropical fish. Admire colorful coral gardens from your glass-bottom boat near Tiputa on Rangiroa. Swim with playful manta rays and docile black-tipped reef sharks in Bora Bora’s Blue Lagoon prior to a romantic starlit overnight port stay. Trek along Moorea’s rolling Opunohu Valley trail past fruit plantations and through an exotic hardwood forest on your way to majestic views of Mount Mouaroa, Mount Rotu and Mount Tohiea — three of the highest summits in the Society Islands.

VOYAGE HIGHLIGHTS

• Luxuriate in a delightful overnight in Bora Bora, a unique island paradise

• O vernight in Papeete with time to peruse the lively Marche de Papeete and dine on Polynesian cuisine

• On remote Fatu Hiva learn about the art of making tapa, a beautiful cloth made from the bark of banyan, breadfruit and mulberry trees

DAYS 1/2 • PAPEETE, TAHITI, FRENCH POLYNESIA

Relax on sunny beaches, sample Tahitian fare, and take in the effervescent spirit of the city. But whatever you do, save time — and luggage space — for shopping. Black pearls and colorful crafts fill the market and local treasures are so plentiful you’ll have trouble making your choices but you won’t be bothered with large crowds and big tour groups because French Tahiti is only accessible to small ships like ours.

DAY 3 • FAKARAVA, FRENCH POLYNESIA

• V isit the Calvaire Cemetery where both Paul Gauguin and Jacques Brel are buried on Hiva Oa

• Explore the rich ecosystem of Fakarava, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with some of the best diving in the South Pacific

• Celebrate at Windstar’s Destination Discovery Event and fun-filled Signature Onboard Barbecue

• A mong the sites to see on Nuku Hiva is the charming Eglise Des Sacres Coeurs

DAY 5 • OMOA, FATU HIVA, MARQUESAS, FRENCH POLYNESIA

DAY 6 • ATUONA, HIVA OA, MARQUESAS, FRENCH POLYNESIA

Art has always been a way of life on Hiva Oa. Paul Gauguin painted it, Jacques Brel sang about it, and ancient artisans carved petroglyphs and giant stone tikis in honor of it. And how could you not be inspired? The colors are intense and magical, from psychedelic hibiscus flowers to fluorescent green palms and black sand beaches. And even the Calvaire Cemetery where Gauguin and Brel are buried offers frame-worthy views. Browse the Gauguin Museum for a look at the artist’s work, or ponder puzzling tikis like the forest dweller with a Mona Lisa smile.

DAY 7 • TAIOHAE, NUKU HIVA, MARQUESAS, FRENCH POLYNESIA

by beautiful coral and filled with colorful fish, rays, and dolphin is a diver’s dream. Explore, with an optional tour, in a glass bottom boat, take a dive that matches your level of expertise, or enjoy the magic of drift snorkeling. This is a place like no other on earth.

DAY 10 • AT SEA

DAY 11 • MOTU MAHAEA (TAHAA), FRENCH POLYNESIA

Destination Discovery Event on a private motu complete with fire dancers. This is the stuff that dreams are made of and available to small ships.

DAY 14 • COOK’S BAY, MOOREA, FRENCH POLYNESIA

Here is a rare opportunity to experience one of earth’s most rare and beautiful places. Fakarava, a place so stunning, an ecosystem so diverse it has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This diver’s paradise welcomes you to a world of magnificent cauliflower coral, sleek grey sharks, and neon schools of tropical fish. This “Island of Dreams” is home to rare species of nesting birds and rare marine life living in tranquil harmony.

DAY 4 • AT SEA

Fatu Hiva is wildly beautiful, with jungle greenery plunging straight down into the splashing surf. This is the most remote and isolated of the three islands we’ll visit in the Marquesas, reachable only by sea – a fact that has helped keep both nature and the culture of this island pure and authentic. Lush rainforests teem with endemic species, and marine life is prolific. And although there are only 650 people on the island, they preserve traditional skills that have been long forgotten elsewhere, such as how to make tapa cloth from tree bark. It’s a secret they’ll be happy to share during your stay here.

Taiohae has only 1,700 residents but it’s the “big city” by Marquesas standards. Buildings seldom rise above sailboat mast height and there aren’t any traffic lights because there isn’t much traffic. What you will find here, though, are spectacular scenery from basalt peaks to waterfalls, exceptionally warm, friendly people, and numerous ancient marae sacred sites that resonate with powerful mana.

DAY 8 • AT SEA

DAY 9 • TIPUTA, RANGIROA, FRENCH POLYNESIA

Some people call this place heaven. You will call it perfect. The huge lagoon surrounded

We will spend the day on a private island complete with swaying palm trees and white-sand beaches. Swim, snorkel and enjoy a variety of water sports in the crystal-clear waters. There will be a delicious barbecue lunch and tropical drinks waiting for you. Explore Tahaa with optional excursions to discover the vanilla plantations and sacred sites of the island.

DAYS 12/13 • VAITAPE, BORA BORA, FRENCH POLYNESIA (OVERNIGHT)

Our stay here allows plenty of time to capture the beauty in photographs — and you’ll want plenty. These stunning waters will show a different kaleidoscope of blue in each frame. You’ll have lots of options for exploration, whether you prefer the access provided by a 4-by-4, or the thrill of riding in the open air. Stretch out on stunning white-sand beaches, dive and swim in brightly colored seas, or sail among the tiny islands and lagoons. But the highlight here will be the Windstar Exclusive

DEPARTURE DATES: Star Breeze : Mar 27; Jun 19; Sep 18, 2025; Mar 26, 2026

Welcome to paradise, where your stunning surroundings soak up superlatives and call for more. In our stay here you’ll have plenty of time to do it all. Be sure to consider the opportunity to hone your photography talents on an optional tour of the island in the company of a professional photographer. Your choices here are endless. Hike the majestic Three Coconut Trail. Visit dolphins in their native habitat. Or spend your time swimming and kayaking from Star Breeze’s Watersports Platform as we lay at anchor in these beautiful sapphire seas.

DAY 15 • PAPEETE, FRENCH POLYNESIA

Thanks to its supply of fresh water, Papeete has long been a gathering place – the name means “water basket.” Today it’s the main population center of the Polynesian islands. The bustling city meets the sea on a long, walkable waterfront. Peruse the lively Marche de Papeete, where local venders sell food and handicrafts, and dine at enticing restaurants serving French and Polynesian cuisine. Popular local dishes include poisson cru (raw fish with coconut milk and lime).

RESTORING THE OCEAN, ONE CORAL AT A TIME

Titouan Bernicot was raised on a pearl farm on a remote coral atoll in the northern Tuamotu Archipelago and moved to Moorea when he was three, so the sea has always been his home. Coral reefs offered sustenance, recreation, his family’s livelihood … everything that was dear to him.

At 16, Bernicot discovered his first bleached coral and realized the entire ecosystem was threatened.The shock and heartbreak of that moment drove him to research the causes of coral bleaching, and sparked his passion to save the world’s coral.

The NGO he founded in 2017, Coral Gardeners, chooses corals that are more resilient to climate change and raises them in an undersea nursery before transplanting them to damaged parts of the reef through an “adopt a coral” program. They also work to raise awareness. To date, the organization has planted more than 31,000 corals.

I n 2021, Bernicot became a National Geographic Explorer and was recognized by the United

Nations at the Young Activists Summit in Geneva. Later, he was also awarded as part of the Explorers Club, class of 2023.

As a Windstar guest, you can now be a part of that story.

WINDSTAR & CORAL GARDENERS: Planting the Seeds of Change

Windstar has been sailing to Tahiti for 35 years, and the health of its delicate ecosystem has always been important to us. That’s why we support the efforts of Coral Gardeners and encourage our guests to do the same.

As a Windstar guest, you can now be a part of that story. they’ll receive a unique coral adoption card in their room as a memento of their contribution to restoring the beautiful coral reefs they’re enjoying on their Tahiti cruise.

To that end, all guests sailing on Windstar cruises to French Polynesia will have the option to adopt a coral from Coral Gardeners for a donation of $35 per person. In exchange,

Tuamotu Archipelago

THE JAPANESE, PERHAPS more than most, find beauty in simplicity and the everyday. The act of sharing tea becomes a performance, cuisine is as much about presentation as preparation, and even broken things become art through concepts like wabi-sabi , which honors imperfection and transience. Respect, harmony, and connection to nature are key, and you may find yourself with a renewed sense of mindfulness as you look at the world as they do: stare up at ancient, gnarled pine trees so sacred they’ve been given names, gaze across reflective waters at vermillion torii gates, and give meditation a try as you “sand bathe” in naturally heated volcanic sands while listening to the hypnotic sound of the waves.

• Takamatsu, Japan

• Tokyo, Japan

• S hingu, Japan

• Nagasaki, Japan

• S cenic cruising of the Inland Sea

SET COURSE FOR the Seto Inland Sea, Japan’s secret Mediterranean, where rustic islands boast forgotten shrines and picturesque water towns. Discover the breadth of Japan from tranquil Edo-period gardens to neon cities and fluttering paper cranes. And let Japan’s incredible culture wash over you, igniting your senses and stirring your soul. Collect so many perfect memories. Your first glimpse of Mt. Fuji’s uncanny symmetry. The ”stairway to heaven” shrines of Shingu, set above a mist-shrouded valley and the tallest waterfall in Japan. Kagoshima castle town with its signature volcano and samurai district so meticulously preserved it’s unblemished by telephone poles or parked cars. The “ghost island” of Hashima with its haunting coal legacy, Nagasaki and Hiroshima with theirs. Fill the time in between with infinite precious moments, from biting into perfect Udon noodles or fork-tender Kobe beef to soaking in an open-air onsen

LAND OF THE

RISING SUN

• Visit in September and October when the weather begins to cool and popular attractions are less busy

WHY WINDSTAR’S JAPAN: cities like Hiroshima and Tokyo along with smaller, more traditional ports like Takamatsu

• See what the real Japan is all about as you visit iconic

FEATURED PORTS:

Hiroshima, Japan – Largely destroyed by an atomic bomb during WWII, Hiroshima today is a modern city that honors its past. Fold a paper crane to leave at the Atomic Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit Hiroshima Castle to see three trees that survived the bombing that destroyed the castle itself. Or head to Miyajima, one of the most scenic spots in Japan, for a look at the vermilion Itsukushima Shrine that appears to float in the sea — yet another World Heritage Site.

• Enjoy scenic cruising of Japan’s Seto Inland Sea, a captive ocean filled with islands, bridges, fishing villages, and shrines

• Experience Japanese culture firsthand – slurping ramen noodles, soaking in Japanese onsen, and participating in traditional tea ceremonies

• Sample local specialties like Takamatsu’s famous udon noodles and Kobe beef

• Head inland to Kobe on a Cruise Tour to see the Golden Pavilion and the bamboo forest

Shingu, Japan – Pilgrims have been climbing the Kii Mountain Range for a thousand years, but few visitors to Japan even know about the trio of sacred shrines that compose this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The most striking, Kumanonachi Taisha, includes a fiery orange pagoda posing next to Nachi Falls, the tallest waterfall in Japan. A bright vermilion torii gate heralds the steep 538-step climb to Kamikura-jinja Shrine, nestled beneath an enormous boulder halfway up Mt. Gongenyama. This is where the gods are said to have first descended to earth, and the view is truly heavenly.

FEATURED SHORE EXCURSIONS:

Shimizu: Mount Fuji Cultural Experience – Cultural rituals, traditional aesthetics, and an appreciation of nature are all important facets of the Japanese experience, and today you’ll sample them all. Begin in the quaint fishing town of Yui where the Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum displays more than 1,300 iconic landscape woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e, hugely popular during the Edo period. Participate in a traditional tea ceremony at Yui Honjin Park before making your way to Miho-no-Matsubara for dramatic views of Mount Fuji and a magnificently twisted 650-year-old Japanese black pine.

Takamatsu: Udon Making Experience and Garden –Sanuki is the old name of Kagawa Prefecture, a region famous for its udon noodles, popular noodles made from wheat flour. This area has more udon restaurants per capita than anywhere else in Japan, and foodies travel here from all over to taste the recipe brought from China centuries ago. First, work up your appetite with a stroll through beautiful Ritsurin Garden, awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan. Then, roll up your sleeves and try making the signature dish for yourself at Nakano Udon School.

This castle town with its signature Sakurajima Volcano dates to the 14th century. Time-travel back to the days of the samurai in Chiran’s picturesque samurai district, its views unsullied by telephone poles or parked cars. Go “sand bathing” in the naturally heated sands of Ibusuki.

HASHIMA

ISLAND/NAGASAKI

Cruise around the island of Hashima, abandoned over 50 years ago when the coal mining that flourished there suddenly ran out. The mining company shut the mine down and the island has been a ghost town ever since.

DAY 7 • BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA

Hot springs, 1,500-year-old Tongdosa Temple, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Gyeongju — once the capital of the Shila Kingdom — are just a few highlights of South Korea’s second-largest city. For something different, visit Gamcheon Culture Village where terraced homes pour over the slopes like a rainbow-hued waterfall.

DAY 8 • KARATSU, JAPAN

Located on the island of Kyushu, Karatsu is one of the closest Japanese cities to the Korean Peninsula. Karatsu Castle is the main attraction here. Built in 1608, it houses a museum of the castle’s history and Karatsu ceramics. Karatsu is also known for its pottery which can be viewed at the Karatsuyaki Pottery Gallery. Also worth visiting is the Karatsu Hikiyama Exhibition Hall which displays the 14 floats used in the annual Karatsu Kunchi Festival in November.

DAY 9 • HIROSHIMA, JAPAN

Fold a paper crane to leave at the Atomic Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit Hiroshima Castle to see three trees that survived the bombing that destroyed the castle itself. Or head to Miyajima, one of the most scenic spots in Japan, for a look at the vermilion Itsukushima Shrine floating in the sea — yet another World Heritage Site.

DAY 10 • TAKAMATSU, JAPAN

The main gateway to Shikoku Island and an important focal point for the island’s rail and road transit systems, Takamatsu, on Japan’s scenic Inland Sea, has been a political and economic center since the Edo period. Among the attractions here is Ritsurin Garden, created during the Edo period, and especially popular during spring for the cherry blossoms and autumn for the fall foliage. Takamatsu Symbol Tower has several observation decks providing panoramic views of the sea and landscapes.

DAY 11 • KOBE, JAPAN

Kobe is the 6 th largest city in Japan and famous for its signature marbled beef. The Ikuta Shrine there is among Japan’s oldest shrines, dating back to the 3rd century.

DAY 12 • KYOTO, JAPAN

Two more UNESCO World Heritage Sites are included today. Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) shines even on an overcast day with its gold leaf exterior. Back in Japan’s feudal era, nearby Nijo Castle housed the visiting shogun, protected by an ancient security system known as “nightingale floors” that squeak if intruders approach. End the day at a local machiya (townhouse) in Kyoto where you can try on a kimono as you learn their history and attend a traditional tea ceremony.

(Includes overnight at Intercontinental Osaka, breakfast, and lunch.)

FOLLOW SILENT DEER PATHS through lush coastal forest, find rivers churning with spawning salmon, and spot mountain goats perched precariously on mountain ledges the size of a quarter. Go where cities give way to tiny native villages and close-knit frontier communities. Cruise the cliff-walled fjords of Kenai Fjords listening for the “white thunder” of glaciers calving into nutrient-rich water, and idle off Point Adolphus watching humpback whales breach. From the lush island scenery of the Inside Passage to the wildlife-rich wilderness of Denali National Park, this is the Alaska you came to see.

BRING ALASKA’S WILD BEAUTY

into focus as you discover small towns and big cities, cruise far up narrow fjords to the twin Sawyer Glaciers or Dawes Glacier, and launch Zodiacs right from the yacht into pristine wilderness on Windstar Signature Expeditions. Our small ships get you closer to scenic shorelines along the Inside Passage, Kenai Fjords, and wildlife-rich Inian Islands. And when it comes to Native Alaskan culture, in addition to your opportunities ashore at places like Anchorage’s Alaska Native Heritage Center and Ketchikan’s Saxman Native Village, we’ll bring native dancers on board for an exclusive performance.

• Visit small and less-visited ports of call like Wrangell and Haines

• Get closer to the twin Sawyer Glaciers on our yacht, which can navigate further up the narrow fjord

• L aunch a kayak or Zodiac straight from the yacht in remote places like Misty Fjords and Kenai Fjords where excursions aren’t usually offered

• In Alaska, travel with Expedition Guides with expertise in various disciplines, who lead guided tours and are available all your cruise to answer any questions you may have

Kenai Fjords, Alaska – Alaska’s smallest national park holds some of Alaska’s biggest natural wonders. Very few cruise lines go here but on Windstar’s Star Seeker you’ll enjoy a full day of scenic cruising. The towering walls of rock and lush forests that line the fjords are breathtaking, but the ice face itself is even more so, regularly calving icebergs the size of small houses. Wildlife along the way might range from brown bears and mountain goats to sea lions and whales, and with Windstar’s exclusive Signature Expeditions, you can see it all up close by kayak or Zodiac.

Wrangell, Alaska – With only about 2,000 residents, Wrangell is one of Alaska’s smaller communities. You won’t find big ships or fancy gift shops here, but you will find bald eagles in the cottonwoods, a colorful history, and a rare and authentic frontier charm. Spend the day discovering totem poles and Tlingit history at Chief Shakes Island, or wander Petroglyph Beach pondering the meaning of the 8,000-year-old rock art. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, watch wild bears fish the river for spawning salmon.

WILDERNESS HEART OF THE

FEATURED SHORE EXCURSIONS:

Juneau: Taku Glacier & Airboat Adventure – Alaska is awesome from any angle, but it’s especially amazing from the sky. Flying high above Juneau in your helicopter it’s all laid out like a quilt below you: The green velvet of Tongass National Forest, the white Juneau Ice Field, blue Gastineau Channel and Taku River. Landing at Taku Point, board a covered airboat for an exhilarating ride along the edge of Taku Glacier within an arm’s reach of the ice. Then it’s back to your helicopter for an effortless climb and landing on top of the glacier.

Haines: Chilkat Bald Eagle Float – Board your raft and enjoy a scenic float down the Chilkat River through the famous Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Your expert guide will push the raft along. Along the way, your guide will interpret the natural history of the area and share exciting stories of life in the Alaskan wilderness. Learn to spot bald eagles and gain an appreciation for the challenges they face to survive. Early in the summer, resident eagles are feeding their young.

WE COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER …

“Not only was the expedition staff great with their lectures and knowledge of glaciers, bears, whales, seals, sea lions and everything else that roams Alaska, they were really great fellow travelers who enjoyed the cruise as much as we did … Riding on a Zodiac while seeing mountain goats as ice floated by from a calving glacier was a total thrill!” ~ SB44 on Cruise Critic

FRONTIER GET CLOSER TO THE LAST

WINDSTAR SIGNATURE EXPEDITIONS BRING ALASKA TO LIFE

Imagine seeing the Great Land as John Muir saw it, from ground and sea level, not looking down on it from several stories high (or from miles away).

And while other cruise lines bring speakers on board for a day, you’ll enjoy the company of onboard experts for the full length of your voyage. You can casually ask questions and visit with these authorities on marine biology, botany, history, glaciology, and more whenever your curiosity is aroused.

In addition to scheduled presentations and getting to know our guests’ interests better, they lead small groups on hikes and on expeditions by kayak and Zodiac — sometimes launching straight from our yacht in remote places like Misty Fjords and Kenai Fjord where this type of excursion is rare and requires guests to go ashore first.

That’s the intimate and engaging experience you get on a Windstar Signature Expedition.

• S ee Holgate Glacier or Aialik Glacier

• V iew tidewater glaciers

• Paddle through floes from the Harding Ice Field

• Kayak through ice that has calved from the glacier

• Explore Kenai Fjords National Park

• Watch for harbor seals, black bears, bald eagles, puffins, and more

Kenai Fjords – Step from the ship to a kayak or Zodiac and glide past ice debris from the Harding Ice Field. Keep an eye out for calving tidewater glaciers, harbor seals, black bears, bald eagles, and puffins.

Misty Fjords – Cruise up Misty Fjords past where the big cruise ships turn around, then launch a Zodiac or kayak straight from the ship to explore even further — to hidden coves and along cliffs streaked by glacier-fed waterfalls.

Tracy Arm/Endicott Arm – Depending on the route, navigate in front of the South Sawyer Glacier or Dawes Glacier by Zodiac or kayak. Both glaciers are actively calving. Watch for harbor seals hauled out on ice floes and mountain goats high on the cliffs above.

Wrangell – John Muir hiked here while using Wrangell as headquarters for his Stikine Delta explorations. Your interpretive walk offers a truly immersive forest experience with excellent views of the surrounding mountains, town, and waterways below.

Follow ice debris up stunningly beautiful Tracy Arm, a fjord that terminates at the twin Sawyer Glaciers. Sheer mountain peaks loom above you and waterfalls stream off the rocky cliffs. Mountain goats look down from above and harbor seals with their pups watch from ice floes below. Our small ship is much more maneuverable than larger ships, giving us a better chance of reaching all the way up the passage. When weather and ice conditions permit, we’ll watch ice calve off the glacier’s face. If ice blocks Tracy Arm, we’ll cruise the broader Endicott Arm with similar scenery.

John Muir first viewed Misty Fjords by cedar canoe, comparing it to his beloved Yosemite. And today it looks much as it did back then, one of the last places on earth where you can explore vast swaths of rugged, remote area untouched by humans.

Of the 30-some glaciers in the Juneau Ice Field, only one — Taku Glacier — is still advancing. Fly over it in a helicopter, then land to peer down into a crevasse and taste the purity of glacial streams.

DAY 9 • HAINES, ALASKA

This quaint little town on North America’s longest fjord borders 20 million acres of protected wilderness. Outdoor adventures are obviously high on the list here, from kayak and raft trips to photo safaris.

You’ll know this is definitely the way to see Misty Fjords. Want to power your very own vessel to see the sights? Take a kayak trek for the paddle of a lifetime.

DAY 14 • SCENIC CRUISING CANADIAN INSIDE PASSAGE

There’s a reason this region is so popular with yachtsmen. You could spend years exploring this archipelago and never discover all the hidden coves, secluded villages, and magnificent landscapes. Sunset is a special time as the light turns the passage red and silver.

DAY 15 • VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA

The city that began as a frontier fur trading post is now a bustling metropolis with an almost unfair boon of jawdropping natural beauty and thriving culture. Take it all in on your way to Canada Place Cruise Terminal.

ALASKAN SPLENDORS

VANCOUVER TO ANCHORAGE, (or reverse ) 10 , 11 † , or 12 ‡ NIGHTS

One of Michele Hanson’s favorite ways to experience the “true Alaska” is kayaking Endicott Arm: “The smell of the glaciers, the beauty of the blue ice … you just feel so blessed to see it firsthand.” Such intimate encounters are only possible on a small ship like Star Seeker. G uests get to experience a variety of glaciers in Kenai Fjord, Tracy or Endicott Arm, and view the waterfalls along the steep cliff walls in Misty Fjords all on one itinerary. Another benefit: Windstar is able to tweak it in real time — so if, say, a pod of humpbacks is spotted bubble feeding in Point Adolphus, the Captain can maneuver the ship for prime viewing.

Windstar’s Signature Expeditions staff is tops in the field, and the cruise line goes out of its way to expose guests to authentic Alaskan culture in tiny communities like Wrangell.

Go inland and combine the best of the land and sea with the Alaskan Explorations & Denali Cruise Tour (see page 78).

IF I WERE THERE...

• Hop a helicopter for flightseeing over dozens of glaciers within the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Ice Field which features two landings for glacier hikes, “a pinnacle travel experience.”

Fish for halibut, lingcod and rockfish on a guided fishing trip near the picturesque Tongass National Forest. Bicycle remote coastal roads and hike the soft trails of a mossy temperate rainforest outside Sitka, or try your hand stretching molten glass in a local artist studio. In Haines, Alaska, visit the American Bald Eagle Foundation and Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Experience the clamor and challenges of directing a dog team from a dogsled. Alaska’s pristine beauty remains the perfect accompaniment to baked salmon served on aromatic cedar planks, decadent king crab legs and rustic clam chowder with Yukon potatoes, and this journey is rich in opportunities for sampling fresh-caught seafood and authentic local fare.

WINDSTAR TIPS

EXPERT LEVEL

The Last Frontier is by definition a long way from civilization, so if you’re going to make the trek to get here, take your Alaska journey to an even higher level by paying attention to these five simple tips.

PORTS OF CALL: Seattle, Washington; Vancouver, Canada

DEPARTURE DATE : Star Seeker: May 6, 2026

1. Capture the Memories Take advantage of the uncrowded decks to shoot that once-in-a-lifetime shot of a whale breaching — something that’s much easier to do without people bumping your elbow.

2. Learn From the Experts

Add more meaning and co ntext to your voyage as you learn about nature and Alaskan history from the full-time Expedition Experts on board to ask questions of on deck or to have conversations with over dinner.

3. Pack Like a Pro

Make your days on board and on shore more comfortable and productive by mastering the Northwest art of layering clothes and by bringing the right gear for your outdoor adventures.

4. Don’t Forget About Denali Denali National Park & Preserve is Alaska’s most popular land attraction, and can be visited on our Cruise Tours. It’s home to Denali

(formerly Mount McKinley), the continent’s highest peak, as well as Alaska’s Big Five wildlife: moose, caribou, grizzly bears, Dall sheep, and wolves.

Signature Expedition excursions launch right from the yacht

5. Look Beyond the Creature Features

There’s the native culture, and there are few things more thrilling than watching traditional Hoonah Tlingit dances or visiting with a Native Master Carver. And, there’s the incredible fjord and glacier scenery, at its best in remote spots like Kenai Fjords, Misty Fjords, Tracy Arm, and Endicott Arm — places where our Signature Expedition excursions launch right from the yacht.

Otter

VIKINGS CROSSED THE LABRADOR SEA from Greenland to settle in Newfoundland. Centuries later, Portuguese fishermen, Basque whalers, French trappers, and English pilgrims would discover a Promised Land where nature nurtures both body and soul. Here, where the sun first kisses North America, Jacques Cartier found a place where “the scenery is indeed worth seeing and can’t be properly described in words.” The ravishing lighthouse-studded coast still inspires awe. Manna from the sea still delights palates. And yachts like ours still ply these waters with a freedom denied to larger ships.

ECHOES OF

FREEDOM

• Discover Acadian and Scottish cultures in Nova Scotia, French culture in Quebec, and the utterly unique Downeast culture of Maine

FEATURED PORTS:

Cap-aux-Meules, Magdalen Islands, Quebec –Cap-aux-Meules is a place even many Qu é b é cois are unfamiliar with. On this beautiful island of forest, dune grass, bright red cliffs and picturesque lighthouses it’s easy to find a spot all your own. And there’s plenty to see, from more than 300 bird species to a church built from salvaged shipwrecks to colorful kitesurfers skating across the waves. The hardy residents attract foodies with artisan cheese and local honey. Fill your time exploring the unique blend of Acadian, French and English cultures.

• See New England’s spectacular fall color during autumn cruises

• Cruise into the heart of Montreal under Laviolette Bridge, a barrier that forces some larger ships to dock two hours away in Quebec City

• Visit small, rarely visited ports of call like Saint Pierre & Miquelon, Cap-auxMeules, Bonne Bay, Narsaq, Gaspé, and Trois-Rivières

Halifax, Nova Scotia – What started as a British naval garrison was soon home to fishing boats, pirates, and rumrunners, resulting in a history almost as colorful as the restored clapboard buildings along the Harbourwalk. Catch up on the city’s seafaring past — including artifacts from the Titanic disaster — at the Museum of the Atlantic. Or climb the hill to the star-shaped Citadel where costumed re-enactors transport you back to colonial days.

FROM THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION to the Siege of Louisbourg, quaint fishing villages to iconic French-flavored cities, Star Pride shows you the best this region has to offer. Step into Maine’s oldest lighthouse in Portland and catch lobster in Cap-aux-Meules. Travel back to the days of the Vikings in L’Anse Aux Meadows near St. Anthony, and to French fishing villages in Saint Pierre & Miquelon. See spectacular scenery from the rugged shores of Acadia National Park to picturesque Peggy’s Cove. The diversity of sights, tastes, and accents is astonishing, and makes you feel like you’ve traveled to foreign lands without ever being too far from home.

Your hike leads to a secret beach, the perfect place to enjoy your box lunch and watch for grey seals, harbor porpoises, and whales.

The setting is extraordinary — you can watch small icebergs float by in the ocean just a short distance away in the fjord, and sky-high mountains rise around. Aside from a small changing hut it’s just you in a wild setting. And how many people can say they went swimming in Greenland?

7 NIG HTS

It’s something of an insider secret, cruising the extreme southern edge of the Caribbean. But those who explore beyond the traditional islands know that this is where you find the epicenter of colonial history, amazing biodiversity, and cultures.

This is the heart of the Spanish Main, where untold wealth boarded galleons and colonial forts thwarted off pirate attacks. It’s the narrow isthmus that holds the Panama Canal, an epic engineering feat that irrevocably changed the course of world trade. And it’s the home of indigenous tribes like the Kogi, the Ngobe-Buglé, and the Kuna, who have managed to maintain their traditional ways of life despite living at one of the planet’s busiest crossroads. These shores are also some of the most beautiful and biodiverse on earth, home to marine-rich coral reefs, and the greatest bird diversity in the world.

ITINERARY: Day 1 - Oranjestad, Aruba; Day 2 – At Sea; Days 3/4 - Cartagena, Colombia (overnight); Day 5 - Isla Aroma, San Blas Islands, Panama; Day 6 - Bocas del Toro, Panama; Day 7 - Transit Panama Canal, Panama; Day 8 - Panama City, Panama

DEPARTURE DATES : Star Pride : Dec 21, 28 2024; Jan 18, 25 *; Feb 1, 8 ; Mar 1, 8 , 2025

INSIDER TIPS

• Birders take note: Colombia has the highest bird diversity of any country with more than 1,900 species, and our excursion to Cartagena’s National Aviary lets you see an important sample of this variety.

• Brightly dressed palenquera ladies – carrying fruit trays on their heads – add to the beauty and attraction of Cartagena.

• The coffee and chocolate (cacao) grown in this region are delicious. Be sure to try some, and if you have a chance, visit a farm where the crops are grown to learn how they’re produced.

• When you cross the Panama Canal you join a fraternity of sailors who have made this crossing before you. This honor is known as the “Order of the Ditch”.

SHHH. THERE ARE STILL secret places here that the big ships pass by. Places where there’s only one beach bar in sight, closed if the proprietor decides to go spear fishing. Your Windstar yacht has an uncanny ability to find places like this. Places where your day’s activities are timed by the rumble of your stomach, the drowsiness following a good swim, an iridescent sunset that heralds “sailor’s delight” on the morrow. But then, one glance at your itinerary already told you that.

DANCE

CARIBBEAN

WINDSTAR’S FAVORITE FIVE:

• St . Barthélemy

• J ost Van Dyke

• B equia

• M ayreau

• St . Lucia

IF YOU COULD DESIGN the perfect island itinerary it would look a lot like these. Ports of call would include tiny towns and hidden harbors known only to private yachts and small ships like ours. Schedules would allow for dropping the Watersports Platform in turquoise bays and raising sails on the way to your next island rendezvous. And the laid-back island vibe would continue on board with a mouthwatering Signature Onboard Barbecue by the pool. Best of all, on every cruise there would be one day that was even more special than the rest, when you land on a secluded beach for Windstar’s Signature Beach Party, elaborate buffet and watersports included.

A DIFFERENT SET OF RULES applies in the Mediterranean. Time is measured in centuries, not minutes. Cities are shaped by sun and volcanoes. And the border between myth and reality fades like footprints on a Riviera beach.

Surrounded by wonders like the Cinque Terre and Parthenon, Meteora and the Sistine Chapel, Lake Como and the azure landscapes of Croatia, it’s easy to believe there is something magical at work here. Something that kisses grapes and transforms them into divine wine, turns marble ruins to gold in the last light of day, and gifts you with a beautiful white yacht to see it all.

ENCHANTMENT IS THIS

FEATURED PORTS:

WINDSTAR’S FAVORITE FIVE:

• S anary-sur-Mer, France

• M ahon, Menorca, Spain

• Portoferraio, Italy

• M onemvasia, Greece

• Kusadasi, Turkey

CURATED

• Take advantage of exclusive experiences like attending the Formula One®* Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo or transiting the narrow Corinth Canal, too small for larger ships

• Enjoy an exclusive and complimentary onshore Destination Discovery Event on cruises to Kusadasi — dinner in the moonlight and a concert in Ephesus

• Stay in key ports late into the evening or even overnight

• Choose from a wide variety of Cruise Tours offering you the best sights on land as well as sea — everything from Meteora to Douro Valley vineyards to Lake Como

Monemvasia, Greece – This medieval castle town, on an island east of the Peloponnese, is impressively carved into a large rocky plateau. Visitors arrive on a short causeway, and walk through a massive Venetian gate (cars are not allowed), or via ferry. Arriving on your Windstar yacht is a rare opportunity (most ships are too large to call here). Wander the narrow cobblestone lanes past restored, red-roofed medieval stone houses and dozens of Byzantine churches, and imagine you are in another time.

Kotor, Montenegro – Wander through the dreamy medieval Old Town on pedestrians only alleyways past historic homes, hidden squares, stone churches, boutiques and restaurants. Climb to the fortress on the hill for breathtaking views of the mountain forests that cover much of the landscape. Side trips visit villages in the countryside. A late-night affords sunset viewing from a restaurant terrace — sipping the Montenegrin red wine Vranac while sampling local specialties.

IN ALMOST EVERY Mediterranean port you’ll find incredible history, to-die-for cuisine, exceptional art and architecture, and rich cultural traditions. The trick is getting the most out of your visit, and designing itineraries specifically to accomplish this is an area where Windstar excels. Our port-intensive itineraries are designed to show you both the big cities and more overlooked places — from authentic working-class towns where tourism is an afterthought to small ports favored by yachtsmen. And when we do visit major cities, our small yachts dock closer to historic town centers. Late night and evening stays expand your time for exploration, and carefully crafted small-group excursions get right to the heart of local culture with insightful market tours, tastings, village and home visits, and more.

JOURNEYS

FEATURED SHORE EXCURSIONS:

Casablanca: Magical Marrakech – Take a horse carriage from the Medina to the lovely and colorful Majorelle Gardens, designed by French artist Jacques Majorelle in a palette of bright Berber colors. Watch a folkloric performance over a Moroccan lunch, then head to Bahia Palace with its magnificent Andalusian and Moorish architecture. End the day exploring the labyrinth of souks and Djemma El Fna Square, where snake charmers and fortune tellers have been at work since the 11th century.

Giardini Naxos: Taormina & the Blue Grotto by Boat –Taormina is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Sicily, perched at the top of a cliff overlooking the Bay of Naxos and Mount Etna. Board a motorboat and glide into the fabled Blue Grotto sea cave with its other-worldly colors. Refresh yourself before returning to the yacht with fresh almond cookies and a refreshing swim off Isla Bella.

YOUR CRUISE TOUR DAY-TO-DAY SNAPSHOTS

Colored descriptions indicate land tour portion.

DAY 1 • ATHENS, GREECE

Arrive in Athens, one of the world’s oldest cities, and settle into your room at the 5-star St. George Lycabettus Hotel. With the afternoon and evening at your leisure, you have time to peruse the shops of Kolonaki, an elegant neighborhood nearby that’s known for its museums and trendy boutiques.

(Includes overnight at St. George Lycabettus and transfer from airport.)

DAY 2 • DELPHI, GREECE

We prophecy a busy day at Delphi, a place that once attracted people from all over who came to have their questions answered by the Oracle. The setting itself is

spectacular, aside from the UNESCO World Heritage Site’s cultural significance. The ruins hug the hillside, with an incredible view of the mountains, valley, and nearby coast. See the Castalian Spring where worshippers purified themselves before visiting the Oracle, the Sacred Way, the Grand Temple of Apollo, the theater, and the well preserved stadium, its marble starting blocks still in place. And don’t miss the magnificent bronze Charioteer at the Delphi Museum. After a delicious traditional Greek lunch, check into the Divani Meteora Hotel in the historical district of Kalambaka.

(Includes overnight at Divani Meteora, breakfast and lunch.)

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• 3 h otel stays — 2 nights at St. George Lycabettus*, 1 night at Divani Meteora*

• Transfers from the airport, to and from all sites, and to the yacht

• 5 m eals, 3 breakfasts at hotel, 2 lunches at Delphi and Meteora

• A rchaeological expert and Englishspeaking guide

• Entrance fees to Delphi, Castalian Spring, the Grand Temple of Apollo, Delphi Museum, Meteora, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon

• D inner and concert in front of the ancient ruins

• 7-night cruise aboard Wind Star or Wind Spirit

*Or similar class hotel

DAY 3 • METEORA, GREECE

Monks and hermits have found refuge on Meteora’s sandstone rock pillars for centuries. The Greek Orthodox monasteries perched on the cliffs were originally accessed only by nets or wooden ladders, making them a perfect refuge from pirates and invaders. Today only about six monasteries remain, collectively listed as a World Heritage Site. Explore two that are now accessible by steps and bridges, shifting your gaze from the incredible monasteries to the amazing rock towers they cling to. After lunch, return to Athens and spend the evening at your leisure.

(Includes overnight at St. George Lycabettus, breakfast, and lunch.)

DAY 4 • ACROPOLIS & PIRAEUS, GREECE

The Acropolis is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Climb the smooth marble steps to the Parthenon, a masterpiece of classical architecture. Admire the Temple of Athena Nike and the Porch of Maidens. Then enter the Acropolis Museum where you’ll find works of art including the Parthenon Frieze with its beautiful depiction of the festival of Athena. Turn your attention to a modern beauty as you head to the yacht.

(Includes breakfast and transfer to yacht.)

DAY 5 • MYKONOS, GREECE

Visit Mykonos, a classic Greek isle with hundreds of white-washed churches and cubist houses, thatched windmills catching the breeze, and a harbor bobbing with fishing boats and luxury yachts. Sit in the shadow of a café as native fishermen and jet set Europeans pass by. Or head further afield on an optional tour of Delos, a UNESCO site and mythical birthplace of Apollo.

DAY 6 • KUSADASI, TURKEY

Kusadasi offers many historic sites, but Ephesus steals the show. Once an important trading stop along the Silk Road,

its well-preserved ruins reflect what was once one of the most beautiful and advanced cities of the ancient world.

Walk the marble-lined streets past the huge theater where St. Paul once preached, the gladiator’s graveyard, the incomparable facade of the Celsus Library.

DAY 7 • PATMOS, GREECE

Inhale the scent of heather and pines on the sacred island where the Book of Revelation was said to have been written. This UNESCO World Heritage Site draws pilgrims to sites like the Cave of the Apocalypse and the Holy Monastery of the Apocalypse, while nature lovers flock to the beaches.

DAY 8 • SANTORINI, GREECE

Cruise into Santorini, a vision in whitewash, volcanic black, and a blue so distinctive it’s become known as Santorini blue. People of the Cyclades don’t simply like the color, they believe it keeps away evil, a job it must do extremely well as it’s hard to imagine a more sublime place. Catch iconic photos of traditional Greek windmills, and don’t miss the romantic village of Oia with its cave houses.

DAY 9 • MONEMVASIA, GREECE

Monemvasia is a place where only the determined go, or those with private ships.

(Don’t be surprised if yours is the only one in the harbor.) The Gibraltar-like fortress is linked to the rest of the Peloponnese by a thin tendril of causeway that was once a drawbridge, restricting access to whoever currently occupied the rock. Climb to the upper town and explore the citadel and Agia Sofia church. With no cars allowed, you can hear the cicadas singing and the sea breaking gently on the shore. Return to the lower town and sink into a welcome chair at a trattoria for a congratulatory sip of Malmsey, the sweet wine that originated here.

DAY 10 • NAFPLIO, GREECE

This charming seaside town is one of the most romantic cities in Greece. Enjoy the medieval old town with its narrow cobblestone alleys and neoclassical mansions. Take an optional tour to the UNESCO site of Epidaurus or the UNESCO site of Mycenea. Or stroll the Syntagma Square and take in the beauty of the Palamidi Castle with its 999 steps carved from the rocks.

DAY 11 • PIRAEUS (ATHENS), GREECE

Return to Athens, a city with 3,000 years of history where you can’t turn around without encountering the past.

LAKE COMO & ADRIATIC ROMANCE CRUISE TOUR

ROME TO MILAN, (or reverse ) | 10* or 11 NIGHTS

Combine a picturesque overland exploration of Lake Como and Venice with an extensive cruise along the scenic Adriatic and Mediterranean coasts on this inspired odyssey. Tantalize your palate with rustic Croatian cuisine and fine Italian wines. See timeless works of art from the Rialto Bridge to the Sistine Chapel. Rest your eyes on red-roofed medieval Old Towns and the watercolor beauty of Krka National Park, all turquoise, teal, and emerald. And walk in places where history echoes with every step — the famous medieval City Walls of Dubrovnik, the silent streets of Pompeii, Split’s popular Riva promenade, in existence since Diocletian’s Palace was built some 1,700 years ago. Stand at the rail on your elegant yacht and take in the beauty of Kotor Bay and the Bay of Naples. Let Lake Como wow you with its jewel-like beauty and aristocratic elegance. Spend the night in Venice and ride a gondola through the moonlight. Magical moments, every one. And each detail is perfectly coordinated for you by Windstar.

YOUR CRUISE TOUR DAY-TO-DAY SNAPSHOTS

Colored descriptions indicate land tour portion.

DAY 1 • CIVITAVECCHIA (ROME), ITALY

Devour (or at least taste) 2,000 years of history: Stones brought to life by Michelangelo, the clash of ghostly gladiators in the Colosseum, the treasures of the Vatican. Molto bello!

DAY 2 • SORRENTO, ITALY

Heard of the Grand Tour? Sorrento was one of the stops designed to enlighten young European princes. Spend your time here surrounded by beautiful things — gardens, ancient villas, views across the Bay of Naples to Mount Vesuvius. Or visit the past in Pompeii or Herculaneum.

DAY 3 • GIARDINI NAXOS, ITALY

The charming village of Giardini Naxos is nestled in one of the world’s most beautiful bays. In its day it overshadowed rival Taormina — a neighboring town that’s much larger than it now. Take an optional excursion to see Taormina’s iconic Greek Theater, or the UNESCO site of Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano.

DAY 4 • AT SEA

DAY 5 • KOTOR, MONTENEGRO

The approach to Kotor offers one breathtaking fjord-like view after another. Just when you’ve reached your fill of blues and greens, the bright red rooftops of the

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• 2 hote l nights at a Lake Como 5-star hotel, 1 hotel night at Palace Bonvecchiati*

• All t ransfers to and from the various sites included

• 4 mea ls, 3 breakfasts at the hotel and 1 local lunch at Lake Como

• Admi ssion to Villa Carlotta botanical gardens and museum and wine tasting

• Gui ded tour of St. Mark’s Square and Rialto

• Lake Como scenic cruise

• 7- or 8-night cruise aboard Wind Surf *Or similar class hotel

medieval Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — come into view. The timeworn, cobbled streets remain car free, leading to 12th century Baroque palaces, Romanesque churches, gorgeous gardens, and aristocratic mansions from days gone by.

DAY 6 • DUBROVNIK, CROATIA

While larger ships pass by, we anchor right beyond the famous city. The entire Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you can enjoy it all. Here, a copper-roofed cathedral. There, a fountain of masked faces spouting water. Discover a 14th century pharmacy tucked away in the

Franciscan Monastery, still operating after 700 years with dusty medieval remedies still lining the shelves.

DAY 7 • SPLIT, CROATIA

When Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to retire, he chose a spot that offered the best of both worlds — a beautifully scenic resort setting, and proximity to the urban pleasures of ancient Salona. The setting is still spectacular, and his palace, now a UNESCO site, is the fabric upon which the city grew. Beyond, you can go people-watching along Split’s popular Riva promenade, wander the pedestrian boulevard of Marmontova Street, or rub the toe of the statue of Gregory of Nin for good luck. Further afield, there’s dramatic Krka National Park with its spellbinding landscapes of gorges, lakes, and waterfalls.

DAY 8 • ROVINJ, CROATIA

Rovinj used to be a tiny island until the channel was filled in during the 18th century, so while the red terracotta roofs now spill inland, the Old Town is tidily self-contained. Hints of Italy are everywhere — in the signs, in the language, in the cuisine — thanks to having spent more than 500 years under Venetian rule. Seek out nearby Pula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its ancient Roman buildings. Or the resort town of Porec with its 6 th century Euphrasian Basilica, yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site.

DAY 9 • VENICE,

ITALY

No other sea approach in the Adriatic raises goose bumps like Venice, where the entire city and its lagoon are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Say farewell to your yacht and follow your private tour guide to Palace Bonvecchiati, a 4-star hotel just a stone’s throw from St. Mark’s Square. The hotel has been welcoming guests since 1790, and offers an upscale boutique hotel experience with contemporary comforts. Spend the afternoon at your leisure before a guided walking tour of St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto area, the perfect place to enjoy an Aperitivo.

(Includes overnight at the Palace Bonvecchiati.)

DAY

10 •

VENICE TO LAKE COMO, ITALY

Wake in the City of Love and greet the day with breakfast at the hotel before joining your guide for the drive to Verona — home of Romeo and Juliet, and part of Italy’s Veneto wine region, known for its quality wines. Spend some time at Cantina Mosconi Berta with its ancient 16th century cellars and splendid vineyard, and sample wines like the Amarone the winery was instrumental in creating. Then it’s off to the town of Cernobbio on Lake Como where you’ll find the 5-star hotel where you’ll spend the night.

(Includes overnight at the Lake Como hotel and breakfast.)

DEPARTURE DATES: Wind Surf : Apr 27; May 2 ; Jun 6; Aug 19; Sep 11 ; Oct 3*, 7 , 18, 23 2025 May 4, 10 ; Jul 21 ; Aug 15 ; Sep 2, 16 ; Oct 7, 12 , 2026

DAY 11 • LAKE COMO, ITALY

After breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide for a private boat tour of Lake Como, a lake that’s been a popular retreat for aristocrats since Roman times. In Tremezzo, explore the beautiful gardens of Villa Carlotta. The Villa’s art collection and botanical gardens were an important stop on the European Grand Tour in the 17th and 18th centuries. Cross the lake to the village of Bellagio, considered the jewel of the lake. Located where the lake splits into two branches, the town climbs the hills in a series of alleyways and staircases lined with historic palaces and colorful shops. If the setting looks familiar, parts of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale were shot here, among other movies. Explore the town and dine at a restaurant overlooking the lake before returning by boat to your hotel. Spend the evening as you wish.

(Includes overnight at the Lake Como hotel, breakfast, and lunch.)

DAY 12 • MILAN, ITALY

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel on your last morning at Lake Como then transfer to the Malpensa Airport in Milan in time for your flight home.

Traveling Comfort Class via high-speed train between Barcelona and Madrid, you’ll have two full days and four nights to take in the capital’s vibrant culture and rich history, with a gorgeous 5-star hotel as your home base.

Columbus slept here, Winston Churchill painted here, and Agatha Christie wrote here, but you don’t have to be famous to fall in love with this place. This volcanic archipelago off the coast of Africa can and does charm just about everyone who visits, although it’s not the same charm for all.

Others are wooed by quaint colonial towns built a century before Columbus sailed, their cobbled streets lined by dry-stone homes with hand-carved wooden balconies. Then there’s the culture, or cultures, derived from European and African roots but infused with elements of all the Atlantic sailors who paused here for provisions. Sip a glass of sweet and citrusy poncha. Ride wicker toboggans, camels and classic cars. Breathe in air scented with orange, oleander, and eucalyptus. And gaze at stars so numerous and bright they seem to put galaxies within reach.

Portofino is one of the most beautiful little ports you’ll encounter anywhere. In the quintessential Italian Riviera town, a late-night stay at the Italian port assures time to dine at one of the chic cafés on the waterfront. Or head up to the patio of the elegant hillside Hotel Splendido (where

Windstar offers an exclusive lunch and olive oil demonstration), for dining with a view of the colorful town. It’s a romantic spot that attracted such couples as Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, and Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. A real draw in Portofino is just kicking back and hanging out in an amazingly scenic harbor.

For those who want to stretch their legs first, nearby hiking opportunities bring views of fortifications, churches, elegant villas, and olive trees along the Ligurian coast. Organized tours afford opportunity to explore the famed Cinque Terre, a rugged coastline where small coastal villages and castles cling to cliffs.

Five towns and the surrounding hillside of Cinque Terre National Park are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Go inland and combine the best of the land and sea with the Vatican & Italian Riviera Cruise Tour (see page 132), or Yachtsman’s Mediterranean Rivieras & Madrid Cruise Tour

HELSINKI TO ATHENS | 8 1 NIGHTS

This voyage is grand in every sense of the word, spanning 81 glorious days, 20 countries, and 67 captivating ports of call — all while only unpacking once! Soak up the beauty of dramatic landscapes: Norwegian fjords, Italy’s Cinque Terre, Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway. Experience history first-hand at ancient Ephesus, on D-Day beaches, and as you wander the buried city of Pompeii. You’ll also have the chance to view some of the world’s most stunning architecture, including the Moorish beauty of the Alhambra, the shimmering Guggenheim, and Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia. We’ve carefully planned this itinerary with frequent overnight stays and late evening departures, so you can reach attractions inland and get a literal taste of local cultures, from wine tasting in Bordeaux to a paella cooking class in Valencia. But it’s not just where you go that makes this voyage special, it’s how you get there. On a Windstar Grand Voyage the crew becomes like a second family, learning to anticipate your every desire and making the yacht your new home.

WORDS LIKE MOOR, LOCH , AND GEYSER were born in this land, because no existing vocabulary could adequately describe these extraordinary landscapes. These regions could just as easily have coined a term for old world vineyards of green and red, rainbows captured in a waterfall’s spray, and storybook cities crisscrossed by canals and flower markets, all of which are here in abundance. But as your elegant yacht traces its way through enchanting fjords and forgotten archipelagos, you won’t need words. You are speechless.

• View Norway’s sparkling fjords from the sea where their beauty is most impressive, and from a yacht where their scale is best appreciated

FEATURED PORTS:

• Take advantage of overnights in marquee ports like Bordeaux, Dublin, Rouen (Paris), Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Stockholm, Sweden

• Travel to far-flung isles that are difficult to reach by other means, like Portrush, Portree, Heimaey Island, Seydisfjordur, Isles of Scilly, and Lerwick

Heimaey Island, Iceland – Off the south coast of Iceland there’s an archipelago called the Westman Islands, and the largest of these is Heimaey. The area is famous for its bird life, including the world’s largest puffin breeding colony, but it’s also known for its geology. In 1973, a volcano on the island erupted and hot lava threatened its only harbor. Before evacuating, the locals sprayed seawater on the advancing lava, stopping its advance and saving the harbor. Now reoccupied, the island offers a rare glimpse of the old town — a modern-day Pompeii.

• Enjoy unique and popular itineraries including a complete circumnavigation of Iceland, or Ireland, and Holland during tulip season

• Explore France in depth, with stops at the Normandy beaches, scenic cruising up the Seine River, and overnights in Bordeaux

FEATURED SHORE EXCURSIONS:

Saint-Malo, France – This ancient walled city was once an important port in the New World voyages of discovery, but today it’s better known for the island of Mont Saint-Michel with its sandcastle-like abbey perched at the top. The sight of Mont Saint-Michel as you approach is awe-inspiring, a triumphant reward for those who made the pilgrimage here over the past thousand years. This part of France is also known for its shellfish, and you won’t want to leave without trying the famous oysters of nearby Cancale with their creamy texture and unique balance of saltiness and sweetness.

Bergen, Norway: Concierge Collection: Helicopter Fjord Adventure – Join this exhilarating helicopter flight over Bergen and the surrounding areas. Get a birds-eye view of the beautiful areas around Bergen and the Folgefonna Glacier just next to the Hardangerfjord. This is Norway’s third largest glacier and the highest point is 5,415 feet above sea level. Fly over Mount Ulriken and Mount Fløyen, the archipelago outside Bergen and of course Bryggen –listed as a UNESCO site.

Honfleur: Concierge Collection: Norman Cooking with Chef Brigitte – Meet Chef Brigitte Dumant for your cooking lesson in her “Long House in the Marshes” (“La Longère des Marais”) isolated in the country. Get to know your host and enjoy la vie à la française for half a day! Once ready, you will prepare three typical Norman dishes (starter, main course, and dessert), before tasting and enjoying your meal in her charming garden.

Wander Reykjavik’s cultural museums and make your way along inviting side streets where former fishing homes offer basement bars, artisan boutiques, and local coffee houses.

YOUR CRUISE TOUR DAY-TO-DAY SNAPSHOTS

Colored descriptions indicate land tour portion.

DAY 1 • REYKJAVIK, ICELAND

The world’s northernmost capital enjoys almost 24-hour sunlight in summer, all the better to show off the city’s eclectic architecture and dazzling natural wonders. Your English-speaking guide and driver meet you at the airport and take you to The Grand Hotel near the city center. If you like, walk to the nearby Saga Museum to brush up on Icelandic history, or catch a peek of historic Hofdi House, site of the 1986 summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that effectively ended the Cold War. Get a good night’s sleep, because tomorrow will be a busy one.

(Includes overnight at The Grand Hotel or similar class hotel, and airport transfer.)

DAY 2 • BORGARFJORDUR & HUSAFELL, ICELAND

After breakfast, head to Borgarfjordur from Reykjavik. This region was the setting for most of the Icelandic sagas and you’ll learn some folk tales as you view the short, fierce rapids of Barnafoss Waterfall and the series of rivulets that form Hraunfossar Waterfall. After lunch, step into the dazzling, blue-hued Langjokull Ice Tunnels and marvel at the natural beauty of one of the most striking glacier caves in Iceland. Enjoy the evening at your leisure.

(Includes overnight at the The Grand Hotel or similar class hotel, breakfast and lunch.)

• 7-night cruise aboard all-suite Star Pride *Or similar class hotel

DAY 3 • PINGVELLIR NATIONAL PARK, STOKKSEYRI

Explore remarkable Pingvellir National Park after breakfast. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is where the world’s oldest democratic parliament was founded in 930, and is also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Because of this unique geography, Iceland has magma close to the surface — one of the criteria required to produce geysers. See this in action at nearby Strokkur Geyser before lunch at the Fridheimar Tomato Farm. Next up is Gulfoss Waterfall, where

icy water thunders down a double fall into a deep gorge. Travel to the small village of Fludir, home to the Secret Lagoon natural hot springs, then to the village of Stokkseyri for a dinner of local dishes before heading back to Reykjavik and The Grand Hotel.

(Includes overnight at The Grand Hotel or similar class hotel, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.)

DAY 4 • REYKJAVIK TO THE YACHT, BLUE LAGOON

Breakfast at the hotel before seeing the sights of Reykjavik. Take in panoramic views of the city from Perlan planetarium’s observation deck, and admire the skylinedominating tower of Hallgrimskirkja Church. Wrap up the day with an iconic experience — bathing in the famous Blue Lagoon — before heading to your waiting yacht.

(Includes breakfast and transfer to yacht.)

DAY

5 • HEIMAEY ISLAND, ICELAND

Witness a world still in transition as we explore two lands — one created by a volcanic eruption and one nearly destroyed by one. As we circle Surtsey Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll get to see one of the newest islands on the planet. Surtsey rose from the sea in the 1960s and offers a unique opportunity to study how species colonize a virgin land.

Next up, Heimaey Island. Back in 1973, Eldfell Volcano erupted without warning, swallowing much of the main town and turning the rest into a modern-day Pompeii.

DAYS 6/7 • SEYDISFJORDUR, ICELAND (OVERNIGHT)

Wind your way up the 11-mile-long Seydisfjord, a narrow, beautiful waterway surrounded by high mountains. At the head of the fjord is Seydisfjordur, a small, scenic town where cascading waterfalls seem to be everywhere. During our overnight stay you’ll have time to enjoy this beautiful part of the country and its unusual claims to fame, including a lake with a mythical “Ness” and Iceland’s largest national forest.

Bird watchers won’t want to miss Skalanes Nature Reserve with its more than 45 bird species. Trekkers can make their way to spectacular Hengifoss Waterfall. Or simply stroll the quaint town of 700 with its colorful Norwegian kit houses shipped in at the turn of the century.

DAY 8 • AKUREYRI, ICELAND

Akureyri nestles like a gem at the head of Iceland’s longest fjord. It’s just a stone’s throw from the Arctic Circle, yet it offers some of Iceland’s warmest weather and a rare ice-free harbor. It’s due to this strange geographic quirk that the town became a famous trading center under the Danes, and also accounts for the town possessing

DEPARTURE DATES: Star Pride : Jul 4, 11, 18, 25; Aug 1, 8, 22, 2025; Jul 3, 10, 17, 24, 31; Aug 7, 14, 21, 2026

one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world with a greenhouse that’s geothermically heated. Spend your day riding an Icelandic horse across the countryside, or go for a soak in the skyblue Myvatn Nature Baths.

DAY 9 • ISAFJORDUR, ICELAND

A breathtaking journey up Isafjaroardjup Bay precedes our arrival in Isafjordur, surprisingly urbane for a village of 2,600. Old Town’s 19th century buildings take you back to the days of the tall ships, while the abandoned town of Hesteyri remains frozen in the 1940s. This is another great port for bird watchers as Vigur Island is teeming with puffins, eiders, guillemots, and Arctic terns.

DAY 10 • GRUNDARFJORDUR, ICELAND

Viking sagas come to life here, as does Jules Verne’s tale Journey to the Center of the Earth. You may share the inspiration to set pen to paper, but don’t feel bad if words fail you. The views defy description.

DAY 11 • REYKJAVIK, ICELAND

Disembark back in Reykjavik with its surprisingly vibrant local museum and art scene.

AROUND ICELAND

REYKJAVIK TO REYJAVIK | 7 NIGHTS

Dramatic scenery and curious communities coalesce on this weeklong circumnavigation of Iceland. Explore a country everyone wants to visit, and go far beyond the tourist hotspots to remote fjords, raging waterfalls, and small fishing villages. Get to know the independent and creative Icelanders and watch whales and seabirds play offshore.

Go inland and combine the best of land and sea with our Comprehensive Iceland Cruise Tour (see page 164).

ICELANDIC HORSES

In Akureyri, a major fishing port close to the Arctic Circle, is where you can ride an Icelandic horse — a distinct breed and a top experience for visitors to the country. The two-hour tour includes one hour on a guided horseback ride along the Eyjafjordur River with a view of surrounding mountains. Viking settlers brought this breed of horse to the island between 860 and 935 CE. They used them for transportation, to plow fields, and to transport wares. No other horses are allowed on the island, and if an Icelandic horse leaves the island, it cannot return. It’s a unique breed and Icelanders are especially proud of it. The Icelandic horse is generally 56 inches tall, broad at the withers with muscular legs. It’s considered the purest breed of horse in the world.

Horses are still a big part of life in Iceland. Many races are held throughout the country. In the winter, events are held on frozen bodies of water. Regular shows are held which focus on the quality of the breed and farmers in the highlands still use them to round up sheep. But most horses are used for leisure riding like the tour in Akureyri and in competitions.

A horse is the perfect partner for taking you to see the fire and ice of Iceland — remote, off-road places you can’t access by a motorized vehicle.

SEYDISFJORDUR: ICELANDIC STORIES AND SONGS

RUGGED AND REMOTE East Iceland is feathered with fjords and fishing villages, but few are as beautiful as Seydisfjordur. During our complimentary Destination Discovery Event, you’ll get a rare insider’s look at both local landmarks and the culture of this small Icelandic community.

Located in the East Fjords between steep mountains, the settlement grew up in the late 1800s around the Norwegian herring fishery. Many of the colorful old timbered houses were imported from Norway by wealthy merchants and whalers. Perhaps the most remarkable building, though, is the Blue Church.

THE BLUE CHURCH: With clean, Scandinavian lines and a beautiful glacier blue color, this church is one of Iceland’s most recognizable landmarks. It was moved or rebuilt a few times over the years before finding its permanent home in Seydisfjordur in 1922. (Sometimes intentionally and sometimes at the whim of Mother Nature, through storms and fire.) Leading up to the church is the vibrantly colored Rainbow Street presenting a scene worthy of a fairytale.

During your exclusive Destination Discovery Event, you’ll enter the church to find it’s as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. In this idyllic setting you’ll be treated to an exclusive cultural performance by local entertainers. The singer and guitarist are natives of East Iceland and they’ll entertain you with stories and songs they grew up with. From tales of ghosts, elves and trolls to joyful songs and ballads about lost sailors, you’ll get a feel for the real Iceland and its people.

Please note: This Destination Discovery Event has been scheduled in a way that will allow you to book and experience another shore excursion on the same day and you will not miss anything.

TIME HANGS SUSPENDED like the moon. Pleasures linger like fine wine on the palate rather than being rushed along by the turbulence of daily life. You’ve never had days like this — free of obligation and with no ruler for success other than meeting your pillow with a smile. You’ve never seen stars like this — pushing back the abyss of space with impossible brightness. Progress is measured in intimate conversations, sunrises and sunsets, visits to the Bridge, a massage in the spa. There are magical ports on the horizon, yes, but your desire for haste has somehow dissolved away in a sea of serenity.

GENERAL CRUISE TERMS & CONDITIONS

All itineraries, schedules, and ports are correct at time of publication but are subject to change without notice. “Windstar Cruises,” “Windstar,” “We,” and “Us” refer to Windstar Cruises Marshall Islands, LLC, a Limited Liability Company that owns and operates the cruise line known as Windstar Cruises. “You,” “passenger” and “guest” refer to persons travelling with Windstar and those in their care, such as minor children. Due to the small size and intimate nature of our yachts, Windstar Cruises is unable to accommodate children under eight (8) years of age. All Guests under 21 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or chaperone who is at least 21 years old. Parents, guardians, and chaperones are responsible for overseeing the onboard conduct of minors. Alcoholic beverages will not be served to guests under age 21.

For family groups booking multiple staterooms, the minimum age for at least one person in each stateroom is 18 years of age, provided they are traveling with a parent, guardian or chaperone.

Should you need to contact Windstar Cruises prior to cruising, use this address: Windstar Cruises, 8400 N.W. 36th Street, Suite 520, Miami, Florida 33166, U.S.A. or call 1-800-258-7245.

PASSAGE CONTRACT: All cruises are provided subject to the terms of the Windstar Cruises Passage Contract, found at http://bit.ly/2puTq7y and which contains important, comprehensive additional terms governing your cruise with us including among other things limits on claims and liability, resolution of claims, etc. For passengers who book cruises through a UK or EU travel advisor, a modified version of the passage contract will apply, referred to as the Conditions of Carriage, as provided by your travel advisor.

CRUISE ONLY FARES: Your fare includes ocean transportation, stateroom or suite accommodations, and all meals and entertainment on board the yacht. Not included, however, are items of a personal nature, such as alcoholic beverages, laundry, transfers prior to or after your cruise, or optional programs or activities. Shore excursions and airfare are available for an additional charge. All rates shown are per person based on double occupancy. Fares are published in U.S. dollars (USD). Note: Third-person rates are available upon request. For further information on fares, non-discountable amounts, government taxes & fees please see below.

SINGLES: Single occupancy of a stateroom is generally 175% of the published per person stateroom cruise fare (200% of the Owner’s Suite, Suites, and Bridge Suites per person cruise fares) and is subject to availability.

WINDSTAR FARE PRICE ASSURANCE POLICY: Guests who purchase a cruise on Windstar will be eligible for reimbursement upon request if the fare published by Windstar for their specific departure and cabin class is reduced after they have made a booking and deposit, and if the request is received by Windstar at least 90 days prior to sailing. The reimbursement will be provided in the form of a shipboard credit, upgrade, fare reduction, or a future cruise credit. Windstar will determine the form of reimbursement, and the amount of reimbursement will be the difference between the fare actually paid by the guest and the published fare on WindstarCruises.com the day the request is received. Guests who select reimbursement will be eligible for any complimentary inclusive features (e.g., hotels, air, tours) associated with the new fare and will forfeit any complimentary inclusive features associated with the original fare. All requests for reimbursement must be made directly to Windstar Cruises at 800-258-7245 (during regular reservations hours) at least 90 days prior to sailing. Windstar reserves the right to modify or terminate this policy at any time for bookings not yet made. Policy does not apply to certain promotions or guests outside of the U.S. or Canada.

RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENT: Windstar Cruises works with travel advisors worldwide to serve your needs. Reservations either made by or assigned to a travel advisor must be managed by the agency of record. While Windstar is unable to provide specific booking information on travel advisor bookings, we are happy to answer general questions. Alternatively, you may reserve your cruise

directly with us if you prefer. Since accommodations are limited by the number of staterooms or suites on each yacht, reservations should be made as early as possible. Payment for your Windstar cruise is to be made to the travel advisor with which you made your reservation, or to Windstar Cruises directly. Travel documents will be issued when full payment has been received by Windstar Cruises. Refunds for cancelled or unused services will be made, less any applicable cancellation fees and charges. If you have reserved your cruise with your travel advisor, please be aware that additional cancellation fees charged by the travel advisor may apply.

DEPOSIT AND FINAL PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS: Immediate deposit of 15% of cruise fare, hotel, and non-discountable amounts is required within 3 days of booking to secure a reservation. Final payment is due prior to 90 days before departure date.

Your documents are usually received approximately 30 days prior to departure. Travel documents, however, are only issued after final payment has been received by Windstar and complete personal folio information has been provided to complete your reservation. Send all payments to Windstar Cruises, 8400 N.W. 36th Street, Suite 520, Miami, Florida 33166 U.S.A. Payments can be processed through the Guest Services Department 1-800-258-7245. Checks can be processed through our Corporate office and should include your confirmation number in the memo line of the check. Windstar Cruises, 8400 N.W. 36th Street, Suite 520, Miami, Florida 33166 U.S.A. All charges are in USD. Windstar is not liable for any currency exchange rate or foreign exchange fee imposed by the account holders’ bank or credit card company. Payment of the cruise deposit and Travel Protection Plan (if applicable) constitutes acceptance of the Terms & Conditions and Passage Contract.

LATE BOOKING POLICY: On bookings within 45 days of departure, Windstar Cruises requires final payment before we can initiate the process of requesting hotel and/or air space. We are unable to make air or hotel requests on bookings within 14 days of departure or transfer requests on bookings within 5 days of departure. Additionally, Windstar Cruises will advise you of the status of the booking request within five (5) business days of receipt of final payment. If your request is confirmed, electronic tickets will be sent via email. If we are unable to confirm your late booking all monies paid to Windstar will be refunded in full. Changes or additions to the cruise package (e.g. transfers, special services, gifts, or onboard packages) cannot be made within seven (7) days of departure and should be requested once you are on board the yacht.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Each booking cancelled before 120 days prior to travel will be subject to a $50 per person cancellation fee. A full refund (except for the amounts paid for air, a Cancellation Protection Plan, and the $50 per person fee) will be made for confirmed cancellations received by Windstar Cruises at least 121 days prior to the date on which you are to commence travel by any mode of transportation booked through Windstar Cruises (sea or land air travel is non-refundable once purchased). Guests who cancel after that date for any reason, including medical or family reasons, are subject to the following cancellation schedule:

120-90 days before commencing travel — 15% of gross fare (deposit)

89-60 days before commencing travel — 35% of gross fare

59-30 days before commencing travel — 50% of gross fare

29-0 days before commencing travel — 100% of gross fare

Windstar can only be responsible for refunding amounts actually received by Windstar Cruises. Travel agencies may impose their own cancellation fees. Agency fees of any nature are a matter to be resolved solely by the agency and guests. Windstar Cruises contracts are non-transferable. Name changes and departure date changes are considered reservation cancellations/re-bookings and are subject to cancellation fees. Changes require the prior approval of Windstar and may not always be possible. Guests who purchased the Travel Protection Plan must submit a claim through Travel Protection Provider/Insurer to receive a refund or credit of cancellation fees as determined by the insurer.

If you or Windstar cancels a tour or shore excursion more than 5 business days prior to your cruise departure date, you will be issued a credit on the credit card you used to pay for your shore excursion reservation. For any cancellations less than 5 days before departure but before the cancellation deadline you will receive an onboard credit where your refund will show up as a credit to your shipboard account. If the credit is not fully utilized during your cruise, the balance will be credited back to your credit card by the yacht’s purser.

When you embark on your cruise you will be given a shore excursion booklet and shore excursion booking form. The booking form has a cancellation deadline listed for the shore excursions for each port. If you cancel your tour reservation after the booking deadline stated in the Booking Form, a 100% cancellation fee will apply, since transportation and services will have already been arranged.

REFUND POLICY AND INSTRUCTIONS: If Windstar Cruises delays your cruise for more than 3 calendar days or cancels your cruise, and you choose not to travel on the delayed cruise or do not accept an alternative cruise, you are entitled to a refund of cruise fare and charges for accommodations, services and facilities (including port fees, taxes and other ancillary fees paid to Windstar Cruises) for the delayed or cancelled cruise. If you booked your cruise directly with Windstar Cruises, to claim a refund please submit a copy of the booking confirmation, proof of payment, and a copy of the delay or cancellation notice by email to info@windstarcruises.com within 90 days of the original embarkation date of your delayed or cancelled cruise. You may also contact us at 800-258-7245 (Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Eastern Time); 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Saturday; Sunday 10am - 6:30pm (Eastern Time)). If you booked through a travel advisor, please contact your advisor for assistance. We will review the refund request and respond by email within 30 days of the date you or your travel advisor submits your claim. If you are entitled to a refund, Windstar Cruises reserves the right to offer you future cruise credits as an alternative to a refund, but you are free to request a cash refund instead.

We do not accept to carry as baggage or assume any liability for any loss of or damage to or delay of trade goods, household goods or furniture, perishable items, medicine, liquor, cash, credit or debit cards, jewelry, gems, gold, silver, precious metals, art, collectibles or similar valuables, securities, financial instruments, records, or other valuable or business documents, computers, cellular telephones, cameras, hearing aids, electric wheelchairs, scooters, or other video or electronic equipment, binoculars, film, videotape, computer disks, audio disks, tapes, DVDs or CDs, or other articles specified in 46 U.S. Code Section 30503. These items should not be left unattended about the Ship or your cabin, nor should they be left unattended on other vessels, railcars, taxis, or other vehicles or in hotels, nor placed in luggage other than a bag that you carry with you. In addition, we do not assume any liability for any loss of or damage to carry-on baggage on the Ship or on the other means of transportation or in hotels. The Ship and certain hotels may be equipped with cabin or room safes or safe-deposit boxes in the Ship’s or hotel’s front office; using these facilities will not, however, increase our liability as provided in the Passage Contract.

NON-WINDSTAR CRUISES SERVICES; ITINERARY CHANGES: These include non-Windstar Cruises Services such as airlines and other off-ship transportation carriers, shore excursions (other than the limited number of shore excursions operated by Windstar), and accommodations. Non-Windstar Cruises Services are solely at your risk and subject to the terms or arrangements made by you. Windstar Cruises assumes no responsibility with respect to these non-Windstar Cruises Services including delay, injury, death, or damage to property. Situations may arise that, in the opinion of Windstar Cruises, make it necessary for Windstar Cruises to cancel, advance, or postpone a scheduled departure, change itineraries, or make substitutions involving ports of call, other travel components, vessels, or other modes of transportation. These situations may include, by way of example, concerns regarding weather conditions, issues involving safety matters, alternative business arrangements, or charters resulting in the decision to withdraw a Cruise from public sale, or requirements of governmental authorities. If this should occur, Windstar Cruises does not assume responsibility or liability for any losses, inconvenience, or expenses incurred by guests as a result. Please see the Windstar Cruises Passage Contract for further details.

GENERAL CRUISE TERMS & CONDITIONS

communicable disease, including COVID-19; (9) the required completion by Passenger at the time of engagement with onboard medical staff of any written authorizations or consent forms required for Windstar Cruises to carry out its communicable disease policies and procedures (including but not limited to medical information, medical privacy, or personal data privacy consent forms), and; (10) other policies and procedures deemed by Windstar Cruises in its sole discretion to be necessary to reduce the risk of spread of communicable diseases, including COVID-19.

(b) Compliance with Communicable Diseases Policies and Procedures is Required. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in Windstar Cruises’ refund policies and procedures, any noncompliance by Passenger or members of Passenger’s travelling party with Windstar Cruises’ communicable disease policies and procedures or this Contract shall be grounds for refusal to board, refusal to re-board after going ashore, quarantining and/or isolating onboard the Vessel, disembarkation, reporting to governmental or health authorities, or other steps deemed necessary in Windstar Cruises’ sole discretion under the circumstances to protect the health and well-being of others. Under these circumstances, Passenger shall not be entitled to a refund or compensation of any kind. Passenger will be responsible for all related costs and fines, including without limitation travel expenses and for proper travel documentation for any port, or for departure from or arrival to Passenger’s country of residence. Under no circumstances shall Windstar Cruises have any other liability for any compensation or other damages or expenses whatsoever incurred by any Passenger as a result of such denial of boarding, refusal to re-board, quarantine, disembarkation, or other steps taken by Windstar Cruises.

(c) Passenger Health Screening Pre-Cruise. Passenger agrees that Windstar Cruises may conduct pre-embarkation screening for communicable illness, including COVID-19. Passengers should refer to Windstar Cruises’ website for standards and updates on pre-embarkation screening protocols. If Windstar Cruises determines in its sole discretion that Passenger is unfit to board because of any communicable illness, including COVID-19, Windstar Cruises may deny boarding to such Passenger.

(d) Passenger Testing Positive for COVID-19 During Cruise. Passenger understands and agrees that if, after boarding, and even if Passenger has fully complied with all COVID-19 policies and procedures, Passenger tests positive for COVID-19 or exhibits signs or symptoms of COVID-19, Windstar Cruises may disembark, refuse re-boarding, or quarantine and/or isolate Passenger as well as members of Passenger’s travelling party, or take other steps which Windstar Cruises determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary under the circumstances to protect the health and well-being of others. Under no circumstances shall Windstar Cruises be liable to any such Passenger for any costs, damages or expenses whatsoever incurred by any Passenger.

FITNESS TO TRAVEL; SPECIAL MEDICAL CARE:

(a) Consultation with Personal Physician. Passengers are encouraged to discuss the advisability of travel with their personal physicians and to review the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) website for updated information. The CDC has identified elderly persons and persons with certain chronic medical conditions as being at increased risk of life threatening complications from being infected with COVID-19. PASSENGER ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS AND ACCEPTS THAT DURING TRAVEL TO AND FROM THE SHIP, WHILE ABOARD THE SHIP, OR DURING ACTIVITIES ASHORE, PASSENGER OR OTHER PASSENGERS MAY BE EXPOSED TO COMMUNICABLE ILLNESSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COVID-19 AND ITS VARIANTS, INFLUENZA, COLDS, NOROVIRUS, AND POTENTIALLY DISEASES NOT YET KNOWN. PASSENGER FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND ACCEPTS THAT THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO COMMUNICABLE ILLNESSES AND OTHER DISEASES IS INHERENT IN MOST ACTIVITIES WHERE PEOPLE INTERACT OR SHARE COMMON FACILITIES INCLUDE PERSON TO PERSON CONTACT, IS BEYOND WINDSTAR CRUISES’ CONTROL, AND CANNOT BE

ELIMINATED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. PASSENGER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ACCEPTS THESE RISKS AS PART OF THIS TICKET CONTRACT, INCLUDING THE RISK OF SERIOUS ILLNESS OR DEATH ARISING FROM SUCH EXPOSURES, AND/OR ALL RELATED DAMAGES, LOSS, COSTS AND EXPENSES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER.

(b) Availability of Medical Care, including Medical Evacuation, and Passenger’s Warranty of Fitness to Travel. Passenger acknowledges that due to the nature of travel by sea and the ports visited, the availability of medical care onboard the Ship and in ports of call may be limited or delayed and medical evacuation may not be possible from the Ship while at sea or from every location to which the Ship sails. Passenger further understands that there may be circumstances beyond Windstar Cruises’ control, which may prevent or delay a medical evacuation or disembarkation. Passenger warrants that the Passenger, and those for whom the Passenger is responsible, are fit to travel at the time of embarkation.

(c) Medical Care and Personal Services. To the extent Passengers retain the services of medical personnel or independent contractors on or off the Ship, Passengers do so at their sole risk.

(d) Pregnancy. Passenger agrees not to present herself for boarding under any circumstances if, by the time the Passenger commences her travel with Windstar Cruises, she will have entered the 24th week of pregnancy.

(e) Special Needs. Any Passenger with mobility, communication or other impairments, or other special or medical needs that may require medical care or special accommodations during the cruise, including but not limited to the use of any service animal, should be reported to Windstar Cruises by the Passenger when a reservation is requested. Passenger agrees to accept responsibility and reimburse Windstar Cruises for any loss, damage or expense whatsoever related to the presence of any service dog brought on board the Vessel. Passengers with special needs are advised that certain international safety requirements, shipbuilding requirements, and/or applicable regulations may cause difficulty for mobility impaired persons or persons with severely impaired sight and/or hearing. Passengers requiring the use of a wheelchair must provide their own wheelchair (that must be of a size and type that can be accommodated on the Ship), which should be confirmed at the time of the reservation. Passenger acknowledges that standard cabins are not designed to be barrier free and wheelchair accessible.

(f) Limitation of Liability for Denial of Boarding / Repatriation for Passenger Noncompliance with this Contract. Windstar Cruises shall have the right to deny boarding for violations of any of the pre-cruise policies set forth in this Contract. If Windstar Cruises exercises its rights to deny boarding, Passenger shall have no claim against Windstar Cruises whatsoever, and Windstar Cruises shall have no liability for refund, compensation loss or damages of Passenger, including but not limited to any expenses incurred by Passenger for accommodations or repatriation.

FARES, NON-DISCOUNTABLE AMOUNTS, GOVERNMENT

TAXES & FEES: Cruises reserves the right not to honor any published prices that it determines were erroneous due to printing, electronic, or clerical error. Each Cruise fare includes a Non-Discountable Amount. That portion of the fare is both non-commissionable to travel professionals and not subject to reduction in the event of a percentage discount promotion, 2-for-1 promotion, or otherwise. If cost factors dictate the need for fare increases, Windstar Cruises may do so at any time prior to departure. Guests can cancel (without paying a cancellation fee) rather than accept a fare increase. Suggested onboard gratuities are extra.

Government Taxes & Fees, as used by us, include, without limitation, all government-imposed taxes and fees for the performance of the cruise and related purchases, such as port head taxes, VAT, air, and hotel taxes and similar fees and taxes assessed on the transaction. These amounts represent our best estimates of government taxes and fees related to this itinerary. They are based on estimates derived from actual fees and taxes paid in prior years or from estimates provided by port agents in the ports to be visited on the cruise. We do

not expect there to be any material difference between our estimates and the taxes and fees actually charged. Taxes & Fees are subject to change (but will not change after assessment due to currency fluctuations) and we reserve the right to collect any increases in effect at the time of sailing even if the fare has already been paid in full. No right of cancellation exists under these circumstances.

YACHTS OWNERSHIP AND REGISTRY: All Windstar Cruises Yachts are registered in the Bahamas and owned by Windstar Cruises Marshall Islands, LLC. Yacht ownership and registry are subject to change.

TRANSFERS/PRE- & POST-CRUISE SERVICES: Services for Windstar Cruises cruise-only guests (individuals who do not purchase air transportation or cruise extensions from Windstar Cruises) begin with embarkation at the noted time in your Cruise documents. Any transfers, meals, and dayroom accommodations required prior to this time are the responsibility of the guest. Please make a note of this, as many international flights arrive several hours prior to the scheduled embarkation time. Guests may purchase a transfer from local airport to yacht for day of cruising and from yacht to local airport for day of disembarkation directly through Windstar Cruises Guest Services. Guests flying on dates other than the date of (dis)embarkation must arrange their own transfers unless the reason for the different date is because of the purchase of a cruise extension from Windstar Cruises. Transfers for these guests will be available between airport, hotel, and pier, as appropriate, so long as the transfer dates coincide with the dates of the services purchased from Windstar Cruises.

SHIPBOARD ACCOUNT AND CURRENCY EXCHANGE: Our cashless experience is designed to make your life on board as simple as possible. On embarkation day, you will need to register your credit card (Visa®, Discover®, MasterCard®, or American Express®) in order to use your onboard account for shipboard purchases. We do not accept debit cards or prepaid cards. Your card will be pre-authorized at the start of the cruise for $1. You may make purchases by simply showing your guest identification card and signing a receipt. At the end of your Cruise, you will receive a final statement, and your card will be charged only for the actual amount of your purchases. Please inform your credit card issuer in advance that your card will be used on a Windstar Yacht. This will help prevent delays in obtaining pre-authorization on board. Products and services on board are in USD. Windstar is not liable for any foreign exchange fees imposed by your card issuer.

WINDSTAR AIR PACKAGE ARRANGEMENTS BY WINDSTAR CRUISES

MARSHALL ISLANDS, LLC: If you are purchasing a Windstar Air Package, we will arrange for air transportation to the departure point of your Cruise and return air transportation from the termination point of your Cruise to the home city from which you departed. Due to the special fares and capacity controls we have with airlines, we retain the right to select carriers and determine routings. Some routings may involve travel to or from an airport other than in the city where the Ship embarks or disembarks. In those cases, motor coach transportation to and/or from the Ship will be provided. Flight schedules and/or availability may require overnight hotel accommodations either to join and/or to return from your Cruise. Due to airline schedules (and occasionally, lack of flight availability), travel between many major cities and your Cruise may require one (1) or more hotel overnights en route. If necessary, the cost of this hotel accommodation is not included in the airfare and is your responsibility. Hotels will be selected by Windstar Cruises and might not be at the port. You are responsible for meals and items of a personal nature.

SCHEDULE CHANGES; AIR DELAYS: We reserve the right to alter air flights as required by airline schedule changes. If tickets have already been issued, we will adjust your itinerary or air carrier, accordingly. In that event, we may ask you to return your tickets. Should you choose to alter your airline schedule in any way once your tickets have been issued, airline charges which result will be your responsibility. If our assistance is requested in changing airline arrangements within sixty (60) days of departure, an additional administrative charge will be levied in addition to any charges imposed by airlines. If your flights are delayed, refer to our Setting Sail booklet for instructions.

SEAT ASSIGNMENTS; SPECIAL SERVICES; FARES; LOST TICKETS; BAGGAGE CHARGES; AIR TAXES AND FEES: We cannot make or confirm seat assignments, special meals, or other special services. Your travel agent may assist with these arrangements. If, however, airline fuel or other surcharges or additional governmental taxes or levies are imposed, we reserve the right to pass these through to you. Please keep your airline tickets in a safe place. Should they be lost, you will be responsible for their replacement. Each airline has its own baggage allowance policy. You are responsible for any excess baggage charges imposed by airlines. Air add-on costs quoted by Windstar Cruises will not include passenger facility charges, federal flight segment taxes for each flight segment (takeoff and landing), the September 11 Security Fee per passenger enplanement, international arrival and departure taxes assessed in foreign countries (the amount of which may be charged in the currency of the foreign country and is subject to change), or new taxes which may be enacted.

LIABILITY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH

AIRLINES: We will use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for your air transportation. If, however, due to any cause beyond our control, we are unable to arrange for air transportation (including, for example, because of capacity controls placed upon us by airlines due to the types of fares under which we book) or the air transportation we arrange is unavailable or otherwise fails to materialize, our sole liability will be limited to refunding the air add-on paid. Our relationship with airlines is that of an independent travel agent. We assume no liability for any acts or omissions of any airline including, without limitation, those involving cancellation of flights, schedule changes, re-routings, damage to or delay or loss of baggage, flight delays, equipment failures, accidents, pilot or other staff shortages, overbooking, or computer errors. Accordingly, you will not have any right to claim or recover against us as a consequence of any act or omission of any airline. The liabilities and obligations of an airline to you, and your rights against an airline, are subject to any and all terms and conditions of the airline’s ticket and tariffs and any and all governmental laws and regulations bearing upon or otherwise relating to such rights, liabilities, and obligations.

LIABILITY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH WINDSTAR LAND PACKAGE PROVIDERS: If, due to any cause beyond our control, we are unable to arrange for any Windstar Land Package or any desired portion thereof, our sole liability will be limited to refunding the Windstar Land Package add-on paid. Our relationship with providers of Windstar Land Package accommodations or services is that of an independent travel agent. We assume no liability for any acts or omissions of any Windstar Land Package provider or subcontractor including, without limitation, cancellation, damage to or delay or loss of baggage, delays (including any delay in rejoining the Ship or missing the sailing or any flight), equipment failures, accidents, staff shortages, overbooking, or computer errors.
