Windstar Cruises

Company History

Windstar Cruises was founded in 1984 with a vision to offer intimate, yacht-style cruising to discerning travellers. Known for its fleet of small ships and sailing vessels, Windstar delivers immersive, destination-focused experiences with a relaxed, upscale atmosphere. The line underwent a major fleet expansion and renovation in the 2010s, and continues to offer unique itineraries across Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and beyond.
