You are sailing into the fabled port (ancient, romantic) you’ve seen in travel books and magazines, only the breeze on your skin tells you: it’s real. You are gliding through a beautiful harbor in the Mediterranean, the Greek Isles, the Panama Canal, Costa Rica or the Caribbean.

The destinations of Windstar are classic sailing playgrounds, irresistible in every era, for the simple reason that their aura of cool elegance and sportive privilege never go out of style. This classic elegance is mirrored in the Windstar experience on board as well. Throughout you’ll find an intimate and refined ambiance, with an emphasis on expansive choices, unfettered access, and the liberty to do…whatever you desire.

You might spend time in the ship’s library, pouring over an atlas or choosing a CD or DVD to take back to your stateroom. Whereas you will find all manner of new appointments aboard our ships, from flat-screen LCD televisions to granite-clad surfaces and updated fitness rooms, the real luxuries Windstar offers are not luxuries “du jour” but rather, luxuries of the heart. Absolute freedom, a relaxed sense of being, a lighter mind.
