Windstar in Europe
Windstar operates year-round in Europe, offering your clients opportunities to explore picturesque villages and stay overnight in iconic cities. The cruise line is known for its in-depth explorations of Greece and Iceland and is gaining popularity for its Mediterranean cruises from November to March, featuring unique harbors accessible during the off-peak tourism season.
Holiday sailings around Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s are ideal for families and couples looking for a stress-free holiday experience. In late December, ships are decorated with seasonal decorations, including Christmas trees and winter scenes. Activities include traditional carol singing, holiday movie screenings and cookie decorating.
The holiday menus feature traditional items like prime rib, turkey and honey-glazed ham, supplemented with local fish and other non-traditional dishes. During Hanukkah, your clients can participate in flameless menorah lighting and blessings, detailed in each ship’s Daily Program and Wayfinder. New Year’s celebrations include a special dinner, a deck party and a midnight Champagne toast with a unique Windstar tradition where the oldest crew member rings out the old year and the youngest welcomes the new one.
Windstar’s fleet includes the Star Plus Class (Star Breeze, Star Legend, Star Pride) and the Wind Class (Wind Star, Wind Surf, Wind Spirit). Note: The sale goes live on July 17, 2024.
