The cruise line’s new product will combine the joys of exploring the world’s waterways with the peaceful serenity with ocean cruises
Windstar’s newest yacht, Star Explorer, will drivie the new product line forward. Purpose-built for river-to-ocean travel, the yacht is designed to navigate meandering rivers that are too small for larger ships and reach coastal destinations small river ships cannot.
The new product gives agents an exciting option to offer their clients who want to travel further without compromising the style of travel they already love. Agents can build on the same intimate, destination-focused experience their clients love while opening the door to new regions and itineraries.
Some of Star Explorer’s 2027 voyages include the 10-night ‘Impressionist France’ itinerary, which is an ideal choice for Seine veterans ready to go further. Prices lead in from £6,326 per person. Another option is the eight-night ‘Moroccan Markets & Iberian Icons’ sailing for Danube cruisers seeking deeper cultural exploration. Prices start from £6,100 per person.
Chief commercial officer Janet Bava said, “River cruisers are among the most loyal and engaged travellers, but many have already explored the world’s most iconic waterways. With Windstar, agents now have a seamless way to retain those clients by offering something new: yachts that move from rivers to the open sea, unlocking destinations that traditional river ships and large ocean vessels simply can’t reach.”
“It is a natural next step for clients and a growth opportunity for agents.”
