our partnerships: windstar cruises

Each month, we’ll be highlighting a supplier partnership with a company that we’re especially passionate about. This month, we’d like to introduce you to Windsar - small ship yacht cruises that are 180 Degrees from Ordinary.

Windstar Cruises offers a vacation experience that is 180 degrees from ordinary. They invite you to step away from the crowds and enjoy a small ship experience where freedom is the order of the day and casual elegance is the style of choice. Each yacht allows guests to sail among only 148-342 guests for a more intimate and personalized travel experience; all while you travel to the world’s most legendary places, best small ports and hidden harbors. For anyone yearning for a more authentic travel experience, your yacht has arrived.

The food is excellent. Windstar Cruises partners with the James Beard Foundation, which nominates and chooses winners of its culinary excellence awards, referred to as the “Oscars" of the restaurant industry. There are excellent options for vegan and vegetarian travelers, as well; Windstar has pioneered a special plant-based menu, with options for travelers of every dietary stripe.

We’ve got a couple of fabulous opportunities to experience Windstar on our calendar. This spring, we’ll be sailing from Venice to Athens, along the Croatian coast, with stops in Slovenia and Montenegro, as well as a spectacular transit through the Corinth Canal — an experience you’d never have on a big ship.

And in July, 2026, we’ll be taking a group to Alaska on Windstar’s newest yacht. Windstar hasn’t been back to Alaska in a few years, and this itinerary has glaciers, wildlife, gold-rush history, and much, much more! We’ve got the best pricing locked in, already, so if Alaska has been on your list, let us know if you’d like to reserve your space!

We’re so passionate about our partnership with Windstar — it’s unlike any other “cruise” vacation you could imagine. If you’d like to see for yourself, drop us a line, and we’re happy to show you more.
