Travel Squad Vacations
    Windstar Cruises

    Windstargroup rates.

    Small-ship sailing yachts and all-suite power yachts for 148-342 guests.

    Windstar Cruises operates the most distinctive small-ship fleet in the industry — three iconic sailing yachts (Wind Star, Wind Spirit, Wind Surf) and three all-suite power yachts (Star Breeze, Star Legend, Star Pride). Travel Squad Vacations holds exclusive agency group rates on Windstar Mediterranean, Caribbean, Adriatic, and Panama Canal sailings spanning 2026 and 2027.
    Windstar's sailing yachts (Wind Star, Wind Spirit, Wind Surf) are unlike anything else at sea — actual computer-controlled sailing rigs that unfurl to the strains of Vangelis's '1492' as the ship leaves port, an experience guests describe as the most magical moment in modern cruising. The 148-342 guest ships access ports the megaships can't (private bays, small Greek islands, Caribbean hideaways) and offer water-sports platforms that lower from the stern for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding directly off the ship. Our group block includes Wind Spirit Athens to Rome (July 2026, 21 days), Wind Surf Venice to Lisbon (October 2026, 23 nights), Star Legend Athens to Istanbul (October 2026, 8 nights), Wind Star Puerto Caldera to Colon Panama (December 2026, 7 nights), Star Explorer Barcelona to Venice (March 2027, 15 nights), Star Pride Mediterranean (multiple sailings), and the Star Breeze and Star Legend Caribbean inventory.

    Frequently Asked

    Windstar questions.

    Are Windstar sailing yachts actually sail-powered?

    Yes — partially. Wind Star, Wind Spirit, and Wind Surf have computer-controlled sailing rigs that unfurl when wind conditions allow, supplementing diesel propulsion. The famous 'sailaway' moment when the sails unfurl to '1492: Conquest of Paradise' is one of the most distinctive experiences in modern cruising. Wind speed and direction determine how much of the journey is actually under sail.

    Which Windstar ship is best for first-time guests?

    For travelers new to small-ship cruising, we typically recommend Star Breeze, Star Legend, or Star Pride — the three all-suite power yachts (212 guests). The suite-only configuration, slightly larger size, and full restaurant lineup make for an easier transition from larger ships. For travelers seeking the iconic sailing experience, Wind Surf (342 guests) is the largest of the three sailing yachts.

    What Windstar sailings does Travel Squad Vacations have group rates on?

    Our Windstar group block includes 7 marquee sailings: Wind Spirit Athens to Rome 21 days (July 2026), Wind Star Spirit Barcelona to Rome 7 days (August 2026), Wind Surf Venice to Lisbon 23 nights (October 2026), Star Legend Athens to Istanbul 8 nights (October 2026), Wind Star Puerto Caldera to Colon Panama 7 nights (December 2026), and Star Explorer Barcelona to Venice 15 nights (March 2027).

    Is Windstar all-inclusive?

    Windstar offers an optional 'All-Inclusive' fare that adds beverages, Wi-Fi, and gratuities for a per-day supplement, but the standard cruise fare is not all-inclusive. Many travelers prefer the standard fare and pay à la carte for what they actually use. Our advisors will calculate which structure makes sense for your sailing.
