Windstar Cruises Launches New Offer with Complimentary All-Inclusive Upgrade

Windstar Cruises is making it easier for advisors to pitch the upgrade: The cruise line is offering a complimentary All-Inclusive package on select sailings booked between April 1 and June 30, 2026 (travel through June 30, 2027). The deal bundles in Wi-Fi, gratuities, unlimited cocktails, wine by the glass, and beer—worth more than $1,300 per couple on a seven-day voyage.

The offer spans Windstar’s global portfolio, from Mediterranean winters and Tahitian escapes to Alaska sailings, across ships carrying just 148 to 342 guests. That small footprint is the real draw: it unlocks access to city centers, lesser-known harbors, and ports that larger ships simply can’t reach. Your clients spend less time lining up for deck space and more time actually exploring.

Janet Bava, Windstar’s chief commercial officer, framed it this way: “At Windstar, we believe in giving our guests more at every turn: more access, more connection, more choice and more culinary experiences.”

That translates practically into extended port time, more personalized service, and destination-driven food and wine programming courtesy of the cruise line’s James Beard Foundation partnership.

One note for advisors: specialty sailings including the Grand Prix, Eclipse, and Mystery cruises are excluded from the promotion. Standard itineraries across all regions are fair game.

Highlighted regions and itineraries include:

Europe and the Mediterranean (Year-Round): Windstar continues to expand its presence in Europe, including the debut of Star Explorer launching in December 2026. Alongside peak-season sailings, winter itineraries offer a quieter, more local perspective on iconic destinations. Voyages like Europe’s Winter Riviera (with extended stays in Nice, Florence and Barcelona) and Southern Spain Winter Escapes (which pairs Andalusian culture with food-focused experiences) invite guests to experience the region without the crowds. Across the Mediterranean, Windstar combines headline destinations with smaller ports often missed on larger ships. Treasure Troves of Corsica & Sardinia weaves together vineyard-covered hillsides and secluded harbors, while Treasures of Southern Spain & Morocco pairs Spanish coastal cities with time in Tangier’s medina.
South Pacific: Year-round voyages in French Polynesia highlight Windstar’s long-standing presence in Tahiti and the broader region. With its small ships, guests can go deeper on voyages like Maori Storytellers & French Polynesian Treasures (which includes the Cook Islands and extended time in Raiatea and Bora Bora) and Far Flung French Polynesia & Marquesas Magic (which reaches the remote Marquesas).
Greece: Windstar’s Greek itineraries include well-known sites and smaller ports with a more local perspective, plus time in neighboring destinations. Postcards from Northern Greece highlights lesser-visited destinations across Greece and western Turkey, while Enchanting Greece & the Amalfi Coast combines Windstar-favorite stops (Monemvasia, Gythion) with Pompeii and Taormina in Italy.
Canary Islands: Windstar’s small ships bring a different perspective to the Canary Islands, with access to smaller ports and a more relaxed pace across the archipelago. On sailings like Colorful Canary Islands, guests have time to explore each island beyond the usual stops.
Alaska: Windstar’s small ships offer closer access to glaciers, wildlife and remote wilderness areas. Itineraries like Scenic Alaska and Alaskan Splendors bring guests face-to-face with the landscapes, from glacier-carved fjords to coastal forests, with opportunities to experience local seafood and regional traditions along the way.
