Windstar 2021/2022

WINDSTAR Cruises has gone digital with its 2021/22 small ship cruise brochure, with itineraries in Mexico, the South Pacific, and the West Coast of the United States.

New voyages visit the Black Sea and the Gulf of California, with 2021 to also see Windstar’s transformation of its three allsuite yachts as part of its Star Plus class initiative.

With many of Windstar’s new itineraries this year cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the repealing of Star Breeze’s local deployment (CW 20 May), 2021 will also now feature new ports in Alaska, cruises to the Holy Lands, and additional offerings in Canada and New England.

Breeze will be redeployed in the Sea of Cortez, and will also fill in for Wind Spirit, which will instead visit Asia Pacific destinations such as the Coral Sea, Port Vila and Vanuatu.

“The global cruise industry is facing its biggest challenge yet, but we’re incredibly optimistic for the future of small ship cruising and Windstar,” said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Todd.

“That’s why we’re excited to put out this brochure, because dreaming about and planning the next trip is a hopeful and uplifting experience.

“We want to celebrate that travel promise and also give our customers the confidence needed to book, along with the assurance that we will protect their investment should plans change.”

Windstar recently announced it has retrofitted its fleet for health and safety post-coronavirus with HEPA filters, UV-C light and EvaClean to help with on-board sanitisation (CW 17 Jul).
