Windstar Cruises offers free all-inclusive upgrade on worldwide voyages.

Windstar Cruises launched a new all-inclusive offer, featuring a limited-time complimentary upgrade on voyages around the world. Available on select sailings booked between April 1, 2026 and June 30, 2026 for travel through June 30, 2027, the promotion includes Wi-Fi, gratuities and select unlimited cocktails, wine by the glass and beer. It's a value of more than $1,300 on a seven-day voyage for two guests.

The offer pairs Windstar's small-ship experience with added value across a wide range of itineraries, from winter sailings in the Mediterranean to far-reaching journeys in Tahiti and Alaska. This makes it an especially smart time to plan ahead and experience cruising that's 180 degrees from ordinary.

Global Portfolio Coverage

With voyages spanning multiple continents and a range of travel styles, the all-inclusive offer is designed to appeal to both first-time Windstar guests and returning travelers. The promotion applies across all regions in Windstar's global portfolio within the travel window, with a small number of exclusions including select specialty sailings such as the Grand Prix, Eclipse and Mystery cruises.

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.

Supporting Travel Advisors

"Our small ships allow travel advisors to present clients with a truly unique experience, sailing into city centers, visiting hidden coastal gems, and exploring iconic destinations in a relaxed, uncrowded setting," said Janet Bava, Chief Commercial Officer at Windstar Cruises. "With our All-Inclusive offer, we're making it easier for advisors to close sales by offering more value at every turn. This promotion gives advisors a powerful story to share with clients, making Windstar's small-ship cruises an even more attractive choice."

The promotion is designed to support bookings across both peak and shoulder seasons, with a particular focus on Europe and the Mediterranean, as well as year-round destinations such as Tahiti and Alaska.

What's Included

For travelers planning ahead for sailings through June 30, 2027, the complimentary all-inclusive offer provides a limited-time opportunity to secure preferred sailings while taking advantage of added value. The complimentary upgrade applies to bookings made from April 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026 and includes Wi-Fi, gratuities, and select unlimited cocktails, wine by the glass and beer.

These inclusions join Windstar's already impressive lineup of complimentary amenities, such as dining at various specialty restaurants, 24-hour room service, gym and sauna access on Star Class ships, signature onboard celebrations, marina activities, plus exclusive Discovery Events on shore.

About Windstar Cruises

For four decades, Windstar Cruises has been reimagining small-ship cruising with a distinctive blend of relaxed luxury and genuine connection to the world's most captivating destinations. From its origins with motor sailing yachts tailored for upscale yet casual travel, Windstar has grown into a diverse fleet of four Star Class all-suite yachts, including its newest addition of Star Seeker in December 2025, and three Wind Class sailing yachts, offering voyages that are both intimate and inspiring.

Star Explorer is set to debut in December 2026, expanding the fleet to eight yachts accommodating 150 to 350 guests. Windstar's legendary Wind Class sailing yachts are also undergoing a meticulous two-phase redesign to be completed by 2027.

Windstar yachts sail to more than 330 ports across Europe, the Caribbean, Costa Rica and the Panama Canal, Alaska, Canada and New England, Japan, the South Pacific, and Asia. Unlike most cruise lines, Windstar sails year-round in the Mediterranean and Tahiti, offering different destination experiences seasonally.
