What You Will Enjoy On Every Celebration Escapes & Windstar Journey

Windstar Cruises-wind-star-1600x

HARDLY A CRUISE FOR EVERYONE, BUT LIKELY THE CRUISE FOR YOU …

Banish cliché, toss aside regimen, steer clear of stuffy.

Our perfectly sized ships make it possible to flip the script on cruising. Free yourself from crowds and indulge all your senses, especially your sense of wonder. Experience cultures in ways that are personal and authentic, with the power to change your perspective. With 148–310 guests, a Windstar ship is large enough to pamper, yet small enough to explore secluded coves and docks in the heart of charming villages, sparkling cities and remote islands.

DELIGHT IN THE UNEXPECTED

Yes, our ships are beautiful, but their real beauty lies in how close they can get you to the kind of authentic, immersive experiences you’re looking for. Have dinner with a Croatian family in their village home, and see what life is like from a local perspective. Take a culinary tour in Da Nang, and see the cultural role food plays in Vietnam. And our carefully curated onboard lecturers deepen and enhance your experiences with an insider’s look at intriguing local topics, like the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. Get closer to each destination through the best small ports and hidden harbors, for access to different cultures and far-off lands.

Our shore excursions are incomparable, once-in-a-lifetime adventures. We’ll help you select shore experiences that are suited to you, from certified SCUBA dives and rejuvenating baths in volcanic springs, to archaeological wonders and regional wine tastings. Small group excursions can take you to meet locals eager to share their homes, cuisines and cultures. It’s an unparalleled way to experience other lands and see the world from a new perspective.

CLOSER TO THE WORLD

It’s knowing to bring you the exact right thing at the exact right time. An exquisitely made hand-crafted cocktail when you’re savoring the sea breeze from your deck chair. A perfect chocolate soufflé, as you contemplate what the lovely night has in store. A welcoming smile and warmed refresher towel waiting for you after seeing sights you still can’t quite believe you saw. Every moment we’ll be near at hand, making sure you’re the favored recipient of unprecedented, award-winning service.  WORLD-CLASS SERVICE THAT’S A WORLD APART …  The moment you board you’ll feel it: an ever-attentive crew at your service, providing you with what you want and need, when you want and need it. Delighting in your smile. Taking pure pleasure in your contentment. The Windstar staff-to-guest ratio is 1:1.5, and it shows. It’s why Windstar was named for Best Service last year in the Cruise Critic Cruisers’ Choice Awards.

NEW WORLDS, NEW FRIENDS

Cruising on a Windstar small ship is like going to your favorite neighborhood restaurant, where you see friends at the table across the way and the staff knows exactly what you'll order. It's an intimate experience where you'll share stories with like-minded travelers as you explore the world together. You'll experience new cultures with locals, making meals together and learning about their traditions and everyday life. Come up to the Open Bridge for a chat with the Captain and coffee with the First Mate, if not just to see the sunrise over the bow.  Laugh with friends old and new at our Signature Onboard Barbeque and line dance the night away with your  crew. No matter when your travels take you, know that your Windstar family is with you.

Client Love!

We've cruised for many years but cruising with Celebration Escapes & Windstar Cruises  was a totally different experience. Everything was Luxury all the way but very casual and understated. It's great for cruising enthusiasts to have several different cruising options now.

We loved how Celebration Escapes planned experiences in the ports designed just for us. Our group felt like royalty on this journey and we all loved every minute of it.

~ Bruce & Audrey

Thank you Celebration Escapes for making this journey a milestone memory. We wanted to sail on an extraordinary ship to a destination we wanted to experience for a long time. It was a Dream we had...for our 15 year Anniversary Pamala delivered that Dream and really did transform it into one of our most beautiful memories.
