Windstar opens bookings for new ship
Windstar Cruises has opened reservations for newest ship, Star Seeker, which will join the fleet in December 2025.
The line announced itinerary plans for the 112-suite yacht’s inaugural season in the Caribbean, Alaska and Japan.
The maiden voyage will depart from Málaga on 28 December 2025, crossing the Atlantic with a special stop in Tenerife for a New Year’s Eve celebration alongside sister ship, Wind Star.
The cruise ends on 13 January 2026 in Miami, where the christening ceremony will be held.
There will be invitation-only special events and ship tours in Miami to celebrate Star Seeker’s addition to the fleet.
On 15 January 2026, Star Seeker will then set sail on an eight-day Caribbean cruise from Miami to San Juan with stops in the Dominican Republic and British Virgin Islands.
This is the first of several Star Seeker sailings in the Caribbean region before the yacht heads through the Panama Canal and towards Alaska and Japan.
Windstar President Christopher Prelog said: “We have some celebrations planned to bring Star Seeker together with other Windstar ships in the Caribbean. It will be a warm welcome to the fleet for our new ship.”
The ship will sail Alaska cruises from May to August 2026. There are several epic options to make the trip from San Juan to Juneau (49 days), Costa Rica to Juneau (25 days) and Mexico to Juneau (17 days).
The ship will offer two main Alaska itineraries, a seven or eight-day Scenic Alaska cruise or a longer 10-, 11-, or 12-day Alaskan Splendors cruise, both sailing from Vancouver Juneau or vice versa.
Windstar will bring back its popular Signature Expedition program to get guests closer to Alaska’s scenery including up-close views of scenic fjords and tidewater glaciers.
Following Alaska, Star Seeker will cross the Pacific to Japan in early September, where Windstar will bring back its popular Grand Japan itinerary on four dates through October.
