Star Explorer debuts in 100 days, sailing her maiden voyage December 28 from Barcelona. Suites are limited, so now's the moment to reach out to clients who've been asking for more balcony suites, or who'd love to feel the ocean breeze from an open floor-to-ceiling infinity window. Her debut also opens a Local Season Mediterranean featuring two brand-new Destination Discovery Events exclusive to Windstar guests, in Livorno and Dubrovnik, on select winter sailings.

SPECIALS

In 100 days, you could be aboard Star Explorer's inaugural voyage, sailing from Barcelona along Spain's southern coast to Málaga to open her debut season. She will host just 224 guests, most enjoying suites with a private veranda or a floor-to-ceiling window that opens to let the sea breeze in. 

From there, voyages unfold across Europe taking you close enough to Venice's lagoon for Carnevale to be at a mask-maker's counter within minutes. You watch Barcelona lit up for Epiphany from the deck. And on select voyages, you step into exclusive Destination Discovery Events for Windstar guests: wine behind the walls of a Tuscan fortress in Livorno after the gates have closed to everyone else or cappella voices rising around you in a 15th-century cloister in Dubrovnik.

Star Explorer will make her home in Europe year-round — summer in Northern Europe, then back to the Mediterranean each fall. But her first months are yours to claim, and there's still time to be part of them.

Reserve your suite now, and be among the first Windstar guests ever to sail Star Explorer.
