Windstar Cruises An ocean yacht that sails into the heart of Europe

Windstar Cruises An ocean yacht that sails into the heart of Europe. Star Explorer's 2027 RiverOcean Voyages combine ocean cruising with inland river passages, docking in the heart of Bordeaux, sailing the Seine into Rouen and arriving in Seville via the Guadalquivir.

Ocean Meets River

 

Most voyages to Seville start on a bus from the coast. This one starts on the Guadalquivir — Star Explorer threading an inland river until the Torre del Oro appears and you step onto the banks of Andalusia’s capital. Flamenco tablaos, the Alcázar and sherry bars all within walking distance.
 
It’s one of the inland arrivals that Star Explorer makes across Europe this season, the kind of approach a yacht with just 224 guests is small enough to pull off.

 

In Bordeaux, she docks along the city's UNESCO-listed waterfront, close enough to walk to your first glass of wine country rosé. And on the Seine, she sails past the Normandy coast and into Rouen, Monet’s cathedral city and the gateway to Paris.

 

Three river arrivals to cities you'd never reach from the coast — and a season’s worth of European coastline in between.
