Windstar offering new ways to explore Northern Europe in 2028

Windstar Cruises has opened its Summer 2028 Europe season for booking, with five yachts — Star Explorer, Star Legend, Star Pride, Wind Spirit and Wind Surf — sailing the Mediterranean and Northern Europe from March through October.

The season gives travel advisors 348 itinerary combinations to offer clients, ranging from four-day getaways designed to pair with a longer European vacation to a 53-day Grand Mediterranean Adventure from Tenerife in the Canary Islands to Venice.

For advisors, new reasons to sell Europe in 2028 include an expanded Germany program with sailings through the Kiel Canal and Elbe River, a voyage timed to Hamburg’s major maritime festival, a new Windstar port in Ireland’s Aran Islands and enhanced exploration of the British Isles aboard Windstar’s newest yacht Star Explorer.

In the Mediterranean, summer is prime time to experience Europe by yacht, with opportunities to swim and paddle directly from Windstar’s marina, call at smaller ports, and explore Greece, Italy, France and Croatia at the height of the season.

The 2028 program also brings enhanced Grand Prix sailings, a Mystery Cruise roundtrip from Athens and opportunities for extended exploration.

Stijn Creupelandt, chief operating officer of Windstar Cruises, explained that: “Europe is a destination many of our guests return to again and again, and in 2028 we’re giving them new ways to experience places they may think they already know.”

Creupelandt continued: “From sailing farther into the heart of destinations to timing voyages around cultural events, these itineraries give guests a different perspective on Europe. For travel advisors, that creates a compelling reason to start a new Europe conversation with both first-time and repeat guests.”

For a limited time, advisors can offer clients an Early Booking Offer with added value on eligible newly released 2028 Europe voyages booked by Oct. 31, 2026, including:
