Windstar Cruises, one of few lines to sail in the Mediterranean during the winter, has unveiled its 2025/2026 voyages and sail dates including six unique itineraries plus six Star Collectors that combine itineraries for more in-depth exploration.
It is coupled with an early booking offer which includes a $200 onboard credit per stateroom plus a complimentary upgrade to all-inclusive fares.
“Sailing year-round in the Mediterranean has been very successful for Windstar, so much so that we are now expanding our winter offerings due to its popularity,” says Windstar president Christopher Prelog.
“Winter is a fantastic time to see a different side of this magical region, get to know the locals, and celebrate special holidays like Christmas in Florence, New Years in Dubrovnik, and Carnevale across Italy.”
Windstar’s winter sailings, all on the 312-guest Star Legend, pictured, highlight ports that it doesn’t normally visit during the summer, such Valencia, Spain; Crotone, Italy; and Catania in Sicily.
The 2025/2026 season also debuts the Italian port of Genoa, where guests can visit the most important maritime museum in the Mediterranean, experience the biggest aquarium in Europe, or wander the Palazzi dei Rolli with its stunning palaces from the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
Sailings depart from Athens, Barcelona, Malaga, Rome and Venice from November 2025 to March 2026.
