Holiday Sailings Worth Celebrating
Celebrate Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas or New Year's on a Windstar holiday voyage.





Your Favorite Traditions. Somewhere Extraordinary.
Keep the traditions you love. We’ll take care of the rest. Celebrate aboard an intimate yacht with festive dining, live music, thoughtful touches and a crew who quickly learns your name. Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s feel wonderfully familiar, just with a very different view.
We’ll spoil you with our crew who will make this a holiday you’ll remember and strive to make it a part of your yearly tradition. They’ll share their traditions with your family as well.
On Christmas sailings, anticipate special welcome treats in your suite or stateroom, like Christmas cookies, candy canes, mandarin oranges, roasted peanuts and chocolate candies.
Travel with Windstar on New Year’s Eve, and have your camera ready to ring in the new year with a fireworks display like no other.
We’ll serve your holiday favorites, along with decadent options like butter-poached lobster tail. We make sure vegetarians don’t miss out either, with delicious creations like Roasted Pumpkin Squash Soup.
A holiday highlight is Windstar’s Christmas High Tea, featuring Christmas Cake and Stollen. Served in Compass Rose, the Lounge or on the open deck, this elegant affair is often accompanied by a local band.
Cheer on your favorite crew members as they display talents beyond their ability to read your mind and deliver top-notch service. They’ll keep you entertained in an evening full of warmth and good humor.
It's Knot Your Average Thanksgiving
Spend Thanksgiving aboard Star Legend on a 15-night transatlantic voyage departing November 12, with a full Thanksgiving dinner served at sea.
Christmas Morning Could Look Like This
Windstar's 2026 Christmas cruises sail either French Polynesia or Panama and Costa Rica aboard an intimate yacht serving fewer than 350 guests, with the full holiday dinner, music, and traditions on board.
New Year on a New Yacht
Be among the first to experience Star Explorer on her inaugural guest voyage, departing December 28, 2026, for nine nights through Southern Spain. Welcome the New Year with a gala celebration and Windstar’s bell tradition at midnight.
Windstar Holiday Voyages
When you’re not playing holiday trivia or watching holiday movies, you can join our New Year’s Eve deck party or the chef’s Christmas High Tea. And to top it all off, attend a Windstar Crew Show.
