Small Ship Mediterranean Cruises
Experience the Mediterranean in Private Yacht Style
Immerse yourself in local life at fascinating small destinations like Giardini Naxos and Portofino.
At major cities like Dubrovnik, our yachts dock closer to historic town centers — with evening stays and overnights to give you time for exploration.
Take advantage of exclusive experiences like attending the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monte Carlo or transiting Greece's narrow Corinth Canal.
Dive deeper with Cruise Tours offering you the best of land and sea — everything from Meteora in Greece to Lake Como in Italy and beyond.
Visit Christmas markets and explore at your own pace during the Mediterranean's festive Local Season.
Get Closer to the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean is full of breathtaking sights, from the colorful villages of Cinque Terre to the stunning Alhambra and the historic Belém Tower. With Windstar, you’ll get closer to it all.
Sail the Guadalquivir River — Spain’s only navigable river — right into Seville. Drop anchor in the heart of Old Town Dubrovnik while bigger ships stay farther out. Explore a local market with a Windstar Chef. Soak up the charm of small ports like Portoferraio in Italy and Kotor in Montenegro. And wake up to a new destination almost every day.
Year-Round Cruises in the Mediterranean
Time in the Mediterranean is measured in centuries, not minutes. We design our itineraries to show you both the big cities and overlooked places — from small towns full of friendly locals to secluded ports beloved by yachting enthusiasts.
And now that we sail in the Mediterranean year-round, we can share one of its best-kept secrets — the months between September and March when you get to experience the best parts of Europe’s cities while getting to enjoy seasonal exclusives with the locals — aptly called the “Local Season.”
