8 Nights on Star Pride
Visit Holland at the height of tulip season on this Northern Europe cruise, when the country’s fields explode in vibrant swaths of every imaginable color. Wander through the enchanting Keukenhof Gardens, home to millions of blooms. Then, set off on a coastal voyage to small countryside cities. Explore the quaint streets of Harlingen — a small-ship exclusive — and wander along its old canals, merchant houses and charming little alleys. Rotterdam offers a mix of modernity and history, with its bustling seaport and the timeless beauty of The Hague. Enjoy an overnight in Antwerp, whose exclusive seaport accepts only one ship per day, and explore the city’s rich artistic heritage — and the world’s largest Diamond District. From the culinary delights of Bruges to the architectural wonders of Ghent, each call is a chapter in a story of discovery and delight.
Popular Highlights
Overnight in Amsterdam with plenty of time to explore the local museums, picnic in Vondelpark, and stroll the canal in the evening.
Late night port stays in Bruges and Rotterdam ensure you’ll be able to see everything on your list before returning to your ship.
No stop in Antwerp is complete without a visit to Antwerpen-Centraal train station – an architectural gem with a spectacular great hall and ornate details at every turn.
Visit an authentic working windmill in Rotterdam and learn the different techniques used during operation.
In Harlingen, learn about the “fight against water” at UNESCO World Heritage site Woudagemaal. This is the world's largest steam-powered pumping station and pumps 1 million gallons per minute.
Bruges is your gateway to Ghent, one of Belgium’s oldest cities and the historic capital of Flanders. Ghent is best known for its famous medieval monasteries and gothic style cathedrals.
Complimentary Windstar Destination Discovery Event
Tower of London at Sunset
London Destination Discovery Event will offer guests exclusive after-hours access to one of London's most iconic historic landmarks, directly across the Thames from the ship at HMS Belfast. Following an early dinner onboard, guests will be welcomed into the Tower by Yeoman Warders. The Yeoman Warders, known popularly as Beefeaters, are no ordinary guides: each is a retired senior non-commissioned officer of the British Armed Forces with at least 22 years of service, and their role as guardians of the Tower stretches back to the reign of Henry VII. The evening begins with a private viewing of the Crown Jewels before entering a British-themed evening reception in the historic New Armouries Courtyard. Set within the walls of the Tower of London and surrounded by centuries of royal history and architecture, the outdoor reception serves as the centerpiece of the evening. Following a ceremonial trumpet welcome, guests will enjoy British-inspired food and beverages, live music, and exclusive access to select areas of the fortress. An indoor venue is available as a weather contingency. Throughout the evening, guests will be free to explore at their own pace, including the White Tower, home to the famous Line of Kings exhibition, the armor of Henry VIII, and displays from the Royal Armouries collection. Guests will also have access to the historic Battlements, offering exceptional views of Tower Bridge and their Windstar yacht below. Yeoman Warders will remain available throughout the evening to share stories and interact with guests, creating a unique and immersive experience that combines royal history, British traditions, and privileged access normally unavailable to the public.

<strong data-end="76" data-start="62">Oudeschild</strong> is a picturesque fishing village on <strong data-end="122" data-start="113">Texel</strong>, the largest of the Dutch Wadden Islands located just off the north coast of the Netherlands. Known for its lively harbor and authentic maritime charm, Oudeschild offers visitors a glimpse into island life with fresh seafood, traditional fishing boats, and the fascinating Maritime and Beachcombers Museum. It’s an ideal spot to experience Texel’s coastal culture and scenic beauty.
This historic harbor town has a long history of fishing and shipping, and is filled with old canals, well-preserved merchants' houses, and 17th century warehouses. Wander through town to the 18th century City Hall and wait for the next hour or half hour when the carillon will chime its pretty melody, or enjoy a pleasurable scavenger hunt as you search for gable stones. These carved and often painted stone tablets were set into the walls of buildings in olden times to help people navigate the streets before the advent of house numbers. Many give you clues to the building's former purpose.
This popular beach resort draws thousands of Belgians and British daytrippers for its sun, sailing, surfing, and casino. As a busy ferry port for more than 150 years, Oostende also provides quick access to Bruges and Ghent, two of Belgium's most attractive destinations.

Diamonds, beer, waffles, chocolate. What’s not to like? Thanks to its success at monopolizing world trade in the 16th century the city boasts beautiful architecture, from ornately designed churches and cathedrals to the stylish guild houses fronting the market square. It’s easy to see why the city attracted artists like Rubens, Van Dyck and Jordaens. The old medieval fortress by the river, Het Steen, opened as the new cruise terminal in 2021. The train station is also worth a look with its mix of styles, from an Art Nouveau façade to Roman columns to a contemporary steel-and-glass dome.

Sail inland from the North Sea along the Scheldt River, passing the historic Fort Liefkenshoek before continuing toward the vast port of Antwerp, where flat landscapes, historic trading towns, and quiet countryside unfold along the banks.
Sail the storied River Thames into or out of the heart of London, cruising beneath iconic Tower Bridge—a privilege only smaller ships can enjoy—and passing the Tower of London, the historic Royal Observatory at Greenwich marking the Prime Meridian, and the beautifully preserved Cutty Sark, the legendary 19th-century tea clipper. As you continue eastward, the skyline gradually gives way to the open waters of the English Channel.
London, one of the world's top destinations, is a city begging to be explored. Steeped in history, the well-known sites of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square beckon, or get a modern perspective from the top of the London Eye. This cosmopolitan city offers all the world cuisines you're used to, but there are still places to find traditional British fare like bangers and mash or shepherds' pie.
