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.
Amsterdam, the Venice of the North, where more than 1,500 bridges arch gracefully over scenic canals. The stately 17th century homes of Dutch merchants line the canals and museums are everywhere, filled with masterpieces from the Dutch Golden Age. Most of the sightseeing essentials are conveniently collected in the Canal Ring, the central area of the city which is designated as a UNESCO site. Here you'll find the Anne Frank House, the Royal Palace, the Red Light District, and most of the museums. Mind all the bicycles!
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.
Sitting on the estuary where the Seine River meets the English Channel, the charming character of this harbor town has been the subject of artists like Claude Monet and Eugene Boudin. The 15th century St. Catherine's church is an interesting vaulted timber structure built by shipbuilders. And a walk along the edge of the Honfleur Estuary will pass town gardens, beaches, and a view of the Normandy Bridge. You can also find the intriguing local cider along the Route du Cidre.
