Windstar Cruises is expanding its popular Cruise Beyond promotion. It runs across summer European departures through 31 October 2026. The offer gives travellers more time to secure savings on small-ship voyages across Europe and beyond.
Guests can enjoy up to one-third off cruise fares. They also receive a complimentary all-inclusive package worth up to £74 per guest nightly.
The Cruise Beyond promotion covers a wide selection of 2026 European itineraries. The package includes selected wine, beer, cocktails, Wi-Fi, and gratuities.
Travellers booking non-European sailings can still receive the all-inclusive package. Eligible departures run through 30 June 2027.
Italy Cruises Highlight Coastal Villages and Historic Cities
Windstar’s Italian voyages explore coastal villages, island destinations, and famous cultural landmarks. Guests can visit Sicily, Elba, the Amalfi Coast, Rome, and Venice.
New 2026 itineraries include Bella Italia, A Southern Italian Romance and Treasure Troves of Corsica & Sardinia. Popular return itineraries also include Adriatic Icons & Venetian Treasures.
Greece Cruises Reach Hidden Islands and Historic Ports
Windstar offers Greek sailings aboard both sailing yachts and all-suite vessels. Travellers can discover iconic cities alongside quieter destinations inaccessible to larger ships. Ports include Patmos and Monemvasia, known for historic streets and scenic viewpoints. New 2026 departures include Postcards from Northern Greece and Off The Beaten Path Greek Islands.
Quick European Getaways Offer Short Escape Options
Windstar also features short three- to five-night cruises across Europe. These itineraries combine famous cities with lesser-known coastal destinations.
Guests can sail from London’s Tower Bridge on a Sweet Getaway to Belguim or a St Malo Getaway. Additional options include A Taste of Southern France and La Dolce Vita in Italy and France.
Europe Cruises Deliver Deeper Exploration
Northern Europe itineraries focus on smaller ports and immersive travel experiences. Featured sailings include Tulip Season in Holland & Belgium, Endless Days in Norway, and Norway’s Southern Splendors.
Windstar’s Western Mediterranean cruises explore celebrated coastal destinations. Jewels of the Italian & French Rivieras sails round trip from Rome.
Stops include Cannes, Monte Carlo, Genoa, Portofino, Porto Ercole, and Bastia.
Small-Ship Travel Experiences
According to chief commercial officer Janet Bava, small ships allow guests to travel beyond crowded destinations. Windstar’s yachts carry between 148 and 342 guests.
This smaller scale creates a more personal onboard atmosphere. Guests enjoy easier access to hidden harbours, city centres, and smaller ports.
Activities may include paddleboarding from the yacht marina or joining local culinary experiences. As the official cruise line of the James Beard Foundation, Windstar also highlights destination-inspired dining.
Global Destinations Included
The extended promotion also covers voyages across several global regions. Year-round sailings visit Tahiti and wider French Polynesia. Popular itineraries include Maori Storytellers & French Polynesian Treasures and Far Flung French Polynesia & Marquesas Magic.
Windstar’s smaller vessels access quieter ports across the Canary Islands. Colourful Canary Islands allows more time to explore each destination.
Alaska itineraries focus on nature, wildlife, and remote landscapes. Scenic Alaska and Alaskan Splendors highlight fjords, glaciers, and coastal communities.
