Windstar Cruises Christmas and New Year

Windstar's Christmas and New Year luxury cruise deals provide some of the market's best sailing ship vacation options during the most joyful time of the year. Windstar ships offer stylish upscale voyages, marked by superior service and unique itineraries with less crowded ports of call along the route.

On Windstar Xmas holiday voyages guests will find active, well-traveled and well-educated travelers of all ages, hailing from the UK, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. They all enjoy the more laid-back atmosphere of the brand's "small ship cruise" vacations, and the idea of tall ship sailing on custom-tailored itineraries.

The cheapest Windstar deals are on roundtrip Caribbean itineraries leaving from Philipsburg (Saint Maarten) and Bridgetown (Barbados) on the fleet's smaller ships (Wind Surf and Wind Star). A feature December Holiday destination is French Polynesia on Wind Spirit (leaving from Tahiti). Other "new big ship" specialties are the acquired from Seabourn larger boats (Star Pride, Star Breeze, Star Legend). The company also has signature voyages featuring the Panama Canal and North America's Pacific coast.

Windstar brand's travel experience features cozy, intimate and most sophisticated atmosphere. The line's a la carte pricing strategy (not common to other luxury lines) means paying extra for airfare, shore excursions, fitness classes, cocktails and the like.

So Windstar fares fall in the moderate category. "Casual elegance" is the dress code designated on board, and that idea overtakes the Holiday vibe. Tourists leave ties and formal wear at home in favor of casual country club sportswear - day and night. Few activities are organized and none of the Vegas-style typical lines revues. Each ship features a watersports marina.

While the vessel is anchored or docked in ports, passengers can try Windstar's complimentary watersports activities, like swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, even wind sailing and waterskiing. One of the biggest changes for Windstar are the upgrades of onboard dining options. Now cuisine aims to highlight the local food of the regions visited. Extra attention is paid to high-quality ingredients and special dietary needs.
