Windstar's ship Star Legend, a 312-guest, all-suite vessel, will serve as a centerpiece for industry engagement during Cannes' International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM), held on December 3rd and 4th.
This premier trade show for luxury travel professionals provides an ideal platform for Windstar to highlight the ship’s offerings to travel advisors, media representatives, and key industry partners.
While anchored in the harbor, Star Legend will host guided ship tours with private shuttles facilitating transportation between the trade show venue and the ship. Travel advisors and media attendees can register for visits on December 3rd and 4th. Windstar executives, including VP of Sales Dianna Rom and Director of Sales Gina McGinnis, will be on-site at ILTM, while onboard guests will be welcomed by Sales Operations Manager Steve Furlong, Trade Marketing Manager Valentina Daniel, and Public Relations Director Sarah Scoltock. Visitors will experience Star Legend’s expansive suites, fine dining options, spa facilities, and a range of other upscale amenities.
The Star Legend is currently completing her second year of year-round Mediterranean cruising, a decision influenced by positive feedback from guests regarding off-season sailings, which Windstar has branded as the “Mediterranean’s local season.” These quieter travel periods have drawn favorable responses for offering unique cultural experiences with fewer crowds. Based on this success, Windstar has expanded its Mediterranean itineraries to 6 distinct routes, allowing travelers to craft extended voyages. Departure ports include Piraeus/Athens, Barcelona, Malaga, Civitavecchia/Rome, and Venice, catering to a variety of preferences for immersive Mediterranean exploration.
The ILTM Cannes event will enable Windstar Cruises to highlight its commitment to luxury, customization, and off-season travel, offering an exclusive opportunity for partners to preview the Star Legend experience firsthand.
