Windstar Cruises is celebrating a significant milestone with the official delivery of its newest all-suite yacht, the Star Seeker, on December 15 at the WestSEA Shipyard in Portugal. This beautiful 224-guest vessel represents the first new build in Windstar’s Star Class, marking an exciting expansion of their fleet and reinforcing their commitment to intimate, destination-focused cruising. The handover ceremony was a proud moment for all involved, from the Windstar leadership to the dedicated shipyard team.

The Star Seeker is set to embark on its maiden voyage from Málaga, Spain, to Miami, where a christening ceremony will take place on January 15. Following this, the yacht will begin an inaugural season exploring the vibrant Caribbean, offering guests access to both popular ports and charming smaller islands that larger ships cannot reach. This will be followed by a highly anticipated season in Alaska, where its compact size and expansive open decks are perfectly suited for breathtaking glacier viewing and exciting wildlife encounters, enhanced by direct access to the ocean via the innovative Marina with Expedition Guides.

Designed with guest comfort and environmental responsibility in mind, the Star Seeker boasts 112 ocean-view suites, many with private verandas, and introduces two new Horizon Owner’s suites. Guests will enjoy five diverse dining venues, including the new Mediterranean-Asian inspired Basil + Bamboo, and a WorldSpa by Windstar for transformative wellness experiences. The yacht also integrates cutting-edge sustainability and safety technologies, such as advanced engines, shore power connectivity, and sophisticated wastewater treatment systems, ensuring an unforgettable and responsible travel experience. The Star Seeker will be joined by its sister yacht, Star Explorer, in December 2026, further opening up new possibilities for enriching itineraries in desirable global destinations.
