Windstar Cruises is inviting travelers to secure their place in the wild beauty of the North by opening bookings for its 2028 Alaska season. Just as the new, 224-guest yacht Star Seeker begins its inaugural Alaskan journey, the cruise line is already planning ahead for those who wish to experience the Great Land at eye level. These small-ship voyages are designed to provide a more thoughtful and intimate way to explore, navigating deep into fjords and reaching remote communities that larger vessels simply cannot access.
The 2028 program offers a diverse selection of 27 departures across six unique itineraries, ranging from week-long escapes to expansive 33-day Star Collector journeys that cross the Pacific to Japan. A standout feature of the season is the Denali Cruise Tours, which provide guests with extended time in Alaska’s interior to witness North America’s tallest peak and iconic wildlife like grizzly bears and caribou. Onboard, the experience is equally refined, featuring all-suite accommodations—nearly all with private verandas or infinity windows—and a world-class culinary program inspired by the James Beard Foundation.
For travelers eager to lock in their dream adventure, Windstar is offering a limited-time Early Booking Offer through June 30, 2026. This promotion ensures the best suite selection and fares, with an additional five percent savings available for those who choose to pay in full at the time of booking. Whether you are kayaking past a calving glacier or enjoying locally sourced salmon on deck, these 2028 sailings promise a deeply immersive connection to one of the world’s most spectacular destinations.
