One of the few cruise lines sailing in the Mediterranean in winter, Windstar Cruises is happy to announce its new 2025/2026 Winter Mediterranean voyages and sail dates. These new trips include six Star Collectors, sailings combining itineraries for more in-depth exploration.
Windstar’s winter sailings highlight ports the cruise line normally does not visit in the summer like València, Spain; Crotone, Italy; and Catania, Sicily. The cruise line’s 2025/2026 season also debuts a brand-new port: Genoa, Italy. In Genoa, guests can explore the most important maritime museum in the Mediterranean, visit the biggest aquarium in Europe and wander Palazzi dei Rolli.
All sailings take place aboard the 312-guest, all-suite Star Legend. Sailings depart from Athens, Barcelona, Malaga, Rome and Venice from November 2025 through March 2026. The new sailings are: eight-day Myths & Marvels of the Aegean; eight-day A Piece of Greece, a Slice of Sicily & the Corinth Canal; seven-day Southern Spain Winter Escapes; seven-day Europe Winter Riviera; eight-day Winter in Italy & the Dalmatian Coast; eight-day Winter in Italy & the Adriatic; and Star Collectors from 14 to 24 days.
In addition to new sailings, Windstar pairs an Early Booking offer for travelers. This offer includes $200 onboard credit per stateroom and a complimentary upgrade to All-Inclusive Fares. This means WiFi; gratuities; and unlimited beer, wine and cocktails at no additional charge. This offer ends Oct. 31, 2025.
