Windstar Cruises by If Only

Overview

Ah, we do love a cruise here at If Only. Drawing the curtains each morning to reveal an entirely new landscape and traversing the great seas on board a ship with masses of amenities and ways to entertain yourself. What could be better? Well, perhaps you’d prefer to have all of this in a more relaxed, intimate setting. Windstar Cruises, voted The World’s Best Small Ship Cruise Line, offer just that; their ships accommodate between 148 and 342 guests and provide a sense of privacy, freedom and intimacy.

Eat

While some cruise lines may view dining as an addendum to the overall cruising experience, Windstar place it right at the heart of what they do. Windstar see dining as a way to bring people together and inspire. Every day, the ship’s chef procures fresh, local ingredients from local markets and brings them back on board, meaning that each port of call replenishes you in new and surprising ways. Additionally, Windstar offers guests culinary shore excursions so you can truly immerse yourself in the local cuisine.

Dream

As much as adventure feeds the soul, the tired legs it leaves behind deserve pampering too. Plush Egyptian linens and luxurious marble bathrooms are the sort of lavish comforts which make you think “Yeah, I do deserve a treat!”. All the best products will assist you in feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to go each day, and if that doesn’t do it, those magnificent sea views will.

Play

When it comes to shore excursions, “you don’t want to just dip a toe in local culture, you want to dive into the deep end”. Windstar’s excursions focus on authenticity and allowing you to really experience life like a local. More than 2,000 excursions take you further than just the main attractions and are ideal whether your passion is food, history or just getting out and about. Windstar devote time and resources into hand selecting the perfect excursions which are right for you.

Unwind

It’s easy to completely unwind on board a Windstar cruise due to their smaller size. Watching the horizon slowly move is uniquely calming, especially safe in the knowledge that you’re on route to another incredible destination. Guests can also make use of the abundant amenities with an All Inclusive package for supreme indulgence.
