In this special bonus episode of the Cruise Corner Podcast, Windstar Cruise’s Helen Beck and Augustus Lonsdale chat to us about the line’s groundbreaking ocean-to-river packages ahead of their launch in 2027
Earlier this year, Windstar announced that its new all-suite yacht, Star Explorer, will sail a selection of European itineraries combining Europe’s most popular ocean and river destinations.
This will include the 10-night Impressionist France departure from Bordeaux to London which pairs the Seine and the Thames, and the eight-night Connoisseur's Delight: Northern Spain and Portugal departure which sails on the Garonne and Gironde rivers as well as the Spanish coast.
Helen and Gus join co-host Josie Klein to talk about the similarities between river and small-ship cruising before exploring how the initiative can help agents retain and grow their business.
