Windstar Cruises has confirmed it will sail its first-ever series of cruises from the UK in 2026
The line’s 312-guest Star Pride will offer three short taster itineraries as well as two longer sailings from London to the Norwegian Fjords.
The initial three- and four-night cruises will be tailored to guests who have never cruised before, those looking for a “quick holiday fix” and MICE bookings.
Augustus Lonsdale, Windstar Cruises’ head of sales, said: “This is a first for Windstar and it clearly demonstrates the commitment to the UK market and our customers from both Windstar and our wider ownership group.
“After a strong 2024, and with great forward business set for 2025, this is a pivotal time for sales from this region for Windstar Cruises. I am sure that the taster cruises will prove very popular with both new-to-cruise and new-to-Windstar guests and will be instrumental helping us grow our business from the UK market.”
