A highlight of Windstar’s 2026 offerings is its first-ever solar eclipse voyage. On August 12, 2026, the Star Pride will be positioned within the path of totality for a special “Around Iceland: A Total Solar Eclipse” cruise.

For those seeking an extended adventure, Windstar presents the “Star Collector, 2026 Grand Europe Adventure,” an 81-day voyage starting in Helsinki on July 14 and concluding in Athens. This trip will visit 67 ports across 20 countries, featuring overnight stays and late-night departures.

New for 2026 are cruise tours from Madrid, circumnavigation of Ireland, exploration of Italy’s Aeolian Islands, and adventures in Northern Greece. Guests can also enjoy new shore excursions, including chocolate-making in Bruges and lyra lessons in Thessaloniki.

Jess Peterson, Windstar Cruises’ itinerary planner, emphasizes the focus on regional exploration, providing more small-ship only destinations, overnight stays, and unique experiences for a deeper look at Europe’s highlights.
