Windstar Cruises Launches Adventure-Filled ‘Mystery Cruise’ for 2025

Share

Windstar Cruises is introducing an innovative travel concept that’s all about surprise and adventure with its upcoming “mystery cruise.” Set to embark on April 19, 2025, from Athens, this unique eight-day voyage aboard the Star Legend invites guests to embrace the unknown, as the destinations will remain a secret until just 24 hours before arrival at each port.

The idea for this mystery cruise emerged from an unexpected itinerary change during Windstar’s “Tahiti & the Tuamotu Islands” sailing, which led to an overwhelmingly positive guest response. Inspired by this, Windstar’s leadership team saw an opportunity to craft an entire voyage around the excitement of discovery and the thrill of not knowing the next destination.

Janet Bava, Windstar’s Chief Commercial Officer, hints at an itinerary filled with new and uncharted destinations for the cruise line, promising a journey of true exploration. “It’s going to be a lot of places—the majority of them, if not all of them—we haven’t been before,” said Bava, adding to the allure of the voyage.

The mystery cruise concept is not just about exploring hidden gems but also about rekindling the sense of adventure that is at the heart of travel. This voyage is designed for those who delight in the unexpected, offering a break from meticulously planned itineraries to experience the joy of discovery and spontaneity.

Chris Prelog, President of Windstar Cruises, emphasized the unique appeal of the cruise, “It’s something different, something really interesting. It’s a cruise for guests who like adventure, who don’t want to plan everything out.” Prelog will also join the sailing, embracing the mystery as much as the guests, since even he will be in the dark about the destinations until the last minute.

This president’s cruise promises an unparalleled adventure, inviting guests to trust in Windstar’s expertise for an unforgettable journey of discovery. With its surprise stops and carefully curated selection of shore excursions revealed only as each new destination is announced, the mystery cruise is poised to awaken the adventurer in every traveler, offering a fresh and exhilarating take on cruising.
