A first for Windstar in 2020, the boutique line debuts a new Star Collector: Grand Caribbean Adventure aboard the Wind Surf, the world’s largest sailing ship. The nearly two-month itinerary features a first-time-ever visit to the Panama Canal for Wind Surf where the ship will bring guests on a journey through the three-tiered Gatun Locks, the historic Atlantic connector locks, followed by scenic cruising on Gatun Lake, then back to the Caribbean through the Gatun Locks that afternoon. The journey calls on 38 ports and 27 countries in just 56 days.

“At Windstar we are on a mission to deliver the most authentic destination experiences in small ship cruising and this Grand Caribbean sailing is a perfect example of how we do things 180 degrees from ordinary,” said Windstar President John Delaney. “No other cruise line has ever offered such an expansive sailing in this part of the world, visiting 38 ports and 27 countries. And the fact that we offer this on the world’s largest sailing ship with our open bridge policy, complimentary water sports marina and Signature Beach Barbecues will ensure our guests experience the very best of these beautiful warm water destinations.”

The collection of Sea of Cortez, Coastal, Canal, and Caribbean Sea voyages emphasizes hidden harbors on smaller islands and inland coves like Bequia and Mayreau in the Grenadines, and Bahia Herradura in Costa Rica.

The popular Star Collector cruises provide opportunities for travelers to create epic itineraries that are new era voyages of discovery in 2019/20 starting with the 56-day Grand Caribbean Adventure.
