Windstar marks Travel Agent Month with cruise giveaway, bonus commission

Windstar Cruises is celebrating Travel Advisor Appreciation Month in May by rolling out rewards, incentives, and valuable booking tools.

The highlight of Windstar’s Travel Advisor Appreciation Month is the grand prize giveaway: a seven-day Dreams of Tahiti cruise for two to Tahiti, including roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles (LAX).

The cruise is valid for departures through March 31, 2027, offering the winner ample flexibility to plan the ultimate South Pacific escape. 

Booking window & bonus commission

From May 1–31, every client booking for a 2026 Windstar cruise qualifies the travel advisor for one entry toward the Tahiti grand prize drawing.

In addition, advisors will earn a $100 bonus commission per stateroom, paid in addition to standard commission. There is no limit on the number of entries or bonus commissions advisors can earn.

Q2 comp all-in package

Bookings made during Travel Advisor Appreciation Month also qualify clients for Windstar’s Q2 promotional offer, which includes a Complimentary All-In Package.

This enhanced value makes it easier for advisors to close sales while delivering a more seamless, inclusive cruise experience for their clients.

“Travel advisors are at the heart of everything we do,” said Janet Bava, Windstar’s chief commercial officer, in a release. “Their knowledge, dedication, and ability to match the right guest with the right itinerary are essential to our success.”

Travel advisor FAM rates 

A collection of sailings across the line’s sailing regions are offered at reduced rates especially for travel advisors. 

Travel Advisor FAM fares are significantly reduced rates, sometimes half off, full public cruise fares, and in some cases exceed one‑third off, depending on sailing and availability.

What’s on deck for 2026?

Windstar will debut another key closing tool in early May: Peace of Mind Promise with Cancel for Any Reason.

This flexible new – and complimentary – policy is designed to reassure both advisors and their clients, providing added confidence to book Windstar voyages through March 31, 2027.  

All eyes are on Windstar in 2026 with the debut season of Star Seeker, its new 224-guest all-suite yacht sailing Alaska, Japan, and Southeast Asia, along with a fall Mystery Cruise in Spain.

Then, Windstar welcomes its second new ship, Star Explorer, in December 2026.
