Cruise Details
It’s no secret that small-ship cruises are just about the biggest thing in the Caribbean travel industry right now, as travel agents have been telling our sister publication, Caribbean Travel Advisor.
While newer boutique brands like the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection have been finding renown, the core of the market is smaller ships like Seabourn and Windstar, which have decades of experience in the Caribbean market.
Now Windstar is adding a new ship to the region, with the planned debut of the 112-suite Star Seeker ship late next year.
Beginning in early 2026, Star Seeker will be sailing out of PortMiami to the Caribbean, with an inaugural cruise that stops in the Dominican Republic and in the British Virgin Islands and concludes in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
That’s one of a number of Caribbean cruises for the ship before it heads on a Panama Canal cruise.
Conclusion
The Star Seeker’s Caribbean cruise journey is a unique opportunity, and it’s essential to plan ahead to secure the best packages. With the ship’s likely one-time visit, this might be the last chance to experience Windstar’s Caribbean magic.
