Star Explorer
Be among the first to sail on Star Explorer, Windstar’s newest yacht, debuting in the Mediterranean in December 2026! Featuring 112 spacious suites - most with private verandas or floor-to-ceiling infinity windows, upgraded amenities, and the new specialty restaurant Basil + Bamboo, Star Explorer redefines our Star Class with unmistakable Windstar style.
Entertainment
Entertainment is typically low key - listen to cocktail music in the bar after dinner, enjoy a drink in Star Bar on the top deck or in Compass Rose - a comfortable indoor space. Talks and destination briefings take place everyday in the Lounge.
