Windstar will operate its first ever series of cruises home-porting in London in 2026.
The cruises, starting in May 2026, will be on its 312-passenger motor yacht Star Pride.
It will operate three short ‘taster’ cruises, and two longer cruises through the Norwegian fjords.
Windstar said the cruises are ‘the perfect introduction’ for customers who’ve never cruised before, and an opportunity for incentive business and groups.
Itineraries include a three-night cruise to Belgium, a four-nighter to St Malo, a 13-night cruise to Belgium and the Norwegian fjords, and a 10-night cruise to Norway.
Prices for the shorter cruises start at £1,355.
Windstar Head of Sales Augustus Lonsdale said: “I’m really excited that Star Pride will be homeporting in my home town of London in 2026.
“This is a first for Windstar and it clearly demonstrates the commitment to the UK market and our customers from both Windstar and our wider ownership group.
“After a strong 2024, and with great forward business set for 2025, this is a pivotal time for sales from this region for Windstar Cruises.
“I am sure that the taster cruises will prove very popular with both new-to-cruise and new-to-Windstar guests and will be instrumental helping us grow our business from the UK market.”
