The Mediterranean isn’t only a summer story.

Sometimes, a different season reveals an entirely different side of the destination. ✨

With fewer peak-season crowds, a more relaxed pace and more time to connect with local life, Star Explorer’s winter Mediterranean voyages offer clients a fresh way to experience Europe.

For travel advisors, it’s an ideal fit for clients who have already visited the region, enjoy traveling outside peak season or simply prefer a slower, more immersive journey.

A new all-suite yacht. A new season to explore. A different perspective on the Mediterranean. ⚓

Not every holiday traveler is searching for a destination. 🎄✨

Sometimes they're searching for a different way to spend the season.

Less planning. Less cooking. Less cleaning. Less hosting.

For many travelers, holiday travel is appealing because it creates space for what matters most: spending time together, celebrating meaningful moments, and enjoying experiences without the usual responsibilities waiting at home.

That's what makes this such an important travel advisor conversation.

The destination may be part of the recommendation.

But the motivation is often much bigger than where they're going.

Sometimes the best holiday memories begin when someone decides not to host. ⚓

Two clients can book the exact same voyage for completely different reasons. ✨

One has spent years dreaming about a destination. The other is celebrating a milestone they never want to forget.

Understanding that difference can completely change the conversation.

While destinations often get the attention, travel motivations are what help advisors uncover the experiences, moments, and memories clients are truly looking for.

Because the destination may be the request.

But the motivation is often where the opportunity begins. ⚓

10/08/2026

When discussing a voyage with clients, it's easy to focus on destinations, ports and included experiences.

But often, it's the details between those moments that guests remember most.

The personalized service. The sense of familiarity onboard. The feeling of returning to a yacht that already feels like home.

Those are the moments that transform a trip into something more meaningful.

As you match clients with the right sailing, remember that the onboard experience is part of the destination too.

Because the stories guests tell long after they return home are often found in the moments, they never expected to remember.

Not every holiday traveler is looking for the same thing. 🎄✨

Some are looking for quality time with family. Others want to celebrate a milestone, escape the holiday rush, start a new tradition, or finally take the trip they've been talking about for years.

That's what makes holiday travel such an important conversation for travel advisors.

The destination may be part of the story, but the real opportunity is understanding why a client wants to travel during the holidays in the first place.

Because the best holiday recommendations aren't built around a destination.

They're built around the traveler. ⚓

The best suite conversations aren't about square footage.

They're about the experience. ✨

From a wrap-around balcony and floor-to-ceiling views to elevated amenities and spaces designed for entertaining, Star Explorer's Owner's Suite offers a more personalized way to experience the journey.

For travel advisors, it's an ideal option for milestone celebrations, special occasions, multi-generational travel, and clients looking to make an already memorable voyage even more extraordinary.

Because sometimes the suite becomes part of the destination itself. ⚓

Travel has a way of becoming more meaningful when you're invited a little deeper into the destination. ✨

That's the idea behind Windstar's Destination Discovery Events.

Available on select voyages, these complimentary experiences are designed to connect guests with the stories, traditions, culture, and people that make each destination unique.

For travel advisors, Destination Discovery Events can be a powerful way to bring the Windstar experience to life during client conversations. They go beyond the itinerary itself, helping travelers envision the kinds of memorable moments that can't be replicated on their own.

When clients ask what makes Windstar different, these are the experiences worth talking about.

⚓ Because sometimes the most memorable part of the journey is the invitation that comes with it.

Before the first guest steps aboard, there's a tremendous amount of work happening behind the scenes. ✨

From dry dock preparations and technical upgrades to onboard spaces beginning to take shape, every milestone brings Star Explorer one step closer to her debut.

For travel advisors, it's an exciting reminder that Windstar's newest yacht is getting closer to welcoming guests and creating new opportunities for future client conversations.

We're looking forward to sharing more behind-the-scenes updates as Star Explorer continues her journey toward December 2026. ⚓

Some of Windstar's most memorable experiences happen around the table. 🍽️

Meet Darin Epp, Windstar's longest-serving Executive Chef, whose 14 years aboard our yachts have been dedicated to creating meaningful culinary experiences for guests around the world.

When asked what every travel advisor should know about selling Windstar, Darin's answer focused on what sets us apart: immersive destinations, personal connections, and experiences that stay with guests long after they return home.

His recommendation? Wind Surf and Wind Star, where sailing, destination discovery, and local culinary traditions come together in unforgettable ways.

✨ Follow along as we continue introducing the people behind Windstar's 180° from Ordinary® experience.

Some clients know exactly what they want.

Others just know they want a great view. 👀

That's where understanding the difference between Star Explorer's Infinity Suites and Veranda Suites can make all the difference.

While both offer compelling ways to experience the journey, the decision often comes down to personal preference. Does your client value expansive views, natural light, and a closer connection to the destination from inside their suite? Or are they looking for a traditional veranda and private outdoor space?

The best recommendation isn't about choosing the "better" suite.

It's about helping clients choose the suite that best matches the way they want to travel. ✨

⚓ Travel Advisor Tip: When discussing accommodations, focus on how clients want to experience the voyage, not just the suite specifications.
