Next Stop: Destinations Unknown



Last year, guests boarded Windstar's first Mystery Cruise in Greece armed with maps, lists and theories about where they might be headed. Soon the guessing became part of the fun, with contests to predict the next port. By the end, many were calling it one of their most memorable sailings.

That voyage sold out, and the next filled in a matter of hours. Now, the mystery continues on these upcoming voyages, with a friendly crew ready to welcome you aboard.

How It Works

On most voyages, you know every stop before you leave home. On a Mystery Cruise, the anticipation begins again each time another port is revealed.

You’ll begin with two points on the map: where you’ll board and where you’ll disembark. Each night, a clue about the next port appears in your suite, and the destination is revealed 36 hours before arrival. That gives you time to learn about the port and decide whether to explore independently or take a Windstar shore excursion, available at every stop.

And with at least two ports on every itinerary Windstar has never called at, you'll be among the first of our guests to step ashore.

What Stays the Same

Whether you're threading through the coves of the Mediterranean, tracing the coastlines of Northern Europe, or discovering the ports of Japan, a Mystery Cruise reminds you that great travel is about who you're going with as much as where you're going.

On an all-suite yacht with fewer than 350 guests, you'll trade theories with fellow guests, share each reveal and return every evening to the same welcoming crew and a yacht that already feels like home.
