Solo travel is elevated aboard
a Windstar journey.
Solo travel seemingly started as an offbeat trend, but in recent years it became an off-the-beaten-path tradition for millions. And that’s not just an anecdotal observation. Between 2019 and 2021, there was a 761 percent increase in the number of Google searches for “solo travel.” As more and more travelers seek the freedom, independence, and confidence of traveling alone, travel innovators are delivering on the demand.
Windstar Cruises has long been ahead of the curve and is already catering to solo passengers who are happy to chart their own course. For starters, the company greatly reduces, and often even waives, single supplement fees, allowing those sans a plus one to unwind in their luxurious stateroom and revel in the freedom to choose experiences on their own terms. There’s even a special dinner on board for solo guests, allowing them to mingle with others who share their independent spirit and love of travel.
Adding to the allure of going solo, Windstar’s intimate fleet of yachts allow for making new friends easily — you’ll never sail with more than 342 other guests, but you will sail to the hidden harbors, iconic cities, and stunning beach locations that bigger ships simply can’t access. For passengers, this equates to an unprecedented level of freedom, not to mention extra time at destinations to explore more deeply. This private yacht style of travel lends itself to more time in ports and no time wasted in the disembarking line or transferring from dock to land. Access to small piers, yacht harbors, and even direct beach access also means you can enjoy unscheduled, authentic small-group tours or independent exploration. Windstar’s professional naturalists, lecturers, and adventure guides allow guests the opportunity to deepen their appreciation of the local culture.
If that’s not enough to whet your appetite, there’s this: Windstar is the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation. And Windstar’s most recent partnership with the National Health Association (NHA) has passengers excited. Windstar worked in tandem with the NHA to provide a new wholefood, plant-based menu on board all six of the small ship line’s yachts. The offerings are not only plant-based, they’re also minimally processed and prepared without added salt, oil, or sugar, and they’re gluten-free.
