Even though autumn seems to be delayed in Europe, a significant development has emerged in the itineraries for the upcoming winter months in the Western Mediterranean. Windstar Cruises has announced the deployment of the Star Legend from December to April along the coasts of Italy, France, and Spain, effectively introducing several new aspects.

First and foremost, having the Star Legend operate during what is commonly considered a “low tourist season” offers an opportunity to experience a cruise brand of absolute value and high quality, especially at a time when the supply of itineraries and ships in the Mediterranean is quite limited. Windstar not only provides attentive service, excellent cuisine, and a wholly unique environment but also represents a cruise concept that deviates significantly from the traditional offerings in the Mediterranean during the winter.

The Star Legend itinerary, with three overnights during the week, means you’ll have the chance to completely relax while visiting cities that won’t be as crowded as usual. You can appreciate their true identities during a period that allows for museum visits, leisurely shopping strolls, and interacting with locals without the stress of lines, crowds, and other inconveniences.

Traveling on a cruise during the winter season also means enjoying local initiatives, perhaps related to the holidays. It’s an added opportunity to experience Christmas in Rome, at the heart of the Vatican, or spend New Year’s Eve in vibrant Barcelona. And why not plan a cruise for Valentine’s Day, with a dinner on the waterfront in Nice or Saint-Tropez.

A cruise with a company like Windstar Cruises also means an intimate and informal atmosphere but with top-notch services that will make the ship a welcoming retreat during the winter days. You can unwind in the spa or gym, enjoy excellent dining, and experience the professionalism of the entire crew after returning from a city visit.

On the Star Legend, a beautiful ship with every modern comfort, spacious and bright cabins and suites, and 5-star service, assistance will be provided in Italian, French, and Spanish, in addition to English. This way, you can feel even more at ease, and after just a few hours on board, you’ll already regard the Star Legend as your grand and beautiful private yacht.

This is a novelty not to be missed, offering a taste of luxury cruising during the upcoming winter months and allowing for a truly relaxing vacation with an entirely innovative ship and itinerary.
