Windstar Cruises Introduces New Yacht and Voyage Collection
May 15, 2013
The new voyages open for sale today, and feature four new itineraries exclusive to the all-suite yacht, including Windstar's new itinerary through the Black Sea. Star Pride's nine distinctive voyages highlight small-ship ports throughout the Mediterranean seas and French Riviera, tucking into tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can't reach. The collection features voyages from May 5 to October 21, 2014.
The four exclusive Star Pride 2014 European voyages include:
