Every cruise features Tracy Arm Fjord and Misty Fjords.
President John Delaney noted that Windstar's small-ship experience will enable passengers to sail closer to shorelines and deeper into fjords. There will be opportunities to explore by kayaks and Zodiacs directly from Star Legend.
Delaney said the line is working to arrange customized bucket-list experience like the chance to hike atop Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau, zip-line over crystal-clear creeks in bear country, snap a classic whale tail picture during a romantic deck-side dinner and explore Petroglyph Beach in Wrangell, a destination rarely visited by cruise ships.
Each cruise will visit seven to eight Alaska and British Columbia ports. Due to its small size, Star Legend will sail right into Misty Fjords and Kenai Fjords. Naturalists and expedition leaders will accompany all cruises, and Native American speakers are planned.
The Alaska season follows Windstar's recently announced Asia season aboard Star Legend. That ends with a voyage from Tokyo to Seward, a 14-day trans-Pacific cruise that also stops at Miyako, Hakodate and Kushiro in Japan.
Once in Alaska, Star Legend will operate eight departures of three itineraries including a 14-day Seward to Vancouver option, a 12-day Vancouver round-trip and 11- or 12-day Vancouver to Seward voyages. Windstar also plans to offer pre- and post-cruise land excursions.
