First look at Windstar Cruises' Star Seeker accommodations

The ship will also offer five dining options (all included in the fare), a full-service spa with a grand entrance from the deck above, a fitness facility and a fresh take on the line’s watersports platform, which turns the ocean into an infinity pool by letting cruisers access the sea directly from the ship.

Tranquility

To achieve a sense of tranquility in the suites, 'We used light wood and a soothing color palette of light blues, greens, and natural browns – elements that reflect our Star-class style,' said Stijn Creupelandt, VP hotel operations, Windstar. 'Inspired by the sea, sky and landscapes, these colors and textures create a serene atmosphere perfect for a relaxing getaway.'

In the public spaces and restaurants, he continued, are 'more vibrant hues inspired by sunrises and sunsets, including warm yellows, golds, and oranges, ensuring a harmonious blend of elegance and comfort throughout the ship.'

The horizon owner’s suite, a new category for Windstar Cruises

New category of top suites

Star Seeker offers two horizon owner’s suites, a new suite category for the line, at the aft of the ship on Deck 7, which can be combined with adjacent suites for more space and multigenerational families. Each comes with a wrap-around balcony suitable for evening cocktails or dinner.

Another new category for Windstar Cruises is Star Seeker's infinity suite, with a large drop-down window

The ship has a dozen accommodation types, many allowing triple occupancy. Seventy-two suites have large verandas. New for Windstar are 30 infinity suites with a large floor-to-ceiling window that slides down half-way from the top to the open air.

As on all Windstar ships, there are no interior cabins. Star Seeker’s 10 ocean-view suites have a window, a walk-in mosaic glass shower and a queen bed convertible into two twins.

Suite amenities

All suites include a fully stocked mini-bar and refrigerator, interactive telvision, safe, fresh fruit and waffle weave robe and slippers. The four highest suite categories — horizon, star, classic, deluxe — add other amenities such as an Illy espresso machine, canapes service and fresh flowers.

Star Seeker is under construction at WestSea Viana in Portugal.

Itineraries

The maiden voyage will be a trans-Atlantic sailing in early January from Málaga to Miami. After a christening event in Miami, where the cruise line is headquartered, Star Seeker will sail its first voyage in the Caribbean and offer more cruises in the Caribbean before heading up the US West Coast to Alaska for a full season.

From there, the ship will sail to Japan to bring back the line’s popular Japan itineraries before heading to Southeast Asia. Yacht Club loyalty members and travel advisors will get the first details, giving them priority access to book. In early September, Star Seeker’s itineraries will be announced publicly and available for all to book. 

Windstar plans to debut a sister ship, Star Explorer, in December 2026. It's currently operating as World Explorer.
