Windstar’s Star Seeker Launches First Alaska Season

Windstar Cruises has opened bookings for its 2028 Alaska season aboard Star Seeker, featuring 27 departures across six distinct itineraries from May through August. The program offers seven-day sailings, extended 10- to 12-day voyages, Denali Cruise Tours combining shipboard and land exploration, and luxury Star Collector sailings up to 33 days. Routes depart primarily from Vancouver and Juneau, navigating remote fjords including Endicott Arm and calling at smaller ports like Wrangell. Passengers can participate in guided kayak and Zodiac excursions with onboard Expedition Guides. Specialized itineraries pair Alaskan cruising with interior visits to Denali National Park and rail journeys through Alaska's wilderness. Extended options combine Alaskan ports with Pacific crossings to Tokyo, Osaka, and Japanese destinations. Early bookers securing reservations by June 30, 2026, access preferred sailing dates, enhanced stateroom selection, and discounted fares, with an additional 5% reduction for full prepayment.
