About Star Explorer
Be one of the first to experience Star Explorer, the second of Windstar’s newest yachts, during her first-ever sailing season beginning December 2026 in the Mediterranean! Featuring our new specialty restaurant Basil + Bamboo, upgraded amenities and 112 spacious suites — nearly all with a full private veranda or a floor-to-ceiling infinity window that opens to let in the breeze — Star Explorer is a fresh take on our Star Class that remains unmistakably Windstar.
