Windstar Cruises recently unveiled a first look at its new Star Seeker, a 224-guest ship that will set sail in January 2026. Star Seeker will boast 112 spacious suites, with all but 10 featuring a full private veranda or floor-to-ceiling infinity window, alongside five dining options, a full-service spa, a fitness facility and a fresh take on the brand’s iconic Watersports Platform.

A new category for Windstar debuts with this ship: Horizon Owner’s Suites, on the aft of deck 7. These can be combined with adjacent suites for more room. The suites feature wraparound balconies, and are the ship’s most luxurious cabins. Twelve different options will be on offer on Star Seeker, including many with triple occupancy capabilities.

“Guests aboard Star Seeker will experience a sense of tranquility in their suites; they are designed to be an oasis for relaxation,” said Stijn Creupelandt, vice president of hotel operations, Windstar Cruises. “We used light wood and a soothing color palette of light blues, greens, and natural browns – elements that reflect our Star Class style. Inspired by the sea, sky, and landscapes, these colors and textures create a serene atmosphere perfect for a relaxing getaway. In the ship’s public spaces and restaurants, you’ll find 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.”

Star Seeker is currently under construction in Portugal. Its January 2026 maiden voyage will be a trans-Atlantic sailing from Malaga to Miami, before a christening event in Miami. The ship will then sail the Caribbean before heading up the West Coast of the United States to Alaska. From there, it heads to Japan.

Another new ship, Star Explorer, is set to launch in December 2026.
