Windstar Cruises is offering a limited-time Ways to Winter promotion with a free all-inclusive package plus onboard credit on a variety of cruises departing in warm-weather destinations through March 2026. 

The Ways to Winter promo is going on from September 25 through October 7, with a free all-inclusive package plus up to $1,000 in onboard credit per stateroom. The package includes Wi-Fi, all gratuities and a selection of beer, wine and cocktails. 

“We’re experiencing incredible momentum, particularly for short-lead travel,” says Dianna Rom, vice president of sales at Windstar Cruises. “This promotion encourages guests and travel advisors to book now by offering added amenities and incentives to try something new.  It’s a jump on Wave Season, and the time to act is now.”

Eligible cruises sail in Tahiti, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands, all during their off-season. 

Off-season travel often allows for more comfortable travel, without heavy crowds. In the Mediterranean, winter experiences range from overnight stays in Barcelona and Livorno to truffle-hunting excursions in Italy. 

In the Caribbean, Windstar itineraries sail beyond the most crowded ports and visit boutique harbors like Jost Van Dyke and St. Barts.
