Windstar Cruises is offering $50 deposits for all 2025 sailings.

The per-person deposit, reduced from 15 percent of the total cruise price, is available on bookings made between now and June 30. It’s charged within three days of booking, with final payment due 90 days before the departure.

The reduced deposit offer is valid for sailings more than 90 days out from departure date; Tahiti packages with overwater bungalows require additional deposit. 

The offer is combinable with Windstar’s Pick Your Perk promotion, which gives guests the choice between one free hotel night or up to $1,000 in onboard credits. Premium suite guests also have a third option, an upgrade to the All-Inclusive Fare.

Windstar is offering the new promotion in response to the current climate of uncertainty. The line is also highlighting its flexible cancellation policies to give travelers even more peace of mind.

“Windstar is all about freedom of choice and traveling on your own terms,” says Christopher Prelog, president of Windstar Cruises. “With so many places to explore with Windstar in 2025, we designed this offer to remove barriers and give guests the confidence to not postpone their travel plans, knowing they can lock in their 2025 preferred voyage now with minimal upfront commitment. It reflects our core belief: travel should be inspiring, not stressful.”
