Windstar's 2028 Europe Season Is Open — and the Itineraries Are Exceptional
The small-ship cruise line that goes where the big ships can't has released its 2028 European season. The itineraries are worth booking two years out.
Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
Windstar Cruises operates small ships — 148 to 342 passengers — which means they dock in ports that the mega-ships can't reach. The 2028 European season, now open for booking, includes itineraries through the Scottish Highlands, the Faroe Islands, the Norwegian fjords, and the Adriatic coast that are genuinely impossible on a larger vessel.
The standout for 2028 is the British Isles circuit, which includes overnight stays in Edinburgh and Dublin alongside smaller ports that most travelers never reach by sea. The Tower Bridge approach into London — the image that defines the season's marketing — is the kind of arrival that justifies the entire trip.
The 2028 season opens with early booking rates that represent genuine value — Windstar's pricing is competitive with the luxury lines, and the experience is categorically different. Book through a travel advisor who specializes in small-ship cruising; the cabin selection matters more than it does on a larger vessel.
