Windstar Cruises Unveils Exciting President’s Mystery Cruise for 2025

Windstar Cruises, renowned for its small ship luxury voyages, is thrilled to introduce its inaugural "President’s Mystery Cruise," scheduled to set sail on April 19, 2025. This eight-day expedition is tailored for members of the Windstar Yacht Club, esteemed repeat patrons of the line, along with their companions, embarking from and returning to Athens.

The crux of this voyage lies in the undisclosed ports of call peppered throughout the itinerary, shrouded in secrecy until merely 24 hours prior to arrival. This element of surprise promises an unparalleled adventure for guests aboard Windstar’s 312-passenger, all-suite Star Legend.

Adding an extra layer of allure, guests aboard the Star Legend will have the unique opportunity to personally engage with Prelog during this extraordinary "Mystery Cruise," which also doubles as the company’s popular annual President’s Cruise. This initiative embodies the essence of Windstar’s ethos, offering an intimate glimpse into the leadership of this boutique cruise line that prides itself on delivering experiences "180 degrees from ordinary."

Windstar's President Christopher Prelog hints at the thrilling unknowns, stating, "It’s going to be a lot of places—the majority of them, if not all of them—we haven’t been before."

Prelog himself, while discussing the genesis of this innovative concept, reveals its roots in a recent voyage to Tahiti & the Tuamotu Islands aboard the Star Breeze. A sudden deviation from the planned route, prompted by Tropical Cyclone Nat, led to the crafting of an entirely new itinerary on-the-fly—a move that garnered enthusiastic acclaim from guests, igniting a spark of inspiration within the leadership team.

"It’s sort of awakening the sense of adventure again, which is what travel should always do," remarks Prelog. "It’s something different, something really interesting. It’s a cruise for guests who like adventure, and who don’t want to plan everything out."

With this groundbreaking venture, Windstar Cruises not only redefines the boundaries of conventional cruising but also beckons intrepid travelers to embrace the allure of the unknown, embarking on an unforgettable journey where every moment is infused with anticipation and excitement.
