The increasing demand for small ports in Europe was a significant factor behind the prolific growth of Windstar Cruises. Recognized as a world leader in small-ship cruising, Windstar has doubled the size of its fleet from three to six ships over the last two years. While these hidden gems can be found popping up in a variety of international itineraries, travelers will find them hard to miss while exploring Windstar’s European cruise portfolio. These itineraries – exclusively accessible to small ships – invite passengers to veer off the beaten path and peek inside some of the world’s most interesting and special European locales.

Exclusivity, picturesque views, and the promise of a more authentic and immersive local experience are just a few of the reasons why travelers are choosing small ship cruises, providing them with the access to smaller ports and a world-class island escape. While the demand to explore these islands is on the rise, carriers such as Windstar Cruises are using size to their advantage to nestle in to exclusive destinations and limited access ports, particularly throughout their European itineraries.
