Get to Know Star Explorer
Be among the first guests abord our newest addition to the Windstar fleet! With just 224 guests and 112 suites, Star Explorer is an intimate all-suite yacht small enough to reach places larger vessels can't. She'll dock steps from the heart of Venice for Carnival, sail up the Thames River passing under Tower Bridge into central London and explore the European heartland via river journeys larger cruise ships cannot navigate.
