- Known for
- Two kinds of yacht: the Wind Class sail on real working sails, and on the Star Class every room is an ocean-view suite.
- Sailings from Kenya
- Quoted to your dates
- How to book
- By hand, through our Nairobi desk
Who it suits
Windstar sells yachts rather than ships: each one carries fewer than 350 guests. The detail the line leads with is the marina at the stern, which opens the water to you at anchor: kayak, paddleboard, or simply step in and swim.
Book it if the small harbours and the water are the point. If you want the range and the choice of a big hull, Celebrity is the better fit.
Booking it from Nairobi
Windstar is one of the lines we book by hand rather than through the portal on our own cruise site. Tell us the region and the month and a travel designer comes back with the sailings, the flights out of Nairobi and the nights either side on one quote.

Questions
Windstar Cruises, from Kenya
Can I book Windstar Cruises from Kenya?
Yes. We book Windstar Cruises by hand from Nairobi: tell us the month, who is travelling and roughly where, and a travel designer comes back with the sailings, the flights and the nights either side on one quote.
Do you have special fares on Windstar Cruises?
Not on our current list: the 2026–28 special fares are with Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises. We quote Windstar Cruises to your dates instead, so tell us the month and the region and a travel designer comes back with what is open. See the specials we hold.
How big are Windstar’s yachts?
Small: each carries fewer than 350 guests. There are two kinds, the Wind Class yachts under real working sails and the Star Class, where every room is an ocean-view suite, and a marina at the stern opens the water to you at anchor, to kayak, paddleboard or swim.
Plan the rest of it
Almost every sailing starts with a flight, so we book the flights as well and quote both together. If you would rather not fly straight home afterwards, the ports on most itineraries sit within reach of somewhere worth a few extra nights: pick the country from our destinations, or start from one of the land journeys we already run and tell us where the ship should meet it.
