Windstar Cruises has announced its inaugural winter season in the Canary Islands, scheduled from November 2025 to February 2026. This newly established program will feature nine 10-day voyages aboard the four-masted sailship, Wind Star.

Departing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the itineraries will encompass stops at San Sebastian de la Gomera, Santa Cruz de la Palma, and Funchal in Madeira, where passengers will enjoy an overnight stay. The cruises will also visit Lanzarote and Las Palmas, with an overnight stay in the latter as well.

Travelers can look forward to exploring the unique landscapes and cultural attractions of the Canary Islands, which include Timanfaya National Park, the San Antonio volcano’s crater, camel rides, and vintage car tours.

The Wind Star, accommodating 148 passengers, promises an intimate and luxurious sailing experience, complete with various dining options, a lounge, spa, pool, and a watersports platform with complimentary activities. The ship seamlessly blends traditional sailing charm with modern comforts.

Sailings are set for late November 2025 through mid-February 2026, on select dates including November 29 and December 19 and 29, as well as January 8, 18, and 28, and February 7 and 17. Prices for fly-cruise packages start at GBP 3,599 per person, covering return economy flights from London, transfers, a one-night pre-cruise hotel stay, as well as the ten-day cruise including meals, soft drinks, and port fees. An all-inclusive upgrade is available for GBP 81 per person per day.

Augustus Lonsdale, Windstar’s Head of Sales, emphasized the ongoing popularity of the Canary Islands as a winter getaway for UK travelers. He noted that these new fly-cruise packages offer an excellent opportunity for guests to discover the region’s highlights with fewer days at sea, combining the luxury of sailing with the rich cultural and natural offerings of the islands.
