Windstar Cruises Announces Its Inaugural Winter Season in the Canary Islands (Nov 2025 – Feb 2026)
Windstar Cruises has announced its inaugural winter season in the Canary Islands, scheduled from November 2025 to February 2026. The cruise line plans to offer nine 10-day voyages aboard the four-masted sailship Wind Star.
The journey will begin and end in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the ship’s homeport, with stops at various picturesque locations including San Sebastian de la Gomera, Santa Cruz de la Palma, and Funchal in Madeira, where there will be an overnight stay. Other notable destinations include Lanzarote and Las Palmas, which will also have an overnight docking.
These voyages will provide travelers with the chance to explore the Canary Islands’ stunning landscapes and attractions, such as Timanfaya National Park and the San Antonio volcano crater, along with unique experiences like camel rides and vintage car tours.
The Wind Star, accommodating 148 passengers, promises an intimate and luxurious sailing experience. Onboard amenities feature several dining options, a lounge, a spa, a pool, and a watersports platform offering complimentary activities, all designed to blend traditional sailing charm with modern comforts.
Sailings are planned for late November 2025 through mid-February 2026, with specific departure dates including November 29, December 19, December 29, January 8, January 18, January 28, and February 7 and 17. Prices for fly-cruise packages start at GBP 3,599 per person, encompassing return economy flights from London, overseas transfers, an overnight pre-cruise hotel stay, and the cruise itself with meals, soft drinks, and port fees. An all-inclusive upgrade option is also available for GBP 81 per person per day.
Augustus Lonsdale, Windstar’s Head of Sales, expressed excitement about the enduring appeal of the Canary Islands as a winter sun destination for UK holidaymakers. He noted that the new fly-cruise packages are an excellent opportunity for guests to experience the region’s highlights while minimizing sea days. With this new program, Windstar Cruises is poised to offer a blend of luxury sailing and the rich cultural and natural attractions of the Canary Islands.
