Windstar Cruises Debuts London-Greenwich Homeporting in 2026 with Star Pride Ship

Windstar Cruises is set to launch homeport operations in London at Greenwich starting in 2026. This boutique cruise line, known for its intimate and luxurious sailing experiences, will commence its services in May with the all-suite motor yacht, Star Pride.

Kicking off this venture, Star Pride will offer a variety of short and extended roundtrip itineraries. The inaugural cruises will begin on May 12, 2026, featuring a 3-night cruise that goes to Belgium’s port cities of Bruges and Antwerp. This particular itinerary, famous for its unique canals and rich culinary culture, has prices starting at GBP 1,355 per person.

Following that, a 4-night round trip will depart on May 15, 2026, heading to St. Malo in France. This cruise provides opportunities to explore the historical Mont Saint-Michel and enjoy local Breton cuisine, with fares starting at GBP 1,762 per person.

For those seeking a more extended cruise, Star Pride will embark on a 13-night voyage starting on May 19. This adventure combines impressive stops that include Antwerp and Bruges, before venturing towards Norway, with visits to Alesund and Trondheim, wrapping up in Edinburgh/Port Leith, Scotland. Prices for this longer itinerary begin at GBP 5,053 per person.

Star Pride has undergone a significant renovation, costing around $250 million, which enhanced its amenities, including the introduction of the Star Grill seafood restaurant and a tapas-style dining venue, Cuadro 44, designed by Michelin-starred chef Anthony Sasso. With a low passenger-to-crew ratio of approximately 1.5, guests can expect personalized service and spacious relaxation areas, including poolside loungers and beautiful views from the Compass Rose lounge. Additional offerings include an onboard spa, water sports platform for activities like snorkeling and paddleboarding, as well as curated entertainment options.

Windstar’s commitment to delivering unique and intimate cruise experiences will be highlighted by special touches, such as a signature sail-away song for each departure. This new homeporting in London marks an exciting expansion for Windstar Cruises, appealing to travelers looking for exclusive and thoughtfully designed itineraries.
