Deluxe Cruises packing guidance for this September itinerary

  • Pack versatile layers suited to the route and season, including a light sweater and compact wind- and water-resistant outer layer.
  • Bring comfortable, supportive, non-slip walking shoes for piers, steps, cobbled streets, and longer touring days.
  • Add sun protection, a compact umbrella, and clothing that covers shoulders and knees where local religious or cultural sites require modest dress.

Windstar Cruises dress guidance

  • Windstar has no formal nights. Daytime dress is relaxed resort wear, while dinner in the main evening restaurants calls for casually elegant clothing.
  • Published evening examples include slacks or non-distressed jeans with a collared, button-down or polo shirt, or a blouse, skirt, casual dress or sundress. Reserve shorts, T-shirts, hats and flip-flops for daytime.

Packing suggestions are Deluxe Cruises editorial guidance; the cruise line's final documents and the weather forecast control the last check.

What services and amenities are available aboard Star Explorer?
  • Published fleet experiences include open-seating dining, lounges, 24-hour room service from a limited menu, World Spa by Windstar, pools or whirlpools and an Open Bridge when operational.
  • Dining venues, watersports platforms, pools, spa spaces, entertainment and included services differ between Wind Class sailing yachts, Star Plus all-suite yachts and the newer Star Class yachts.

Venues, hours, inclusions, equipment, and operating conditions can vary by ship and sailing. Deluxe Cruises will reconfirm the details for this departure.

What fitness, sports, or wellness facilities does Star Explorer have?
  • Watersports-platform access, swimming and paddle activities depend on sea state, weather, anchorage, local rules and the captain's approval.

Class schedules, age rules, treatment access, operating hours, and equipment availability are confirmed for the exact ship and voyage.

What accommodation features and services can Star Explorer guests expect?
  • Wind Class sailing yachts publish ocean-view staterooms and suites without a fleetwide private-veranda promise. Star Plus yachts are all-suite, while Star Seeker and Star Explorer publish suites with private verandas or infinity windows among their categories.
  • Room size, window or veranda, bed arrangement, bath, accessibility and amenities differ by yacht, category and room number; use the exact deck plan before reserving.

Review the exact room or suite number, category, deck position, layout, and benefits for Voyage EX20270915-16D before reserving.

Can children and babies sail aboard Star Explorer?
  • Windstar cannot accommodate children under eight years old. A guest under 21 must be accompanied in the room by a parent, guardian or chaperone who is at least 21.
  • Windstar does not publish a fleetwide supervised children's program or babysitting service. Shore operators can impose separate age and participation limits, and minors require direct adult supervision.
  • A guest may not board if she will have entered the 24th week of pregnancy when travel with Windstar begins. Notify Windstar early and confirm current documentation requirements.

For Voyage EX20270915-16D: do not assume a supervised program, babysitting, crib, or child-specific service unless it is confirmed for this sailing.

How does Star Explorer handle special needs, medical arrangements, and accessibility?
  • Notify Windstar at booking and complete its Guest Accommodation Request Form. Current guidance requests advance notice for interpreters, equipment, oxygen, dialysis supplies and other services, with timing depending on the request.
  • Guests normally bring an approved wheelchair or scooter; size, weight and storage can prevent acceptance, and crew cannot lift guests or heavy devices. Standard rooms are not barrier-free.
  • Modified suites are published on Star Pride, Star Breeze and Star Legend, but features are limited. Gangways, tenders, stairs, ports and shore transport can restrict access, and personal daily care is not provided.
  • Windstar states that its yachts do not have full medical services. Serious emergencies are referred ashore, and evacuation at sea or from a tender or remote port may be delayed or infeasible.
  • Carry a medical summary and adequate medication, and arrange oxygen, dialysis supplies, sharps or refrigerated medication in advance through the accessibility process. Not every request can be accommodated.

Important: access varies by accommodation, gangway, pier, tender, shore transport, and operating conditions. Document needs when requesting the booking and reconfirm them before travel.

What is the smoking policy aboard Star Explorer?
  • Smoking and vaping are prohibited in every stateroom, suite and indoor public space, including restaurants and corridors. They are permitted only in designated outside-deck smoking areas.

Designated locations and onboard rules can change. Follow the policy, posted signs, and crew instructions in force for the voyage.
