All but 10 of the 112 suites on Windstar’s newest ship Star Seeker will have a full verandah or floor-to-ceiling windows, the cruise line has revealed.

The 224-passenger ship, due to debut in January 2026, will have five dining options, all included in the fare, a full-service spa, a fitness facility, and a watersports platform with direct sea access.

“Guests aboard Star Seeker will experience a sense of tranquility in their suites; they are designed to be an oasis for relaxation,” says VP of Hotel OperationsStijn Creupelandt.

“We used light wood and a soothing colour palette of light blues, greens and natural browns – elements that reflect our Star Class style.

“Inspired by the sea, sky and landscapes, these colours and textures create a serene atmosphere perfect for a relaxing getaway. In the ship’s public spaces and restaurants, you’ll find more vibrant hues inspired by sunrises and sunsets, including warm yellows, golds and oranges, ensuring a harmonious blend of elegance and comfort throughout the ship.”




The ship has 12 different accommodation types, including two Horizon Owner’s Suites (pictured above), a new suite category for the cruise line, which can be combined with adjacent suites for more space and multi-generational families. Both come with a wrap-around balcony.

Star Seeker also has 72 suites with large verandas and 30 ‘infinity’ suites (pictured below) with floor-to-ceiling windows that slide down half way from the top.




There are also 10 Oceanview suites, which the cruise line said have ‘plenty of natural light’, but no interior cabins.

All suites include a fully stocked mini-bar and fridge, interactive TV, safe, fresh fruit and robes and slippers.

The four highest suite categories – Horizon, Star, Classic, Deluxe – add other amenities such as an Illy espresso machine, canapes service and fresh flowers.

The maiden voyage will be a transatlantic sailing in early January from Malaga to Miami. After a naming ceremony in Miami, Star Seeker will sail in the Caribbean before heading up the US west coast to Alaska for a full season of summer cruises.

From there, the ship will sail to Japan and bring back the line’s popular Japan itineraries before heading to southeast Asia.
