Winter Belongs to the Mediterranean
When winter settles in and the days feel shorter, there’s something deeply satisfying about knowing warmth is closer than you think. The Mediterranean in winter offers a quieter, more intimate version of Europe — mild temperatures, fewer crowds and an authentic rhythm of local life that summer travelers rarely experience.
With Windstar Cruises, winter in the Med isn’t just an escape — it’s an invitation to slow down and experience Europe the way locals do. Cobblestone streets feel more personal. Cafés linger longer. Historic cities breathe easier without the rush of peak season.
Add Windstar’s new winter-focused itineraries, more overnight stays and exclusive seasonal ports, and suddenly a Mediterranean cruise becomes one of the most rewarding winter travel choices you can make.
Why Winter Is the Best Time to Sail the Med
Winter sailings unlock a completely different side of the Mediterranean — one that’s refined, relaxed and deeply immersive.
Mild, comfortable weather perfect for walking historic streets and coastal towns
Fewer tourists, allowing for deeper cultural connections
Seasonal experiences not available during summer months
More overnights so you can enjoy evenings ashore
Windstar’s small ships slip into ports larger vessels simply can’t reach, creating a boutique travel experience that feels personal rather than packaged.
Beyond Inclusive: Added Comfort, Added Value
When you book this winter Mediterranean sailing through our travel agency, you’ll enjoy Windstar’s Beyond Inclusive Package, designed to remove friction and elevate your experience from the moment you arrive.
Your exclusive benefits include:
One-night pre-cruise hotel stay
Seamless transfers
All-inclusive onboard perks
Up to $2,000 in onboard credit
That onboard credit can be used toward curated shore excursions, spa services, specialty dining, wine packages and more — letting you personalize your voyage exactly the way you want.
A More Intimate Way to Explore Europe
Windstar’s fleet of elegant sailing yachts and intimate all-suite ships creates an experience that feels worlds away from mega-ship cruising. With fewer guests onboard, the atmosphere is relaxed, social and quietly luxurious.
Expect:
Thoughtful service without formality
Open decks and unobstructed sea views
Locally inspired cuisine
Overnight stays that let destinations unfold naturally
This is travel designed for curiosity, not crowds.
