Windstar no longer sailing Alaska?

[wolverineinOH]

I was hoping to do an Alaska cruise with Windstar but I'm not seeing any itineraries for 2024 or 2025. Are they no longer sailing there after this summer?

I would call them to confirm.

I noticed that too.  Looks like 2023 is the last year for Alaska. I guess that after sailing 6 years, they felt their clientele was looking for something else.  Will be interesting to see how they do with their new Middle Eastern itineraries to which they have committed 2 winter seasons in 2024 and 2025 and are really pushing hard.  They also have 2 ships committed to Greece so still lots of demand for those itineraries. Will have to do Alaska with another line.

2023 will be the Star Breeze’ and Windstars’ last season in Alaska.The Star Breeze will instead replace the Windspirit in Tahiti. The WindSpirit will leave Tahiti in February 2024 and rotate between the mediterranean and the caribbean in future.

This is correct ...

 

Sea Breeze will home port in Papeete starting in February 2024.

Windstar website doesn’t show any Alaska cruises after 2023.  Does anyone know if this is a permanent thing or is it perhaps a temporary change due to ships undergoing renovations and need to re-shuffle ship itineraries?  Would have loved to sail on Windstar in Alaska.

@IpswichChris – moved your post into this existing thread on the topic.  But you raise a new question:  is this change permanent?

No one knows. Permanent is a long time.
