caymancouple Posted March 19 #1 Share Posted March 19 So, I noticed the Star Legend no longer has any booking options past Oct. 6th of 2025. Looking at the other 2 yachts they show cruises till April of 2026. Is Windstar selling the Legend? Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since Star Legend had to be repositioned from the mid-east with many itineraries cancelled, they may have decided to hold off on announcing its future itineraries until the world situation stabilizes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just invested millions in the triplets and their looking good and they need the capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted March 23 #4 Share Posted March 23 Silversea has recently done something similar with Silver Spirit, leading to similar questions about the future of the ship. They finally announced that they are going to reposition it from the mideast trouble spots to Northern Europe, and need time to complete the details on the new itineraries. That is probably what is happening with Star Legend. And I'll bet that there is a lot of port congestion in the remaining 'safe' areas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. We were booked for a trip with the Mid East included and Windstar cancelled due to issues in the area. Found another sailing in April of 2025 instead doing the Canary Islands, Portugal, Morocco, and Spain!! Amazing itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitmo Posted June 27 #8 Share Posted June 27 We have a charter booked on the Legend for August of 2027. Not likely being sold if they are booking charters this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misty Morning Posted June 29 #15 Share Posted June 29 Based on this company's advertisement, they promise 6m8s of totality, which means they are sailing pretty damn close to Libya based on the eclipse maps I looked at. Seems like a risky proposition, so close to Libyan territorial waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So midpoint will be, at the closest, 80 miles from, for instance, Tripoli. And east of there, even further than 80 miles to TSE midpoint from the coast of Libya. This will be the leader’s 91st trip to experience a Solar eclipse. Edited June 30 by ocean sounds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
