With many travellers still finalising their summer 2026 plans and seeking the right moment to book, the Peace of Mind Promise removes hesitation.
Guests can secure their preferred voyages now while taking advantage of a limited-time complimentary All-Inclusive offer, available for bookings through 30th June 2026.
This added value includes Wi-Fi, gratuities, and select beverages – representing more than £1,100 in value on a seven-day voyage for two – making it an especially compelling time to book.
Guests can cancel up to seven days prior to departure and retain the majority of their cruise value as a future cruise credit, making it easy to rebook when the time is right.
The benefit is automatically included at no additional cost on eligible sailings departing through 31st March 2027, and applies to both new reservations and existing bookings already under deposit, offering immediate reassurance for travellers and a powerful selling tool for advisors.
“Travellers are paying close attention to the headlines as they plan their holidays, and advisors need flexibility and reassurance when helping clients book with confidence,” said Janet Bava, Chief Commercial Officer for Windstar Cruises.
“Our new Peace of Mind programme gives guests the ability to secure today’s best offers while knowing their investment is protected through March 2027.
“From Alaska and the Mediterranean to French Polynesia, advisors can confidently match clients with the right sailing, backed by added booking flexibility and support.”
