7 Night Cruise sailing from Rome to Barcelona onboard Star Explorer.
Follow in the footsteps of artists and writers, and the world’s fanciest yachts, as you immerse yourself in the intoxicating atmosphere of the Italian Rivera and France’s Cote d’Azur. You’ll explore delightful resort towns and small villages where Matisse, Picasso, Van Gogh and others found inspiration. Admire the architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona. Try your luck at the Grand Casino in Monte Carlo. Visit Michelangelo’s astonishing Sistine Chapel, and the Roman Colosseum. Along the way, admire castles and ancient ruins, with access to many UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The leisurely pace of your voyage allows time to swim and sail, directly from your yacht’s Marina Platform. As you explore idyllic coastal scenes, you’ll quickly understand why the Rivieras are among the most treasured yachting destinations in the world.
Be among the first to experience Star Explorer, Windstar’s newest yacht, debuting in December 2026. Designed to bring you closer to the world’s most captivating places, she sails through a thoughtfully curated collection of regions-from the storybook landscapes of the British Isles and Norway to the cultural richness of Spain and Italy as well as immersive journeys that connect ocean and river.
On board, discover a fresh evolution of our Star Class, featuring 112 spacious suites-nearly all with a private veranda or floor-to-ceiling infinity window-alongside new amenities and our specialty restaurant, Basil + Bamboo. It’s a refined, modern yacht experience that still feels unmistakably Windstar.
Wherever she sails, Star Explorer invites you to experience each destination more intimately-with the comfort, style, and sense of discovery that defines sailing beyond ordinary.
