£9,138pp
Itinerary
Be one of the first to experience the brand-new Star Seeker on her christening cruise from Miami to San Juan, with stops in the Dominican Republic and the British Virgin Islands (BVIs). Begin with two relaxing days at sea before diving into the Caribbean’s cerulean waters to explore. In Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, choose from scuba diving, kiteboarding, or sunbathing, before you continue onto Samana, Dominican Republic, for ziplining, horseback riding, snorkeling, and exploring the caves and mangroves in Los Haitises National Park. In the BVIs, enjoy more water fun in Jost Van Dyke before arriving at Virgin Gorda, where you can discover The Baths, the British Virgin Islands most famous landmark, by land, sea, or air. Then, enjoy an exclusive Windstar Beach BBQ at Prickly Pear Beach. Continue your journey in Tortola by joining a Tall Sail Ship Experience shore excursion or indulging in water sports around Treasure Island. To celebrate Star Seeker’s christening voyage, we will be announcing special inaugural events as the sailing date gets closer.
Day to Day Itinerary
| Date | Country | Port | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | United States | Miami, Florida | |
|
With an average temperature of a pleasant 76°, there seems to be something for everyone in Miami. South Beach's trendy nightlife, the charm of the Art Deco district, the calypso energy of Little Havana, the busy Calle Ocho area, the luxury of Miami Beach and the Coral Gables, the variety of shopping in Coconut Grove and the sports lures of deep-sea fishing, golf, boating, and tennis - only the beginning of the delights to be found here. |

| Day 4 | Dominican Republic | Puerto Plata | |
|
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, is a vibrant city on the northern coast known for its rich history, stunning beaches, and lush landscapes. Visitors can ride the only cable car in the Caribbean to the top of Pico Isabel de Torres for breathtaking views and explore the botanical gardens. The city is also home to the historic Fort San Felipe, a 16th-century fortress offering a glimpse into the region's colonial past. The Amber Museum showcases exquisite Dominican amber, while the bustling Malecón, a seaside promenade, is perfect for enjoying local cuisine, shopping, and the lively culture of Puerto Plata. |

| Day 5 | Dominican Republic | Samaná | |
|
Lovely Samana is an environmental treasure. Untamed, with plenty of coves, bays, mountains, waterfalls and diverse geography zones where nature abounds. The protected natural area known as Los Haitises National Park is home to two endemic mammal species, the Hispaniolan hutia and the Hispaniolan solenodon along with numerous birds including the brown pelican, frigate birds, barn owls, stygian owls and Hispaniolan amazons. Its beaches are famous for body-boarding and wading. |

| Day 6 | British Virgin Islands | Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke | |
|
For an island comprised of a mere eight square miles, it's amazing how much there is to do on Jost Van Dyke. Visit the national park on nearby Diamond Cay, snorkel among swaying sponges and angelfish at Sandy Spit, or pilot your own boat around Sir Francis Drake Waterway. After all that, you'll be ready for an evening drink on the beach — where you can admire your Windstar ship aglow in the harbor. |
|||
| Day 8 | British Virgin Islands | Sopers Hole, Tortola | |
|
Arrive at the boardwalk of Pusser's Landing and mingle with other yachtsmen in the utterly charming marina at Soper's Hole. Find a deserted stretch of beach to kick back and ponder this tiny port's rich heritage of romance, pirates, and adventure. An evening departure features a once-in-a-lifetime romantic sunset Sail Away. |
|||
| Day 9 | Puerto Rico | San Juan (Puerto Rico) | |
|
The imposing façade of El Morro fortress is just one of the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites in San Juan. Admire the colorful colonial buildings from your casually elegant ship, docked right in the heart of Old San Juan. |
