Itinerary

Combine a Black Sea circumnavigation with an extended coastal exploration of Greece and Turkey during this exceptional 17-day cruise. An overnight Istanbul port stay and time-saving passage through the narrow Corinth Canal extend your excursion opportunities. Sample Bulgarian banista—a cheese and egg pastry—after a cooking demonstration and Nessebar folklore performance. Sip Sochi tea and walk the halls of Stalin's secret dacha, a preserved vacation refuge resplendent in 1940s Soviet Era nomenklatura furnishings. Contrast Russian and Persian influences during a traditional Georgian house tour or savor famed Khareba wines pressed from rare Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane and Krakhuna grapes. Browse unique wares in the smoky clamor of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, a maze of shops and passages decorated with carpets, hammered copper dishes and countless sacks of aromatic spices. Take in a complimentary evening concert performance and dinner near the Celsus Library columns in Ephesus.

After selecting your cabin, you'll be assigned a Windstar Cruises specialist as your personal cruise concierge. They will ensure that you get the most out of this cruise at the best possible price.


Star Legend

With only 212 guests, a Star Pride cruise will make you feel like you're on board your own private yacht almost as soon as you step aboard. The sitting area of your spacious, newly refurbished suite gives you an expansive ocean view — making it a welcome retreat.

When you're ready to make an appearance, the lounges, club, casino and library are waiting to be explored. Take some "you" time in the tranquil WindSpa . . . enjoy a dip in the pool . . . work off that decadent dessert in the Fitness Center . . . and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge to examine navigation charts with the Captain.

Star Pride is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbours and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
