Versonix Powers Windstar Cruises’ New Online Booking Engine

Miami, Florida, November 20, 2024 — Windstar Cruises has announced the launch of its new online booking engine, now available on its website. This advanced online booking capability streamlines the vacation planning process, allowing guests and travel advisor partners to easily select their cruise date, destination, excursions, and hotels.

Travelers can now create a MyWindstar account, shop for cruises, add the cruise line’s $99 All-Inclusive package, select hotels and available excursions, and finalize bookings—all from the convenience of their own devices.

Online booking was previously available only to travel advisors through TravelAdvisor Hub. The new MyWindstar platform allows consumers to navigate available itineraries, accommodations, and offerings, with detailed descriptions and photos to guide the planning and booking process. Travelers working with a travel advisor can view their itinerary online and add select elements to their reservation, such as shore excursions and special requests.

“Windstar Cruises is committed to enhancing the travel experience for our guests from start to finish,” said Janet Bava, Windstar’s chief commercial officer. “By expanding our booking options, we’re ensuring that every guest can plan their cruise in the way that’s most convenient for them—whether they prefer the ease of online booking, the connection of working with a trusted travel advisor, or the personalized service from our Vacation Planning team.”

For Black Friday and Cyber Monday (November 18–December 2, 2024), travelers can take advantage of reduced deposits of $300 per guest in addition to the line’s popular Pick Your Perk offer. Available for bookings through March 31, 2025, on sailings through June 2026, Pick Your Perk options include one free hotel night, which can be used before or after the cruise, or up to $1,000 in onboard credit. The credit can be used for Windstar’s award-winning shore excursions and adventures, spa services, or special celebratory cocktails. Premium suite guests have a third option: an upgrade to the All-Inclusive Fare, valued at $99 per day, which includes unlimited alcohol, Wi-Fi, and all gratuities.

A leader in small-ship cruising worldwide, Windstar is making the new booking platform available for all its itineraries and ships, including year-round sailings in the Mediterranean and South Pacific and new Alaska and Japan voyages aboard the cruise line’s upcoming ship, Star Seeker.
