Alaska

Mary and Chris on an Alaskan Adventure!

In 2024,  Windstar announced that they would be resuming travel to Alaska in 2026 on the brand new Star Seeker.  Since the only other cruise I have taken was on Windstar, and their service is superlative, and I have GOT to see Alaska once more - booking with Windstar was kind of a no-brainer!  The ships are wonderful and the max number of passengers is 224 (if fully booked) which is kind of perfect.

I may have been the first to book in 2025 as soon as the cruise was available.  Windstar offered $100 onboard credit, free Wi-Fi for 2, the drinks package (not that we will use it - much). and all gratuities.  I also got to select the cabin so I went with 630 as it is near the elevator and on the port side giving us a view of the Alaska coastline once we head south.
