Why we chose this journey
Experience Alaska the unique Windstar way.
After our Windstar journey through Greece and Türkiye, we booked another small-ship adventure onboard—this time to Alaska. We’re taking the full cruise and Denali tour, and we’d love to have you join us.
Pair expedition-style exploration with the comfort, cuisine, and easygoing atmosphere of a small yacht. Star Seeker’s intimate size and maneuverability bring us into remarkable fjord settings, with optional guided Zodiac outings for an even closer look. Add modern suites, personal service, and excellent dining, and you have an Alaska journey that lives up to Windstar’s promise: 180° from Ordinary.
An uncommon route
Adventure with yacht comfort
Explore Kenai Fjords, Endicott Arm, and Misty Fjords, with the option to add guided Zodiac adventures at an extra charge. Then return to your all-suite yacht for excellent food and a relaxed evening aboard.
Your vacation, your way
Travel together, freely
Enjoy having us aboard, with the freedom to choose the excursions, meals, and quiet moments that suit you. Take the full land-and-sea journey or meet the ship in Seward.

Start inland · June 3–7
Begin with the grandeur of Denali.
Before the first fjord comes Alaska’s interior: Fairbanks, Denali National Park, and Talkeetna.
Four nights on land give this journey a completely different beginning. Trade the coastline for mountain scenery, broad valleys, and the chance to look for Alaska’s land wildlife before heading to Seward to board Star Seeker.
We’re doing the full land portion ourselves. It’s a wonderful way to make the most of the trip and experience more of Alaska in one journey.
See the daily land inclusions below. Wildlife sightings, mountain visibility, park access, hotels, and activities remain subject to operating conditions and final arrangements.
What the $3,800-per-person land portion includes

The coastline is the main event
Three extraordinary fjord experiences.
Windstar’s small scale opens up scenic waters beyond the reach of larger cruise ships. This route gives Alaska’s fjords the time and attention they deserve.
June 8 · Kenai Fjords National Park
A wild beginning at sea
Glaciers, rugged cliffs, and rich marine habitat set the scene just after leaving Seward. Be out on deck with your binoculars as we explore one of Alaska’s great coastal landscapes.
June 12 · Endicott Arm
Into glacier country
Follow a dramatic glacier-carved waterway framed by steep mountains and waterfalls. Ice and conditions shape the day’s exploration and how close the ship can approach.
June 14 · Misty Fjords
Quiet water, towering walls
Forest, sheer granite cliffs, and waterfalls create a very different side of Alaska. Windstar’s small yacht lets us appreciate the scale and stillness of this remarkable setting.
Optional Signature Expeditions · Additional charge
Take the adventure down to water level.
Step from the yacht into a guided Zodiac cruise for an even closer perspective on Alaska’s wild coastline.
Windstar’s expedition guides bring the landscape to life as you explore the shoreline and watch for wildlife. These small-group outings are an exciting way to add another layer to our scenic fjord days.
Zodiac excursions cost extra and require separate booking. Windstar offers its Signature Expeditions in these fjord areas; the specific departures offered on our sailing will depend on the final excursion program, weather, ice, operating conditions, and availability.
We can help you review the options when released. Wildlife sightings and individual outings are not guaranteed.
