Windstar Cruises has officially welcomed Star Seeker to its fleet, with an intimate christening ceremony held in Miami this week.

The 224-guest vessel has now embarked on an eight-night christening cruise from Miami to San Juan, with stops in the Dominican Republic and the British Virgin Islands.

Star Seeker will continue to explore the Caribbean before heading to Alaska and, later, Japan and Southeast Asia.

Star Seeker was christened by Libby Anschutz, the daughter of Windstar’s owner Phil Anschutz. Her mother, Nancy Anschutz, christened Star Pride and her sister, Sarah Anschutz, will christen Star Explorer in June 2027 in London

“It’s the way you feel when you are on board a Windstar ship,” says Christopher Prelog, president of Windstar Cruises. “The smiles from the crew, the genuine conversation, the kindness and caring that flows through the ship every day."

"This is the Windstar culture that’s been part of the company since it began with two small sailing ships, and it continues today," Prelog continued.
