Windstar Explores the Med and Greek Isles in 2006

Windstar Cruises' Three Sailing Ships Explore the Waters from the Western
Med to the Greek Isles in 2006


Windstar Adds New Itinerary and More Departures in the Greek Isles


Seattle, WA, March 8, 2006 -Windstar Cruises' three elegant and intimate
motor sailing yachts will spend seven months this year sailing in the
Mediterranean and Greek Islands.


Windstar's Greek Islands cruises have proven extremely popular, and the
company is increasing its number of sailings in 2006 from 27 to 38. The Wind
Star and Wind Spirit will both sail the popular Athens to Istanbul
itinerary, visiting Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, Bodrum and Kusadasi. New for
2006, the Wind Spirit will sail five Greek Islands cruises on a new
itinerary between Istanbul and Athens that includes visits to Canakkale and
Izmir Turkey; Patmos, Agios, Kos and Naxos, Greece; and Nikolaos, Crete. The
new itinerary allows guest to combine two Greek Island cruises for a 14-day
voyage with no repeating ports of call.


Between April and November, the 308-guest Wind Surf and 148-guest Wind Star
and Wind Spirit will sail a total of 40 voyages in Europe. Homeports include
Lisbon, Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Monte Carlo, Málaga, Marseille, Nice and
Venice. The Wind Surf will sail the Western Mediterranean from April through
November including a 14-day Nice-to-Nice itinerary to coincide with the
Grand Prix race in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The Wind Star and Wind Spirit will
each sail three seven-day cruises beginning late April and then again in
late October.


"Europe is a very popular cruise destination for us," says Diane Moore, vice
president of marketing and sales for Windstar Cruises. "Our new Greek Isles
sailings feature a new itinerary with smaller, unique ports. There's no
better way to see the beautiful Greek Isles than by sea, especially aboard a
casually elegant Windstar ship." News Detail at..........
