Windstar makes Canaries fly-cruise winter sun debut

Windstar Cruises is to deploy newly-renovated four-mast sailing ship Wind Star on its first full winter season of sailings in the Canary Islands.

Nine 10-day itineraries will run between November 2025 and February 2026.

Cruises are being packaged to include flights, overseas transfers and a pre-sailing hotel stay as the company seek to attract UK winter sun holidaymakers.

The 10-day fly-cruise programme by the 1e48-passenger Wind Star is based on departures from Santa Cruz de Tenerife with calls in San Sebastian de la Gomera, Santa Cruz de Palma, Madeira (overnight), Lanzarote and Las Palmas (overnight).

Prices start at £3,599 per person with departures on November 29, December 19 and 29, January 8, 18 and 28 and February 7 and 17.

An all-inclusive update leads in at £81pp per day, including unlimited alcohol, WiFi and all gratuities.

Head of sales Augustus Lonsdale said: “The Canary Islands have long been a preferred winter sun destination for UK travellers. 

“With these new fly-cruise packages our guests can enjoy the best of the region with limited sea days, whilst also going off the beaten track to the lesser known and crowded areas that Windstar specialises in, with only 148 fellow adventurous guests.”
