MIAMI — Windstar Cruises is celebrating Travel Advisor Appreciation Month this May with a series of rewards and incentives designed to thank travel advisors for their ongoing support and partnership. The cruise line is offering new booking rewards, reduced deposits and a grand prize draw for a free cruise in Tahiti with air.
“Travel advisors are the heroes of the travel industry,” said Dianna Rom, Windstar’s Vice President of Sales. “These partners carefully craft unforgettable itineraries, matching clients with the perfect cruise to suit their tastes and travel goals. Their personalized service is invaluable to both their clients and our brand, ensuring happy travelers who return to Windstar time and again.”
Chance to Win a Dreams of Tahiti Cruise
Advisors who make new 2025 cruise bookings in May will be entered into a draw for a seven-night ‘Dreams of Tahiti’ voyage aboard the 312-guest Star Breeze yacht. The itinerary includes stops in Moorea, Raiatea, Huahine, Bora Bora and Tahiti. The grand prize also includes economy airfare for two, courtesy of Air Tahiti Nui, roundtrip from Los Angeles or Seattle to Papeete, Tahiti. One winner will be selected at random.
Booking Incentives and Bonus Commission
Throughout May, travel advisors will earn their choice of either a $100 (CAD or USD) bonus commission, or a $100 Amazon gift card, for every new 2025 booking. Every confirmed booking earns advisors one grand prize entry and one gift card or bonus commission. Gift cards will be delivered digitally 30 days prior to departure.
Reduced Deposits Through June 30
To help close more sales, Windstar is lowering deposits to $50 per person for new 2025 cruise bookings made from May through June 30, 2025. The reduced deposits are valid for cruise departures 90 days out from confirmation and are combinable with the ongoing ‘Pick Your Perk’ promotion which has been extended through June 30.
Pick Your Perk Extended
Windstar’s ‘Pick Your Perk’ offer has been extended through June 30, 2025, and is available on sailings departing through June 2026. Clients can choose one of the following: a complimentary hotel night (pre- or post-cruise), or up to $1,000 shipboard credit, which can be used for spa services or celebratory cocktails. Premium suite guests are given a third option: an upgrade to the All-Inclusive Fare (valued at $99/day), which includes select alcohol, Wi-Fi and all gratuities.
Group Booking Bonuses
Advisors booking groups can combine reduced deposits and Pick Your Perk with group offers for additional earning potential. Advisors can choose between Star Group sailings, which offer 5% fare savings and a 1:9 tour conductor credit, or Star Advantage Groups, which provide 10% savings, best available offer, and a 1:7 tour conductor credit.
