Windstar Has 2025 Mind, Body, and Spirit Cruises

Posted onAuthorChris Owen

In line with the trend of kicking off the new year with a health and wellness focus, Windstar Cruises has announced new wellness-themed cruises for 2025 – the Mind, Body, and Spirit Collection. Designed for travelers interested in embracing a holistic approach to transforming their lives, these select cruises combine immersive travel experiences, mindfulness, exercise, and healthy diet options. 

Travelers who are embarking on a new healthful journey or wanting to continue their current path while on vacation have a new, seamless vacation option available to book just in time for New Year’s resolutions. Available on four diverse Windstar itineraries throughout the year that feature iconic destinations such as Panama Canal, Rome, Bermuda, and Lisbon, the new wellness cruises will offer guests travel experiences and amenities that combine the beauty and adventure of stunning global destinations with enriching new programs focused on health and well-being — specialized additions to the small ship cruise line’s existing wellness-focused programming and menus. 

Featuring special guest Debbie Dixon, a life coach, author and healer who has worked in the health and wellness industry for almost three decades, Windstar’s new dedicated wellness cruises will include daily offerings of meditation, breathwork and yoga; daily inspirational and transformational talks focusing on mental, physical and spiritual health; a pop-up bar featuring a complimentary menu of elixirs that are intended to improve the mind and body; heart healthy food options with vegan and vegetarian meals and morning juice cleanses (offerings currently available on all Windstar sailings); plus, the opportunity for private sessions with Debbie Dixon (additional fee applies).

Windstar’s new Mind, Body and Spirit Collection cruises are available on four sailings throughout the world in 2025:

“Windstar Cruises recognizes the growing demand for wellness travel as a reset and escape from daily schedules and habits,” said Windstar’s Chief Operations Officer Stijn Creupelandt. “We are excited to introduce these dedicated theme cruises that allow our guests to nurture their minds and bodies while experiencing some of the world’s most beautiful destinations with like-minded travelers. These wellness cruises build upon Windstar’s commitment to guest well-being and offering transformative experiences that blend travel, wellness, and adventure.”

Creupelandt emphasizes that for travelers incorporating health and wellness into their lives, a cruise vacation can offer the benefit of connecting guests to a new and exciting destination to explore ashore while also offering shipboard retreat space to relax and reconnect with their companion. Guests have complimentary use of the ships’ fitness facility, whirlpools and sauna. A full service spa offers a wide range of treatments from massages, body treatments and acupuncture to a curated list of treatments featuring locally sourced ingredients in each region. Star Class ships additionally offer guests the complimentary use of heated loungers, a relaxation room and steam room, all located in WorldSpa by Windstar. 

The new wellness cruises are part of the line’s popular Pick Your Perk savings offer available for booking now through March 31, 2025 on most sailings through June of 2026. “Pick Your Perk” options include: one free hotel night (which can be used pre- or post-cruise) OR up to $1,000 onboard credit, which can be used for Windstar’s award-winning shore excursions and adventures, spa services, or even special celebratory cocktails. Premium suite guests are afforded a third option – an upgrade to the All-Inclusive Fare (valued at $99/per guest, per day) which includes unlimited alcohol, Wi-Fi, and all gratuities.
