The new sailings will commence in November 2023 on the all-suite, 312-guest Star Legend. 

President Christopher Prelog said: “With impressive Unesco sights, beautiful beaches and wildlife, top-rated golf courses, amazing snorkelling and diving and, of course, great shopping, Windstar is excited to introduce our guests to the Red Sea and Persian Gulf with new itineraries in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar.”

The itineraries include the 18-day Wonders of Arabia cruise, which sails from Athens to Dubai, transiting the Suez Canal and spending five days in Egypt and Jordan. It includes an overnight in Luxor and two days in Oman. 

The ten-day Sparkling Sands & Cities of the Persian Gulf will sail on 11 dates from Dubai to Muscat, and in reverse. It offers overnights in Doha and Abu Dhabi; a late night in Ras Al-Khaimah; stops in quieter cities such as Fujairah or Khasab; and time on the island Sir Bani Yas, known for its nature and wildlife conservation. 

The eight-day Realm of the Queen of Sheba sails from Muscat to Jeddah, while the nine-day Arabian Nights & Egyptian Days will sail between Jeddah and Aqaba, and in reverse. The 12-day Red Sea Revelries via the Suez Canal sails from Jeddah to Athens.
