Windstar Cruises is hosting its third Mystery Cruise, following the success of its past two sailings. The 2026 Spanish Mystery Cruise takes place from Nov. 4 to Nov. 12, 2026 on the 312-guest Star Legend, sailing Barcelona to Málaga.
The cruise begins in Barcelona, surrounded by Gaudí’s masterpieces and Mediterranean energy, then sails Spain’s storied coast to ports that may be entirely new to Windstar before concluding in Málaga, where Andalusian flavors and Moorish history provide a memorable farewell. Onboard, passengers are given a clue to the identity of each port some 36 hours before the visit. A special discovery event — a signature Windstar experience – will also be offered.
Windstar’s More Reasons to Say Yes offer is available new bookings made between July 1 and Nov. 17, 2026 and the promotion combines a complimentary All-Inclusive upgrade worth more than $1,300 for two guests on a 7-night voyage, a reduced $300 per stateroom deposit, and additional loyalty savings for Yacht Club Members.
Chris Prelog, president of Windstar Cruises, said that: “One thing I’ve learned about our guests is they’re wonderfully comfortable with the unexpected. They don’t just want to revisit the places everyone knows. They love the thrill of discovering somewhere new.”
And Prelog continued: “That’s exactly why these Mystery Cruises have struck such a chord. Our first sailing in the Mediterranean was one of the most enjoyable trips I’ve ever hosted, and the Caribbean edition sold out just as quickly. So, it felt only natural to keep the mystery alive. There are still plenty of remarkable places waiting to surprise us, and that’s half the fun.”
In addition to the 2026 Spanish Mystery Cruise, Windstar has announced two additional Mystery Cruises:
- 2027 Northern Europe Mystery Cruise | April 15–22, 2027 | 7 nights | Star Pride (312 guests) | London (HMS Belfast) to Amsterdam
- New Ship: 2027 Japan Mystery Cruises | September 14–25, 2027 | 11 nights | Star Seeker (224 guests) | Sapporo (Otaru), Hokkaido to Osaka (Kyoto)
