Your Windstar Cruise Information

Congratulations on your upcoming Windstar Cruises cruise and thank you for selecting The Cruise Web! Here you will find important information to assist you in your preparations to your cruise vacations:

Your Tickets:

Your tickets will be e-tickets. All domestic airfare (if applicable) will also be e-tickets. With e-tickets, simply present your cruise confirmation number and proper identification upon arrival at the terminal.

Pre-registration:

Due to increased security in ports worldwide, your embarkation will be much faster and easier if all of your pertinent information is already in the cruise line's check-in system. Please CLICK HERE to pre-register online.

Identification, Passport & Visa Information:

Proof of citizenship and photo identification will be required for your vacation. A valid US passport and visa (for certain destinations only) may also be required for your travel. The United States Department of State has recently changed documentation requirements for travel outside of the United States, and continues to review these requirements. For example, when traveling to certain countries, your passport must be valid for several months beyond the date in which you expect to complete your travel and return home. Please visit the State Department website at www.travel.state.gov, for the official and most up to date documentation requirements, and also for instructions on how to renew or obtain a passport. You may also contact the National Passport Information Center toll free at 1-877-487-2778.

NOTE: Effective October 1, 2020, travelers who elect to use a U.S. state-issued driver's license must ensure that it is REAL ID-compliant, which should be indicated by the presence of a star located near the upper corner of the card.

Non-US citizens should check with their local consulate to determine the specific documents required for travel.

Shore Excursions:

Optional shore excursions are a great way to make the most of your cruise vacation, and we suggest booking yours with either The Cruise Web's third party excursion partner, Shore Excursions Group, or directly with the cruise line.

Advantages of booking your excursions with Shore Excursions Group, our preferred partner, include up to 40% savings, a money-back guarantee, more tour options, guaranteed return to ship and 24/7 traveler support at 1-866-703-0606.

NOTE: Excursions booked through Shore Excursions Group are NOT operated by the cruise line, but rather are arranged by Shore Excursions Group.

To browse shore excursions from Shore Excursions Group (The Cruise Web's 3rd party tour partner), please CLICK HERE.

To browse shore excursions directly with Windstar Cruises, please CLICK HERE.

Either way, we recommend you book early for the best selection, as shore excursions and tours have limited capacity and fill up quickly!

Preferred Flights:

If your vacation package includes airfare, your airfare is subject to the carriers, dates, times, and routing selected by the cruise line or provider. You may also contact your Cruise Web cruise specialist to request Preferred Flights through Cruise Web's cruise line partners. Preferred Flights are strongly encouraged to accommodate your flight dates, times, routing, or airline choices. The cost of Preferred Flights is from $75 to $200 per person, depending on the cruise line, plus any difference in airfare.

Travel Protection:

A lot can happen on your trip - it's important to make sure you have travel protection to protect you and your vacation investment. Please contact your cruise consultants for pricing or CLICK HERE for more information about travel protection offered through Allianz Global Assistance.
