FTM (Francis Travel Marketing) is proud to be the General Sales Agent for Windstar Cruises in New Zealand, representing one of the world’s most unique luxury cruise lines. Windstar is renowned for its small-ship cruising experience, offering guests an intimate and personalised way to explore the world’s most spectacular destinations. Their fleet features 3 masted sailings yachts and 4 all-suite motor yachts, each hosting between 148 and 342 guests. Windstar Cruises offers intimate small-ship voyages along the New England coast into Canada aboard the 312-guest all-suite yacht Star Pride. These itineraries run from May through October, focusing heavily on fall foliage, coastal hamlets, and smaller ports larger ships cannot reach. In 2026 Windstar returned to Alaska with the all-new Star Seeker. Star Seeker accommodates just 224 guests and features 72 suites with private balconies and 30 suites with infinity windows, bringing guests closer than ever to Alaska’s breathtaking scenery. Cruisetours are also offered that venture deep into Denali National Park, giving travellers the opportunity to combine Alaska’s awe-inspiring coastline with its magnificent interior wilderness. With Windstar, guests can expect a true boutique cruise experience as they travel off the beaten path and into small ports, hidden harbors and secluded beaches while experiencing the authentic cultural experiences, personalised service, comfort and style that define the Windstar difference – private yacht-style cruising with the welcoming feeling of home. As Windstar’s exclusive partner in New Zealand, FTM is excited to share this extraordinary way to experience Alaska, the New England Coast, and beyond.
