Windstar Cruises Launches Free Cruise Giveaway for Airline Crew

Windstar Rolls Out Cruise Deals for Airline Employees

Windstar Cruises is setting sail with serious perks for airline employees this summer. From now through August 31, 2025, the small-ship cruise line is offering Interline-exclusive fares for airline employees—plus a $100 per person shipboard credit and a chance to win a free cruise.

The offer is valid on select sailings between July 1 and August 31, 2025, and can be booked via Interline platforms like ID90, Vacations to Go, and Interline Vacations. The shipboard credit is applied automatically to new, eligible bookings during the promo window.

Windstar’s fleet of luxury yachts sail to destinations like the Mediterranean, Tahiti, and Greece—making this the perfect excuse for some much-needed pampering.

Windstar’s Thank-You Message to Airline Crew

“Before our guests ever sip champagne on deck or sail off into a stunning sunset, airline crew and employees are the ones getting them to their desired destinations – with a smile and their safety as their number one priority,” said Janet Bava, Chief Commercial Officer at Windstar Cruises. “We see you, we appreciate you, and we hope this summer you can take a week to kick back on a Windstar yacht and maybe even win a free cruise — because you’ve more than earned a little pampering.”

Where You Can Sail

Some example itineraries for July and August Interline fares include:

• Dreams of Tahiti: A 7-night voyage through Moorea, Bora Bora, Raiatea, and more—complete with a beach barbecue and fire dancing on a private motu.

• Delphi & Meteora: Grecian Treasures Cruise Tour: A 10-day journey blending a roundtrip Athens cruise with 3 hotel nights to explore ancient sites.

• Vatican & Croatian Coastlines: An 11-day Rome-to-Venice itinerary with stops in Sicily, Montenegro, and Croatia, plus 2 nights in Rome.

Alongside the Interline deals, Windstar is also launching a social media giveaway exclusively for airline workers. One winner will score a free cruise for two.

What This Means for Airline Staff

For airline employees with flexible schedules and ID90 access, this promo is a dream. Not only can you snag steeply discounted Interline fares, but you’ll also enjoy a $100 onboard credit—perfect for cocktails, spa time, or a splurge-worthy shore excursion.

Since these ships are smaller and space is limited, early booking is key—especially for high-demand sailings like Tahiti or Mediterranean routes. And remember: Windstar doesn’t operate mega-ships, so you’re getting a truly boutique experience with fewer than 350 guests on board.

How to Book

Book your Interline sailing at:

• ID90

• Vacations to Go Interline

• Interline Vacations

Eligible bookings made through August 31 will automatically receive the $100 onboard credit.
