Windstar Cruises is honoring the vital role of travel advisors this May with exclusive rewards and heartfelt recognition during Travel Advisor Appreciation Month. Designed to celebrate their dedication and expertise, Windstar is offering enticing incentives for new 2025 cruise bookings, including a chance to win a Dreams of Tahiti cruise for two, choice of an Amazon gift card or a bonus commission, and reduced deposits for clients.
Win a Dreams of Tahiti cruise for two
The highlight of this celebration is the chance to win a seven-night “Dreams of Tahiti” cruise for two aboard the intimate 312-guest Star Breeze yacht. The voyage visits the scenic Society Islands of Moorea, Raiatea, Huahine, Bora Bora, and Tahiti. This ultimate escape includes airfare for two in economy class, courtesy of Air Tahiti Nui, round trip from Los Angeles or Seattle to Papeete, Tahiti. Eligible advisors can enter by making new 2025 cruise bookings during May with one lucky winner drawn at random. Find out more details here or see note on terms below.
Earn Rewards with Every Booking
Travel advisors will also earn their choice of either a $100 USD or CAD bonus commission or a $100 Amazon gift card for every new 2025 booking made throughout May. Gift cards will be sent digitally 30 days prior to cruise departure. Every confirmed booking earns advisors one grand prize entry and one gift card or bonus commission, reinforcing Windstar’s commitment to supporting its advisor partners.
“Travel advisors are the heroes of the travel industry,” said Dianna Rom, Windstar’s Vice President of Sales. “These partners carefully craft unforgettable itineraries, matching clients with the perfect cruise to suit their tastes and travel goals. Their personalized service is invaluable to both their clients and our brand, ensuring happy travelers who return to Windstar time and again.”
Reduced Cruise Deposits
To help travel advisors close sales on 2025 cruises, Windstar is offering reduced cruise deposits of only $50 per person to lock in a 2025 cruise departure. The reduced deposits begin in May and run through June 30, 2025 and are valid for cruise departures 90 days out from confirmation. The offer is combinable with Pick Your perk which has been extended through June 30.
Pick Your Perk Offer Extended Until June 30
Windstar’s popular Pick Your Perk offer - another tool to help travel advisors close sales – has been extended through June 30, 2025. The offer is available on sailings departing through June of 2026. Pick Your Perk options include: one free hotel night (which can be used pre- or post-cruise) OR up to $1,000 shipboard credit, which can be used for Windstar’s award-winning shore excursions, spa services, or even special celebratory cocktails. Premium suite guests are afforded a third option - an upgrade to the All-Inclusive Fare ($99/day value) which includes select alcohol, Wi-Fi, and all gratuities.
Book a Star Group and Earn More Commission
Travel advisors who have group space with Windstar can use the new reduced deposit offer and Pick your Perk to close sales and fill their group – while earning bonus commissions and the chance to win a Tahiti cruise. Advisors who want to book a new group can review group dates and pick either a Star Group sailing (a 5% fare savings and a tour conductor credit of 1:9 guests) or a Star Advantage Group sailing (a 10% fare savings plus best available offer and a tour conductor credit of 1:7 guests) and use current offers to quickly fill their space. Clients receive a $100 shipboard credit. Log into Windstar’s Travel Advisor Hub for information.
