Before boarding, it’s important to understand the Windstar Cruises alcohol and smoking policy to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests. Windstar Cruises provides a sophisticated environment where passengers can enjoy beverages responsibly while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere for everyone onboard.
The alcohol policy allows guests to enjoy wines, spirits, and cocktails served at onboard bars, lounges, and restaurants. The legal drinking age is 21 years for U.S. sailings and 18 years for most international itineraries. Guests are generally not permitted to bring large quantities of alcohol onboard, though some ships may allow a limited number of bottles for private consumption, subject to corkage fees. Onboard purchases include a wide selection of premium beverages, and duty-free items are held securely until the end of the cruise for delivery to staterooms.
For questions about alcohol service or smoking areas, you can contact Windstar customer support at +1–800–837–4460 or +1–800–406–8495.
The smoking policy is strictly enforced to provide a clean and healthy environment. Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas, while staterooms, suites, balconies, restaurants, lounges, and other indoor public areas are smoke-free. E-cigarettes and vaping devices are treated the same as traditional smoking products and are restricted to these designated zones. Violating these rules may result in fines or additional cleaning charges.
Following these policies ensures that all passengers can enjoy a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere while sailing with Windstar Cruises. Compliance also helps maintain the luxury standards and elegant environment for which the cruise line is known.
