The Windstar Cruises military discount is 5% off the cruise fare on every sailing: Tahiti, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, Asia, Costa Rica and the Panama Canal, and beyond.
Our 5% comes off on top of Windstar’s own promotions, including today’s Complimentary All-Inclusive Package.
Active duty, retirees, veterans, military spouses, and friends and family in other cabins all qualify.

The Windstar Fleet
Windstar sails small yachts, never big ships, so you visit smaller ports and spend more time ashore.
Wind Class: Sailing Yachts with Real Working Sails
- Wind Surf: 342 guests
- Wind Star and Wind Spirit: 148 guests each
Star Class: All-Suite Yachts
- Star Pride, Star Breeze and Star Legend: 312 guests each, every one in an ocean-view suite
- Star Seeker: Windstar’s first-ever Star Class new build, with 112 suites, nearly all with a full private veranda or a floor-to-ceiling infinity window
- Star Explorer: Windstar’s newest yacht, debuting December 2026
Dining and Onboard Life
Menus change nightly, with dishes from James Beard Foundation chefs that often feature the local ingredients of where you’re sailing. Specialty restaurants and 24-hour room service are complimentary. At anchor, the Marina at the stern opens for kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming, and on many voyages you’ll enjoy a complimentary Destination Discovery Event, like a sunset beach party on a private motu in French Polynesia.
What’s Included on Every Windstar Voyage
- Your stateroom or suite
- All meals, including specialty restaurants
- 24-hour room service
- Non-alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea
- Onboard entertainment
- Watersports from the Marina at anchor
Not included in the base fare: gratuities (a hotel service charge of $16 per guest per day), Wi-Fi and alcoholic drinks. Windstar’s All-Inclusive Package covers all three, and right now it’s complimentary when you book by November 17, 2026.
And our military and veteran discount applies on top of all of it.

Windstar Cruises Military Discount FAQ
How much is the Windstar Cruises military discount?
5% off the cruise fare on every Windstar sailing, with no blackout dates. It’s applied after Windstar’s own promotions, so it stacks with offers like the Complimentary All-Inclusive Package.
Does Windstar have its own military discount?
Windstar doesn’t publish a military or veteran rate on its website. Book through Military Cruise Deals and you get our 5% military discount on every sailing.
Can I combine the military discount with the All-Inclusive Package?
Yes. Our 5% comes off Windstar’s best available rate after their promotions are applied.

Not for our discount at the time of booking. Just let us know you’re active duty, retired, a veteran or a military spouse.
Can my friends and family get the discount too?
Yes, even when they’re in a different cabin.
I already booked directly with Windstar. Can I still get the discount?
Yes. Transfer your booking to us. You keep the same yacht, suite and rate, and we add the military discount.

You pay less, and you get a luxury cruise specialist with over 26 years of experience on your side, someone who knows which Windstar offers apply and is there for you before, during and after your voyage. Your payment goes directly to Windstar.
