Windstar Cruises Announces Five Winners of ‘Send Your Travel Advisor on a Cruise Vacation’ Contest

SEATTLE, WA, June 14, 2021 – Windstar Cruises has completed its “Send Your Travel Advisor on a Cruise” contest, where travel advisors were nominated by their clients and colleagues to win a cruise. Submissions were taken on Windstar’s Facebook Page, with Windstar staff narrowing down suggestions to a list of the top five advisors, putting it to a final vote by Windstar’s Facebook fans to determine the winner.

 

But rather than select one winner, Windstar has honored all five advisors with a seven-day cruise aboard one of Windstar’s newly reimagined, 312-passenger all-suite yachts. The winners are:

  • Sandy G., Time 2 Travel, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
  • Gene B., Cruise Travel Outlet, in Salem, New Hampshire
  • Patty K., The Cruise and Travel Planner, O’Fallon, Missouri
  • Kim B., Globetrotter Travel, Lansing, Michigan
  • Ilona T., Betty MacLean Travel, Naples, Florida
