“ILTM brings together the luxury travel industry in a way that no other event does,” says Rom regarding Windstar’s prominent and continued participation. “Beyond the on-site meetings and networking, we are thrilled to ‘show and tell’ what Windstar is about by bringing one of our Star Plus yachts and inviting ILTM attendees to come aboard for the second year in a row. We can’t wait to show off the ship to all of our advisors, media, and partners who can join us on Star Legend.”
Star Legend is cruising year-round in the Mediterranean for a second year with off season travel attracting travelers who enjoy visiting during a quieter tourism time – what Windstar is now calling the Mediterranean’s local season. An enthusiastic guest survey response that rated Star Legend’s off season sailings in the highest category spurred Windstar to keep the ship in the region and expand its selection of itineraries to six unique routes enabling travelers to book longer voyages. Cruises depart from Athens, Barcelona, Malaga, Rome and Venice.
