Santana has worked with Windstar since 2010. With this win-win relationship, Santana obtains the lowest pricing and best availability. Their yacht-sized fleet allows Santana's charters to use small ports that are better suited for cycling. We've now worked with Windstar to create custom-for-cycling itineraries in the Mediterranean, Tahiti, Japan, British Isles, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, & the Baltic Sea.

Ever since our first seafaring cycling cruise in 2010, Jan has been dreaming of a cycling cruise embarking in Bordeaux that would trace the French Coast through the English Channel. We're incredibly excited to offer our Premier of Bordeaux to Amsterdam aboard the Star Pride --- huge all-suite staterooms, 5 restaurants + room service, and extraordinary public spaces to share with your fellow cyclists.


Santana and our participants love the intimate size of Windstar's yachts, as does the cruising public and industry critics. Year after year, Windstar wins all the major awards for small ship cruising, and scores the highest return-client loyalty.

In late 2020, the Star Pride was withdrawn from service to take part in Windstar's "Star Initiative Project"—a quarter billion dollar stretch of their 3 motor yachts (they're triplets). After cutting the Star Pride into front and rear halves, a precursor to the installation of quieter new eco-friendly motors and generators, they replaced the entire ship's decor and furnishings—Every single suite has been rebuilt better than new. Before buttoning things up, they slid in a new 84-foot midsection.

The Star Pride we've chartered for Bordeaux to Amsterdam is essentially a new ship with larger additional public areas, a tripled-size ocean-view swimming pool, new tenders, new lifeboats, and a fleet of expedition-worthy zodiacs.

Existing suites have all been completely rebuilt, now have enhanced soundproofing, and feature all-new bathrooms. Added suites include new categories at both ends of the price range. Now that the ship has relaunched, you not only have a wider range of staterooms to choose from, the Star Pride has five gourmet dining venues to provide a wider range of fresh cuisine.
