Deal watch: Windstar Cruises kicks off holiday sale


Small ship line Windstar Cruises has kicked off a Thanksgiving week promotion on voyages in the Caribbean, South Pacific and Asia.

The Best of the Tropics Sale, as it's being called, brings savings of up to 73% off brochure rates on sailings taking place between December and September 2015.

Fares during the promotion start as low as $1,449 per person. Travel must be booked by Dec. 12.

Windstar is in the midst of a

major expansion

that is bringing three new ships over a one-year period, doubling the size of the line's fleet and allowing for a wider array of itineraries.

The Windstar fleet currently consists of three motorized sailing vessels -- the 148-passenger Wind Spirit, 148-passenger Wind Star and 312-passenger Wind Surf -- and the 212-passenger motor yacht Star Pride. Joining the line in May are two more small motor yachts, the 212-passenger Star Legend and 212-passenger Star Breeze.
