    The Windstar Cruises vessel Star Seeker , a newly launched all-suite luxury yacht, is scheduled to make its inaugural call to Antigua and Barbuda on Sunday as part of its first sailing season.

    The 224-guest yacht is expected to arrive at port at 10 a.m., with a traditional plaque exchange ceremony planned to mark the milestone visit. Media representatives have been invited to cover the event, with boarding set for 9:30 a.m. pending security clearance.

    Star Seeker represents a major addition to Windstar’s fleet, having been officially delivered in December 2025 as the company’s first purpose-built vessel in its Star Class series.
