Windstar Cruises today announced that John Delaney, president, will host a Star Pride Panama Canal transit cruise in February.

“I am very excited to host my first Windstar President’s Cruise aboard the lovely Star Pride cruising to Panama and Costa Rica. Sailing through the Panama Canal is one of my bucket list experiences,” explained Delaney. “It’s iconic for a reason, and we make the week-long journey very accessible with a convenient and action-packed cruise.”

The ship will depart on Feb. 25, 2017 for the Costa Rica and Panama voyage.

The voyage will help guests get to know Delaney, according to a statement, with several hosted events onboard, a special gala dinner, commemorative gifts for guests, surprises, and more.

The recently refurbished Star Pride yacht will also be the center of attention as one guest on the cruise will receive a complimentary upgrade to one of two owner’s suites.

The random drawing for the most luxurious accommodations aboard the elegant Star Pride yacht will take place during the Sail Away party from Colón.
