Windstar Cruises is teaming up with Stitch Lab to celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, according to a press release.
The partnership will feature events and experiences highlighting women’s achievements in fashion, art, culture and travel.
As part of the initiative, Windstar will host an International Women’s Cruise aboard the Wind Surf, sailing roundtrip from Philipsburg, St. Maarten, from March 1 to 8, 2025. The voyage will include special programs led by producer and founder of Stitch Lab Karina Rosendo and TV host Alessandra Villegas, as well as three Latin American fashion designers. Windstar executives Janet Bava and Patricia Gonzalez will co-host the voyage.
“We are thrilled to work with Stitch Lab to highlight the immense talent and artistry of female designers as we celebrate them on International Women’s Day,” said Janet Bava, chief commercial officer of Windstar Cruises. “Stitch Lab aligns seamlessly with Windstar’s mission to support the arts across various disciplines, from culinary excellence through our 10-year collaboration with the James Beard Foundation to visual arts with Fountainhead Arts, and now fashion with female-owned Stitch Lab. By integrating these creative expressions into our travel experiences, we offer our guests more than a journey — we provide inspiration.”
“Fashion is a powerful vessel for storytelling, and through this collaboration with Windstar Cruises, we’re weaving together the narratives of exceptional Latin American women who inspire across cultures,” said Rosendo. “This partnership is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and the collective power of women coming together to create something extraordinary. I’m honored to bring the vibrant spirit of Stitch Lab to this unforgettable journey aboard Wind Surf.”
Additionally, Windstar will participate in Stitch Lab’s Spring Pop-Up in Miami’s Design District from April 3–6, 2025, hosting a networking lunch for designers, influencers and media. The cruise line will also feature an activation at the main event, showcasing its global experiences.
Stitch Lab fans can enjoy an additional 5 percent discount on the special sailing aboard the Wind Surf with code FEM5, valid for new bookings only.
