The Port of Motril, Spain, welcomed its first mystery cruise with the Star Legend’s call on November 10.

This also marked Windstar’s return to the port after 18 years, having last called there in 2008.

Windstar previously announced that its 2026 Spanish Mystery Cruise would sail November 4–12, 2026, starting in Barcelona, traveling along the Spanish coast and concluding in Málaga.

During the cruise, guests are given a clue to the identity of each port some 36 hours before the visit.

Passengers received a special welcome when stepping ashore in Motril, with Windstar’s Product Manager, Rocky Trautwein, joining the quayside reception.

The event brought together representatives from across Granada province, led by the Motril Port Authority, the Regional Government of Andalusia, the Granada Provincial Council, the Association of Costa Tropical Municipalities, the Alhambra Board of Trustees, the Archdiocese and Motril Town Council.

“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to using cruise calls as an opportunity to promote tourism and support the economy of the Costa Tropical and Granada province,” said Port Authority President José García Fuentes.

“With its first mystery cruise call, the Port of Motril adds a distinctive experience to its cruise offering and strengthens its position as a destination that can offer something different to high-spending travelers.”

Port of Motril shared that the ship arrived from Gibraltar and its next port of call will be Puerto Banús, noting that the itinerary includes Barcelona, Mahón, Castellón, Cartagena, Gibraltar, Motril, Puerto Banús and Málaga.
