Dublin to Edinburgh Ireland & Scotland Luxury All-Lesbian Cruise
June 17 – 25, 2026
Windstar Cruises Star Pride 9 days from Dublin, Ireland to Edinburgh, Scotland
Find Magic in Ireland and Scotland with women of Olivia. From the pubs of Dublin to the castles of Edinburgh, journey through hills and highlands, idyllic islands, and lyrical landscapes. Here in the land of astonishing natural beauty meets refined elegance in beautiful ports, exclusive marinas, and castles galore. Celebrate the region’s iconic past and lively present and toast the spirit of the Emerald Isle on this 8-night cruise through Ireland and Scotland.
Picture yourself in Scotland's Highlands, perched atop a medieval castle, staring out at emerald green hills rolling to the sea, wisps of blue-gray clouds hovering overhead, spaced out far enough for the summer sun to warm your skin. Race a motor-bike on the Isle of Man, or visit the Glenmorangie Distillery in Invergordon.
Whatever you fancy, whether it's learning the haunting history of Edinburgh, whale watching in the North Channel or visiting Trinity College for a glimpse of the Book of Kells in Dublin, you can make it happen on board Windstar's Star Pride cruise with 312 of your new Olivia friends. What could be better?
Your Ship - WindStar's MS Star Pride
With only 312 guests, Windstar’s Star Pride will make you feel like you're on board your own private yacht almost as soon as you step aboard. The sitting area of your spacious suite gives you an expansive ocean view—making it a welcome retreat. When you're ready to make an appearance, the lounges, Yacht Club, and library are waiting to be explored.
Take some "me" time in the tranquil World Spa by Windstar, enjoy a dip in the pool, work off that decadent dessert in the Fitness Center, and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge to examine navigation charts with the Captain. This all-suite yacht is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can't reach.
Star Pride is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
This all-suite yacht completed renovation as part of the $250 Million Star Plus Initiative to provide more of what our guests love. New public areas, including two new dining venues, a new spa, infinity pool, and fitness area. The yacht also boasts all new bathrooms in every suite and a new category of Star suites, featuring a new layout.
With ocean views and at least 277 square feet of comfort, Star Pride is the perfect yacht to watch glaciers and fjords drift by from the serenity of your suite.
Carrying only 312 guests, Star Pride still tucks into small ports like Sanary-sur-Mer and Seville or narrow waterways like the Corinth and Keil Canal. We can’t wait to welcome you on board for your next 180 degree from ordinary adventure!
