Luxury Yacht and Small Ship Cruise Specialist

Windstar Cruises Sailing and All-suite Motor Yacht

Windstar Cruises Expert! I'm Ilja Chapman, owner of Voyage Blue Travel and a small ship cruise specialist with a unique insider's view of Windstar Cruises.

I don’t just book Windstar, I have lived it. My husband and I once worked onboard their iconic sailing yachts, giving me behind-the-scenes insight into the onboard culture, crew, and destinations that make Windstar so distinct.

That firsthand experience combined with years of designing luxury journeys for discerning travelers, means my team and I bring unmatched knowledge and passion to every Windstar cruise we plan.

From the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Islands to the culturally rich passages between Istanbul and Athens, I’ve sailed these Windstar itineraries myself. I’ve also experienced the newer, all-suite yachts as a guest, so I understand exactly what today’s sophisticated traveler is looking for in terms of service, space, and style. Whether you’re drawn to the romance of the sails or the refined comforts of Windstar’s expedition yachts, we’ll help you choose the voyage that suits your taste and travel dreams.

Clients have trusted us to plan Windstar adventures in Tahiti, Costa Rica, and now even Alaska and we’re proud to say many return year after year for another small-ship escape. I love curating journeys that celebrate the unique spirit of each destination.

Some of my personal favorites include the South Pacific islands of Tahiti, the whitewashed coastlines of Greece, the dramatic cliffs of Iceland, and the fjords of Norway. Each of these places comes alive in a way only Windstar can offer: intimate ports, immersive excursions, and a relaxed onboard atmosphere that feels like a private yacht.When you work with me and my team, you’re not just booking a cruise, you are gaining trusted advisors who know these ships, these destinations, and the expectations of the well-traveled guest.

At Voyage Blue Travel, we tailor every detail to your preferences, whether it’s arranging a pre-cruise stay in Athens, securing a balcony suite with the perfect view, or planning private shore experiences that take you beyond the crowds.Choosing Voyage Blue Travel means choosing a team that is as passionate about your adventure as you are. With our deep-rooted experience in Windstar Cruises, we’ll help you turn your next voyage into a story worth telling, one filled with beauty, connection, and the magic of discovering the world by sea.
