Windstar Cruises made history on 28 June 2018 when its 212-guest Star Legend became the largest cruise ship to ever transit the Ballard Locks and sail onto Lake Union in Seattle, Washington.

Star Legend’s inaugural visit to Seattle also marked the first time Windstar has returned to the US city in almost 30 years. The ship began her journey at Port of Seattle’s Pier 66, then took guests on a scenic cruise of Elliott Bay before transiting through the Ballard Locks and then passed under the Ballard and Fremont Bridges as she sailed down the Lake Washington Ship Canal.
