MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Windstar Cruises teams up with Vishen Lakhiani, founder of the world-renowned personal transformation platform Mindvalley, to host a wellness cruise designed to nourish mind, body, and spirit at sea.

Together, we’ve designed an experience where Windstar's personalized hospitality and transformational content offers a setting where growth and adventure meet.”
