Windstar returns to Asia with four new sailings

In its second season of sailings in Asia, Windstar Cruises is introducing new itineraries – including an Asian pop culture journey from Toyko to South Korea and Bangkok.

From September 2018 to April 2019, the 212-passenger Star Legend will sail on four new 11-day sailings, in addition to four returning cruises from its 2017/18 season, for a total of 27 sailings in the region.

New Asia itineraries include cruises between Singapore and Bali (Benoa), offering stops in Jakarta and Semarang in Indonesia, where guests can explore Dutch trading buildings in the Old Quarter or Borobudur. Among other on-shore highlights are Mount Bromo and Komodo National Park, while the cruise also takes guests to Pulau Bawean and Pulau Menyawakan, remote island locations not accessible by large cruises or scheduled flights.

Windstar will also cruise from Bangkok to Singapore, stopping by Malacca, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi.

Pop Culture Kings of Asia sailings will take guests from Tokyo to Beijing (or reverse), combining big cities such as Toyko, Osaka and Seoul (via Busan) with off-the-beaten path spots like Karatsu (Japan) and Tarnano/Uno.

This will allow guests to experience the birthplaces of J-pop, Harajuku culture and Korean dramas as well as shopping at top retail spots.
