Windstar announces 2026 Southeast Asia cruise programme on new ship

Tuesday, 25 Feb, 2025 0

Windstar has revealed its 2026 Southeast Asia programme for newest yacht, Star Seeker, which debuts December 2025.

The line is offering two core itineraries combinable in 17 different variations including pre- and post-cruise tour programmes.

Star Seeker’s Southeast Asia programme offers an in-depth exploration of Thailand and Vietnam.

Windstar will take advantage of Star Seeker’s small size to offer a more immersive experience.

Itineraries begin in Hanoi, Bangkok and Phuket – allowing guests to maximize their time on land before and after sailing.

The small size of Star Seeker enables sailing up rivers to dock in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, stopping at Ko Kood for the Windstar Signature Beach Party and traveling to Krabi and Ko Yao Noi.

The Southeast Asia programme features two core cruise-only voyages:

10-day Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand – Vietnam country intensive cruise stopping at three to four Vietnam ports including overnights in Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi (Halong Bay). It includes an additional visit to Cambodia where guests can book a three-day/two-night shore excursion to Angkor Wat.

11-day Thailand, Singapore & Malaysia – Thailand country intensive cruise stopping at six Thai ports including small destinations such as Krabi and Ko Yao Noi, plus an overnight in Singapore.

The Southeast Asia itineraries can be enhanced by adding cruisetours before or after the cruise.

These include Hanoi, Angkor Wat and Chiang Mai.

Guests also have the option of combining cruises into back-to-back Star Collector sailings.

These itineraries range from 20 to 41 days with the longest cruising between Tokyo and Phuket.

“We are thrilled to release these itineraries after many months of working with our local partners and visiting these destinations for research,” said Melissa Witsoe, Windstar’s senior product manager.

“Windstar’s investment in destination development translates into unique, local and exciting experiences for our guests.”

Windstar’s new build, Star Seeker, features 112 suites – nearly all with a full private veranda or a floor-to-ceiling infinity window.

Windstar’s early booking offers Wi-Fi, gratuities and unlimited select beer, wine, and cocktails plus up to $200 onboard credit per stateroom.

The early booking offer is valid until 31 May 2025.
