Small Ship ASIA CRUISES

 
Experience Asia in Windstar Style.

Experience Asia in Windstar Style.

Nowhere else in the world will you find such a stunning juxtaposition of ancient traditions and contemporary cultures. Mystic temples give way to soaring skyscrapers while tranquil, timeless villages neighbor pulsating, modern cities. Windstar brings you the best of both worlds, taking you to the heart of cosmopolitan marvels like Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Tokyo and the exotic shores of small villages and unspoiled islands of Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Windstar Knows the Way to Asia
The Japanese find beauty in simplicity and the everyday. The act of sharing tea becomes a performance, cuisine is as much about presentation as preparation, and even broken things become art through concepts like wabi-sabi, which honors imperfection and transience. Respect, harmony, and connection to nature are key, and you may find yourself with a renewed sense of mindfulness as you look at the world as they do: stare up at ancient, gnarled pine trees so sacred they’ve been given names, gaze across reflective waters at vermillion torii gates, and give meditation a try as you “sand bathe” in naturally heated volcanic sands while listening to the hypnotic sound of the wave.
Juxtaposition of Contrasts
Juxtaposition of Contrasts
Set course for the Seto Inland Sea, Japan’s secret Mediterranean, where rustic islands boast forgotten shrines and picturesque water towns. Let Japan’s incredible culture wash over you, igniting your senses and stirring your soul. Collect so many perfect memories. Your first glimpse of Mt. Fuji’s uncanny symmetry. The ”stairway to heaven” shrines of Shingu, set above a mist-shrouded valley and the tallest waterfall in Japan. Kagoshima castle town with its signature volcano and samurai district so meticulously preserved it’s unblemished by telephone poles or parked cars. The “ghost island” of Hashima with its haunting coal legacy, Nagasaki and Hiroshima with theirs. Fill the time in between with infinite precious moments, from biting into perfect Udon noodles or fork-tender Kobe beef to soaking in an open-air onsen.
