Small Ship ASIA CRUISES

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, Hanoi, and Tokyo and the exotic shores of small villages and unspoiled islands of Thailand.

Windstar Knows the Way to Asia

In Japan, beauty lies in simplicity—tea is performance, cuisine is art, and imperfection is celebrated. Thailand blends golden temples with lively markets, while Hong Kong fuses skyscrapers with shrines and unforgettable dim sum. Watch the sun rise over Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and in Hanoi, discover Vietnam’s soul through street food and lakeside strolls.

Eighth Wonder of the World

Explore the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world and a masterpiece of Khmer architecture, on a Windstar Cruise Tour. Wander through intricate corridors and ancient carvings as your expert guide brings Cambodia’s rich history to life. With all planning taken care of, you’re free to fully immerse yourself in this unforgettable experience.

Featured Port: Hue

Hue, Vietnam, the former imperial capital, is known for its rich history, ancient citadels, and royal tombs nestled along the Perfume River. Visitors can explore the UNESCO-listed Imperial City, once home to emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty. While in Hue, be sure to try Bún bò Huế, a spicy and flavorful beef noodle soup that's a local culinary favorite. The city's tranquil atmosphere and deep cultural roots make it a standout destination in central Vietnam.
