Windstar, a cruise ship line that operates a fleet of small luxury cruise ships, will deploy in Asia in the winter of 2017–18, offering diverse itineraries from Hong Kong and Singapore.

As part of a recent trend in small luxury cruising, Windstar offers premium comfort and amenities along with unique experience offerings. The small-ship itineraries feature must-see Asian cities and unique experiences, sailing routes less travelled from remote islands to charming harbours.

Both 10- and 14-day itineraries are available, covering Japan and Korea, as well as special Christmas and New Year’s Eve trips from Singapore to Malaysia and Thailand for those interested in spending the holidays at sea. The 14-day itinerary from Singapore to Hong Kong will sail via Malaysian Borneo, Brunei and the Philippines. Another itinerary will take guests from Hong Kong to Beijing via Taiwan, Japan and mainland China. The ship will anchor at several harbours, allowing time for swimming, water sports, authentic Asian dining and sightseeing.

“Planning the perfect voyage for our guests is a passion. Our team is thrilled to introduce a remarkably diverse collection of cruises to Asia and Arabia. Our guests will experience firsthand the wonderful people and compelling cultures of this incredible region, all in Windstar’s true small-ship style, that is intimate and inviting. We create bespoke travel experiences that I call destination authenticity,” said John Delaney, president, Windstar.
