Windstar Announces New Southeast Asia Program Aboard Star Seeker

Windstar Cruises is launching a new Southeast Asia program aboard the Star Seeker, debuting in December 2025. The Star Seeker offers a more intimate and in-depth exploration of Southeast Asia’s culture, cuisine, and history compared to typical cruises, focusing on longer stays in key destinations and avoiding industrial ports.

Key Features

• Itineraries begin in Hanoi, Bangkok, and Phuket, allowing guests to maximize their time on land before and after sailing.
• The Star Seeker‘s small size enables access to unique ports, including river docking in Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, and stops at Ko Kood, Krabi, and Ko Yao Noi.
• Extend your journey with tours to inland destinations like Angkor Wat.

“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.”
