Windstar Cruises has announced its highly anticipated 2026 Southeast Asia itineraries aboard Star Seeker, promising an intimate and immersive voyage through the region’s most alluring destinations. Launching in December 2025, this state-of-the-art boutique yacht is designed for discerning travellers, offering exclusive access to secluded ports, rich cultural experiences, and a personalised level of luxury rarely found on larger cruise ships.
Unlike mainstream cruises that start and end in Singapore or Hong Kong and often dock at industrial ports, Windstar’s in-depth itineraries begin in-country—in Hanoi, Bangkok, and Phuket—allowing guests to maximise their time on land before setting sail. Star Seeker’s small size enables it to dock in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, stop at Ko Kood for Windstar’s exclusive Signature Beach Party, and visit lesser-known gems like Krabi and Ko Yao Noi, destinations rarely reached by larger vessels.
Windstar’s Signature Itineraries
- 10-day Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand – A Vietnam-intensive journey with stops at three to four ports, including overnights in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi (Halong Bay). Guests can also extend their adventure with an optional three-day excursion to Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
- 11-day Thailand, Singapore & Malaysia – Explore six stunning Thai ports, including Krabi and Ko Yao Noi, plus enjoy an overnight stay in Singapore.
Exclusive Pre- and Post-Cruise Land Tours
Couples can enhance their journey with curated land experiences before or after their cruise:
- Hanoi – Immerse in Vietnam’s capital with street food tours, morning tai chi, historical landmarks, and cultural performances.
- Angkor Wat – A three-night extension featuring ancient temples, Khmer heritage sites, and floating villages on Tonlé Sap Lake.
- Chiang Mai – Discover Northern Thailand’s cultural heart, visiting sacred temples, enjoying night markets, and experiencing an ethical elephant sanctuary.
