Windstar Cruises has unveiled its 2026 Southeast Asia program for the Star Seeker, which debuts in December.

The company said in a press release that it is offering two core itineraries that are combinable in 17 different variations, including inland pre- and post-cruise tour programs.

“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,” added Witsoe.

According to the press release, itineraries begin in-country in Hanoi, Bangkok and Phuket, with options for pre- and post-cruise tours to inland destinations such as Angkor Wat.

The program features two core cruise-only voyages:

“10-day Vietnam, Cambodia, & Thailand”: A Vietnam-country intensive cruise stopping at three to four Vietnam ports, including overnights in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi (Halong Bay), with an additional visit to Cambodia, where guests can book a three-day shore excursion to Angkor Wat.

“11-day Thailand, Singapore, & Malaysia”: A Thailand-country intensive cruise stopping at six Thai ports, including destinations like Krabi and Ko Yao Noi, plus an overnight in Singapore.

The company is also offering tours that extend the journey before or after the cruise:

• Hanoi: A three-night trip for cruises embarking and disembarking in Ha Long Bay. Highlights include street food tours, history tours and cultural attractions.
• Angkor Wat: A three-night extension on cruises that start and end in Bangkok. Highlights include Siem Reap, the Tonel Lake Stilt village and floating markets.
• Chiang Mai: A three-night exploration of Northern Thailand’s cultural capital, available on cruises that start and end in Phuket. Highlights include an Elephant Sanctuary, night markets and tasting local specialties like Khao soi.

 

According to Windstar, guests can combine cruises into back-to-back sailings, and free daily laundry is provided.
