Authentic Japan

See what the real Japan is all about as you visit iconic cities like Hiroshima and Tokyo along with smaller, more traditional ports like Takamatsu. Experience Japanese culture firsthand - slurping ramen noodles, soaking in Japanese onsen, and participating in traditional tea ceremonies. 

WHY VISIT JAPAN WITH WINDSTAR?

See Japan from the Windstar perspective
Serving just over 200 guests, Windstar's newest yacht gives you unparalleled access to this breathtaking destination. Enjoy scenic cruising through the gorgeous Inland Sea and visit smaller ports like Takamatsu and Karatsu — homes to a famous Japanese garden and the awe-inspiring Karatsu Castle.

Enjoy sailing on a brand new ship
With new dining options, upgraded amenities and 112 spacious suites — all but 10 featuring a full private veranda or infinity-window view — Star Seeker is a fresh take on the Star Class that remains unmistakably Windstar.

Combine your cruise with an inland tour
Combine your Star Seeker Japan cruise with a 3-night inland tour of Kyoto and Osaka, visiting World Heritage Sites, seeing feudal architecture and immersing yourself in Japan’s unique culture.
