Windstar adds Middle East & Asia cruises for 2017-18

Windstar Cruises will be sailing to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and East Asia in winter/spring 2017-18.

The elegant, all-suite yacht Star Legend embarks with just 212 guests on new itineraries with 12 sailing dates from 10 to 18 days in length departing Oct. to April and including dozens of maiden port calls, many off the tourist path.

The new itineraries span destinations like Dubai, Singapore, Bangkok, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Tokyo but also explore the smaller ports and villages, unspoiled islands, and exotic shores of Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Korea, Borneo and the Philippines.

In conjunction with the new cruises, the line launched the Star Perks Event with reduced fares and a choice of one free perk when booked by Dec. 9, 2016. Free perks include a choice of up to two free pre/post hotel nights; premium beverage package; unlimited WiFi package; or up to US$1,000 shipboard credit.
