24 Nights on Star Seeker

Let Windstar be your guide on a journey that blends the anticipation of crossing the Pacific with the ports kept secret. During your days at sea, take time to explore Star Seeker, our newest yacht, and enjoy the unique opportunities onboard — from wellness treatments at the World Spa by Windstar to gourmet dining options with dishes created by James Beard Foundation award winning chefs. Guests are invited to visit the Open Bridge, where you can engage with officers and learn about navigation firsthand. Once you arrive in Japan, the mystery begins: ten ports revealed only 36 hours in advance, some completely new to Windstar. The adventure concludes in vibrant Osaka, a city alive with food culture, history, and easy access to Kyoto’s temples and gardens.
