Experience Japan with Windstar
Enjoy an complimentary upgrade to Windstar's All-Inclusive experience when you explore Japan on their newest yacht.
Japan from a Fresh Perspective.
The Japanese find beauty in simplicity and the everyday. The act of sharing tea becomes a performance, cuisine is as much about presentation as preparation, and even broken things become art through concepts like wabi-sabi, which honors imperfection and transience. Respect, harmony, and connection to nature are key, and you may find yourself with a renewed sense of mindfulness as you look at the world as they do: stare up at ancient, gnarled pine trees so sacred they’ve been given names, gaze across reflective waters at vermillion torii gates, and give meditation a try as you “sand bathe” in naturally heated volcanic sands while listening to the hypnotic sound of the wave.

Enjoy three incredible vacation experiences in one on this unique 34-day voyage. Cruise the scenic Inside Passage and Southeast Alaska, where the Wild West meets the Far North. Watch whales breach in front of lush green islands while bald eagles glide overhead. Stand at the rail as we nose our way into breathtaking fjords, then board a Zodiac for a closer look at sky-blue glaciers and wildlife. Explore rough-and-tumble frontier towns, meet Tlingit villagers, and enjoy wild adventures from riding a dog sled across a glacier to watching bears fish for salmon. Catch your breath on a relaxing trans-Pacific voyage before arriving in Japan and a totally different experience. Spend time in dynamic cities like Tokyo, Nagasaki and Hiroshima, shopping, dining, and visiting historic peace memorials. Then go further, to towns with hang-on-the-wall views of Mt. Fuji, bustling fish markets where the sushi is fresh from the sea, and outdoors onsen with incredible mountain views.
