small ship cruise around Japan




Windstar is one of my favorite cruise lines. Two things I loved about my Windstar experience — and what keeps Windstar guests returning for more: (1) the luxury small ship experience and (2) the creative itineraries.

Each week there's a special sale on seven selected cruises — and the sale lasts just seven days. This week's specials include an 11 day tour of Japan aboard the Star Breeze that really appeals to me. Passengers will have opportunities to...
  • Discover the beauty of UNESCO site Mount Fuji, Japan's highest mountain, when you get to Shimizu
  • Take in the scenery as you cruise around the abandoned island of Hashima, near Nagasaki
  • Explore Shingu's UNESCO site Makimura-jinja Shrine, part of the Sacred Sites of Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range
  • Respectfully remember "Never Again" at the Peace Memorial Parks of Nagasaki and Hiroshima
  • Enjoy the cuisine of Hiroshima, with not-to-be-missed Okonomiyaki savory pancakes
  • See the 16th century Osaka Castle, the city's main historic landmark
On sale is the September 20, 2020 sailing. Sale prices begin at $3299 per person for a Porthole Suite ... or, for just $100 more, I recommend you upgrade to an Ocean View Suite. And for an even better value, you can choose an additional perk — either a shipboard credit, an air credit, or unlimited WiFi.

Is there a cruise around Japan in your future? You'll need to book this special fare by Christmas — reach out to [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
