“There
is no better way to experience the true wonder of Tahiti than from on
board our sailing yacht Wind
Spirit,”
said Hans Birkholz, Windstar Cruises’ chief executive officer. “Our
guests can enjoy the beauty of Polynesia as we voyage from one island
to the next, staying overnight in most ports to give guests time to
savor paradise.”
The
week-long voyage on Wind Spirit begins in Papeete,
Tahiti and sails to:
- Moorea (overnight) – the beauty of this unforgettable island of love lies in drama and adventure.
- Tahaa – this fragrant island is known for its abundance of vanilla and offers a glimpse of the traditional tranquil life of the Tahitians.
- Raiatea (overnight) – recognized through French Polynesia as the ‘Sacred Island,’ it also serves as the cultural heart of French Polynesia.
- Huahine (overnight) – known as the Garden of Eden, with lush forests, untamed landscapes and quaint villages.
- Bora Bora (overnight) – an island paradise in the South Pacific, known worldwide for its natural beauty.
While
on board, guests will delight in the engagement of the island culture
brought to life in Windstar style. Traditional Tahitian dancers will
come on board for a magical evening to remember, while regional
dishes are served during Windstar’s signature deck barbecue, held
under the sails and stars one night per cruise. Windstar will also be
running an onboard scuba program allowing for the ultimate dive
experience. In addition, guests can soak up the crystal-clear lagoons
from Wind Spirit’s Water Sports Platform, which
offers paddle boards, kayaks, Hobie Cats, wind surfing, snorkeling
equipment, and more.
On
shore, excursions are delivered in true French Polynesian style.
Vacationers can hop on a colorful Le Truck in Papeete for a scenic
drive and cultural experience all in one; watch villagers on Tahaa
wade into the lagoon and beat the water with rocks in the ancient
practice of stone fishing; experience life in a traditional Tahitian
village at the Tiki Village Cultural Center on Moorea; or just simply
gaze into a fiery sunset and watch for the green flash as the sun
melts below the horizon.
