Small ship line Windstar Cruises will star in two episodes of the new series of Cruising With Susan Calman which airs on Channel 5 in January.
The ship Wind Spirit will feature in episodes on Friday 12 and 19 January at 8pm as it cruises Tahiti and the Tuamotus Islands on a 10-night itinerary.
The Tahiti cruise showcases atolls, lagoons, rainforests and Polynesian culture.
In both episodes, Susan Calman will share experiences snorkeling with black tip sharks in Fakarava’s Blue Lagoon, visiting the Gauguin’s Black Pearl Farm in Rangiroa, and exploring Bora Bora in an open-air truck.
She is accompanied by the ship’s executive chef on a visit to a local market to buy supplies.
She joins Windstar’s complimentary Destinations Discovery Event on a small islet off Bora Bora which features a private dinner on the beach and a display by fire dancers.
Augustus Lonsdale, Head of Sales – UK & Ireland, said: “We were delighted to host Susan and the crew onboard Wind Spirit and are confident that these two episodes will inspire viewers.”
“Windstar has been operating Tahiti cruises for more than 35 years so no other cruise line knows the islands like we do.”
Starting in February 2024, Windstar will replace Wind Spirit with the all-suite, 312-passenger Star Breeze which will sail year-round in Tahiti.
The move creates more guest capacity and an enhanced sailing experience with more dining options and an enlarged spa and fitness centre.
Wind Spirit will move to the Greek Islands and other top Windstar destinations and, in 2025, will undergo a complete renovation.
