Amazing Experience

Overview

Trip Overview

Drift into the heart of French Polynesia on this unforgettable small-ship cruise through the Tuamotu and Society Islands. Beginning in lively Papeete, you’ll ease into island time with fragrant markets, black pearl boutiques, and warm ocean breezes before setting sail into the vast, blue expanse of the South Pacific.

Discover Fakarava’s pristine reef system, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve teeming with rare marine life and flourishing coral gardens. In Rangiroa, the world’s second-largest lagoon beckons with kaleidoscopic fish, graceful rays, and mesmerising drift snorkelling. Days at sea invite pure relaxation, with endless ocean views, gourmet meals, and spa indulgences aboard your Windstar yacht.

Explore Taha’a’s vanilla-scented hills and relax on a private motu fringed by turquoise waters. Then bask in the iconic beauty of Bora Bora, where white-sand beaches meet jungle peaks and your stay includes an exclusive motu celebration under firelit skies. In Huahine, discover a quieter Polynesia, with ancient temples, lush forests, and a culture deeply rooted in nature.

Conclude in Moorea, where dramatic mountain ridges rise from emerald waters, and days are filled with kayaking, hiking, and swimming straight from the ship. Returning to Papeete, you’ll carry the glow of the islands with you—sun-kissed, soul-nourished, and forever changed by the South Pacific’s enchanting rhythm.
