Any time of the year is the best time of year to go to Tahiti. With nearly weekly departures, just pick time that works for your schedule and you can be in paradise before you know it. Windstar offers the most 7-day departures of any cruise line with longer 10-day itineraries to the Tuamotus and 14-day voyages to the remote Marquesas.

There are 118 islands in French Polynesia and Windstar's cruises allow you to see at least 6 islands and up to 11! Plus you'll only have to unpack your suitcase once and we'll get you to all of the islands without having to deal with flights, ferries, or different hotels. Just step onboard and let us show you paradise in a way that's 180 degrees from ordinary.

Windstar's complimentary Destination Discovery Event in Bora Bora starts with a catamaran ride to a private motu where Windstar’s guests are met with an extraordinary private feast on the beach. Shortly after arriving to the Motu, guests are welcome to explore the island while enjoying tropical cocktails before dinner. Afterwards, traditional Polynesian fire dancers perform under the stars to the delight of all guests and crew. Our Destination Discovery event provides an opportunity to experience Tahiti in an authentic and intimate way, making the experience completely immersive and special. We can't wait for you to try it for yourself!

Enjoy Windstar’s Signature Beach Party on a private motu in Motu Taha, an event that's a highlight for our guests. Kayak, paddleboard, or enjoy other water toys directly off the complimentary Marina located at the back of the yacht and your own set of personalized snorkel gear to use throughout your cruise.

Join the Mamas and the Papas, a local Tahitian band, as they play traditional music, teach you how to dance, tie a pareo, and create your own lei. Meet Tihoti, a noted tattoo master and historian, as he performs on the nose flute and talks about power of tattoos in Polynesian culture. Plus, taste locally caught fish and fruits purchased from the markets on the islands, and try authentic dishes like poisson cru and banana po'e.

Why settle for just one island at a resort wen there's so much more in Tahiti that you can discover? With our yachts as your floating resort, transporting you from island to island, you only need to unpack once and all of your meals are included. Cruising with Windstar offers you the best value for your Tahiti vacation.

Windstar has partnered with Coral Gardeners, a Mo’orea (French Polynesia)-based international collective of scientists, engineers, and advocates dedicated to saving the coral reef. The team works to build, maintain, and monitor thousands of corals with the goal of restoring the ocean one coral at a time. Windstar has donated $35,000 to the group. All guests sailing on a cruise in French Polynesia can also contribute to the cause with the option to adopt a coral for a donation of $35 per person guest.
