7-Nights Dreams of Tahiti Cruise: A Windstar Voyage from $3,258

Day 1: Arrive in Papeete

Relax on sunny beaches, sample Tahitian fare, and take in the effervescent spirit of the city. But whatever you do, save time - and luggage space - for shopping. Black pearls and colourful crafts fill the market and local treasures are so plentiful you'll have trouble making your choices but you won't be bothered with large crowds and big tour groups because French Tahiti is only accessible to small ships like ours. Your cruise departs at 5.30pm. Please refer to your Windstar documents for check in and embarkation details.

Hotel: Star Breeze (4 Star Rating)

Serving just 312 guests, Star Breeze is the perfect size — small enough to offer unique experiences that set Windstar apart from other cruise lines (think complimentary feast under the stars on a small private motu in Bora Bora), yet large enough for you to make plenty of new connections on board — all without ever feeling crowded.

This intimate all-suite yacht features spacious ocean-view accommodations, each with a walk-in closet and updated double-vanity bathroom. On board, you’ll find a fully equipped fitness center, a spa with complimentary sauna, an infinity pool, two full-service bars, on-deck hot tubs, a water-access marina platform, and so much more.

And did we mention all dining is included? From gourmet bites at our Yacht Club Café to 24-hour room service and even specialty restaurants like Basil + Bamboo, Windstar’s award-winning cuisine is always complimentary — so you can indulge freely and enjoy every moment of your journey.

Ready to experience Star Breeze for yourself? She’s located just 8 hours from LAX in beautiful Tahiti, where she sails year-round with voyages departing almost every week. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard!

Raiatea, "The Sacred Island," is located just across the lagoon from Tahaa and shares the same barrier reef. (Legend claims the two were a single island until a conger eel possessed by the spirit of a princess separated them.) It used to be the center of religion and culture in the Society Islands. Taputapuatea, on the southeast coast, was once the most important marae around, the place where kings from the neighbouring islands would gather for important ceremonies. Uturoa, the main town, reminds some people of Papeete in its younger days with its quaint low-rise buildings. Raiatea is also home to the only navigable river in the islands, the Fa'aroa. Explore Polynesian history or climb Mount Temehani in search of the rare tiare apetahi flower, which grows only here.

Our stay here allows plenty of time to capture the beauty in photographs - and you'll want plenty. These stunning waters will show a different kaleidoscope of blue in each frame. You'll have lots of options for exploration, whether you prefer the access provided by a 4-by-4 or the thrill of riding in the open air. Stretch out on stunning white-sand beaches, dive and swim in brightly coloured seas, or sail among the tiny islands and lagoons. But the highlight here will be the Windstar Exclusive Destination Discovery Event on a private motu complete with fire dancers. This is the stuff that dreams are made of and available to small ships.
