Ship: Star Breeze
A fortunate few spend entire lifetimes sailing the South Pacific in search of paradise, but if you only have a week, this iconic French Polynesian cruise is a shorter version of our Tahiti & the Tuamotu Islands itinerary for those who only have a week but really want to visit the Tuamotu Archipelago. Immerse yourself in the pristine surroundings of Fakarava Beach, a UNESCO Biosphere rich in colorful coral and tropical fish--and the perfect sanctuary for divers and snorkelers. Learn the art of grafting black pearls and shop for precious keepsakes at a family pearl farm, or seek out savory swordfish kebabs, fried fish, and other local foods next to Rangiroa's sky-blue waters. Master drift snorkeling at scenic Tiputa Pass with an experienced guide. Roll out on a 4x4 exploration of Bora Bora beaches, weathered World War II guns, and dense tropical jungles, or spend hours in iconic azure lagoon waters swimming in the company of harmless, black-tipped sharks and curious stingrays prior to an overnight stay in Bora Bora.
Onboard, you’ll be joined by our French Polynesian Cultural Ambassador who will share their knowledge, experience and insight about the Polynesian culture and way of life
Day-by-day description of your cruise and cruise activities.
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 colorful 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.
Fakarava
Here is a rare opportunity to experience one of earth’s most beautiful – and most rare – places. Fakarava, a place so stunning, an ecosystem so diverse it has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This diver’s paradise welcomes you to a world of magnificent cauliflower coral, sleek grey sharks, and neon schools of tropical fish. This “Island of Dreams” is home to rare species of nesting birds and rare marine life living in tranquil harmony.<br />
Rangiroa
Some people call this place heaven. You will call it perfect. The huge lagoon surrounded by beautiful coral and filled with colorful fish, rays, and dolphin is a diver’s dream. Explore, with an optional tour, in a glass bottom boat, take a dive that matches your level of expertise, or enjoy the magic of drift snorkeling. This is a place like no other on earth.<br />
Bora Bora
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 colored 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.
