About This Voyage
Where Māori Culture Meets Polynesian Paradise
Sail to pristine and uncrowded coves during this exploration of tropical isles and Māori culture throughout French Polynesia. Slip onto your own Waverunner and set a course for remote snorkeling on Raiatea.
In the Cook Islands, relax on isolated Rarotonga beaches, then venture into friendly Aitutaki for small-town tropical fruit smoothies, tuna poke bowls, and fish curry. Take in the Māori culture and language as you interact with Cook Island natives.
Sip refreshments on a sunset sailing across Bora Bora's lagoon waters prior to an overnight port stay, or check into romantic bungalows on the beach at an island resort. Sample fragrant Taha'a vanilla at a plantation or explore stone temples and archaeological sites on Huahine.
Route: Papeete → Huahine → At Sea → Aitutaki → Avatiu (Rarotonga) → At Sea → Bora Bora (overnight) → Taha'a → Raiatea → Moorea → Papeete

Destination Highlights
Unforgettable Experiences Await
Aitutaki & Rarotonga
Explore one of the world's most beautiful lagoons in Aitutaki, then discover the lush, friendly island of Rarotonga — where Māori culture thrives in every corner. Enjoy tropical smoothies, tuna poke bowls, and warm island hospitality.
Bora Bora Overnight Stay
Enjoy an exclusive overnight stay in the jewel of French Polynesia. Sail across the legendary turquoise lagoon at sunset, snorkel with rays and sharks, or simply relax on pristine white sand beaches.
Polynesian Feast & Fire
Your private beach dinner on a secluded Bora Bora motu — a complimentary Windstar Destination Discovery Event. Feast on a chef-curated menu under the stars, then watch traditional fire dancers dazzle with acrobatic flame performances.
Windstar Destination Discovery Event
Polynesian Feast & Fire — Bora Bora
Bora Bora is surrounded by tiny islets called "motu" — small, pristine, secluded paradises that offer privacy, beauty, and relaxing ambiance. You will spend the evening on one of these perfect Polynesian oases accompanied only by other Windstar guests.
As has long been the tradition in Tahiti, you will be welcomed to the motu with a fragrant flower lei. Your private feast on the beach promises to be extraordinary — the menu carefully selected by Windstar's executive chef.
When your meal is complete and the stars begin to shine, fire dancing experts in traditional loincloths will dazzle you with high-speed acrobatic moves, throwing flames so hot you'll feel the warmth 10 feet away.
Your Vessel
Star Breeze — Intimate Luxury at Sea
The Star Breeze is one of Windstar's elegant Star Class yachts — recently transformed in a $250 million Star Plus Initiative. With only 312 guests, she offers an intimate, yacht-like experience that larger ships simply cannot match.
Her small size allows access to ports and anchorages that mega-ships can never reach, while her open marina deck puts you directly at the water's edge for swimming, kayaking, and Waverunner adventures.
