Windstar Cruises Brings Back Iconic Sailing Yacht to Tahiti in 2027, Offering Two Unforgettable Ways to Explore Paradise

Set sail into paradise with Windstar Cruises as it makes a grand return to Tahiti, bringing an unmatched blend of classic sailing elegance and modern all-suite luxury to the heart of French Polynesia in 2027.

From March next year, Windstar’s iconic sailing yacht, the Wind Star, will join the all-suite Star Breeze to offer guests the most expansive range of Tahiti cruises ever seen. Whether it’s the timeless romance of a four-masted sailing yacht gliding across crystal-clear waters, or the sophisticated comfort of an all-suite yacht exploring remote Pacific gems, Windstar delivers a journey where every moment feels like a dream.

The Wind Star, with just 148 guests, invites travellers to uncover the mysteries of Raiatea — the sacred island steeped in Māori heritage — as part of its exclusive 7-night Dreams of Tahiti itinerary. Meanwhile, the larger Star Breeze, accommodating 312 guests, charts longer voyages to the enchanting Tuamotus, Marquesas, Fiji, and Cook Islands. For those craving deeper discovery, these can be combined into immersive 21-day Star Collector Voyages, where Polynesian culture and breathtaking vistas unfold with every passing day.

What sets Windstar apart is its authentic and lavish style of exploration. Guests can dive into Polynesian culture through private motu feasts with fire dancing, master traditional crafts like ukulele and lei-making, and savour fresh island flavours onboard. The marina platform transforms into an aquatic playground, with kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming right from the yacht in iconic spots like Bora Bora and Moorea.

Practical touches ensure your paradise escape is seamless: early evening arrivals in Papeete allow same-night connections, and curated cruise + hotel packages mean a stay in an overwater bungalow is never far away. New in 2027, the AquaBanas floating lounges offer a private resort feel amid the endless ocean.

Windstar Cruises confidently leads the South Pacific scene with more Tahiti departures than any other line, marrying laid-back luxury, local flavour, and a front-row seat to the world’s most stunning seascapes. With early booking perks like up to $200 onboard credit and all-inclusive packages, the time to plan your dream Tahitian getaway is now.

Step aboard Windstar and let the winds carry you to paradise — where every sunset is a memory and every wave sings a story.
