Windstar Cruises returns to Tahiti

Windstar Cruises, represented by Cruise Masters, has announced that it will return to the South Pacific during its summer sailing season in 2014.

Beginning May 2, 2014, Wind Spirit, the line’s recently renovated 148-passenger sailing yacht, will sail seven-day voyages from Papeete, Tahiti. Wind Spirit will sail 28 voyages in Tahiti, with the last voyage on November 7, 2014, before returning to Panama and Costa Rica for the winter season. Its return to the French Polynesian islands marks the first time Windstar has had a ship sailing in Tahiti since 2002.

The week-long voyage will begin in Papeete and continue to islands including Moorea, Taha’a, Raiatea, Huahine and Bora Bora.

Guests can enjoy Wind Spirit’s watersports platform, which offers paddle boards, kayaks, water skiing, wind surfing, snorkelling equipment and more. Other highlights will include local entertainment, such as traditional Tahitian dancers, and regional dishes will be incorporated into Windstar’s signature deck barbecue. Shore excursions will be tailored to give guests experiential and romantic options delivered in true French Polynesian style.

Windstar’s voyages from Tahiti go on sale to the public in mid-March 2013.
