our trip to tahiti

If you’ve been following us on social media, you’ll know that we’ve been traveling up a storm, lately. First we were off to French Polynesia for a gorgeous (and safe!) cruise on our luxury yacht cruise partner, Windstar Cruises. And on the heels of that, we sailed on another of our preferred cruise partners to the Bahamas.

Why take a cruise, now? Well, honestly, it’s pretty much the safest way to travel. On each of these ships, everyone was vaccinated. Everyone was tested before boarding, and no one was making a fuss about wearing a mask when in public, indoor spaces (or outdoors where social distancing wasn’t possible). Can you say the same when you’re living your life at home? When you go to the grocery store? When you’re at a bar or restaurant? We think that the average cruise ship is probably a safer environment than just about anywhere. So, yeah, we’re absolutely comfortable to take a luxury yacht cruise right now.

And what a trip it was!

Our preferred supplier Windstar is the exact opposite of what most people think of when they think of cruising. The ships are luxury yachts — either motor yachts or with tall sails. No belly-flop competitions by the poool. No buffets. No crowded ports. These cruises are true luxury, with cuisine curated by the best chefs in the world (thanks to their partnership with the James Beard Foundation), and going to ports where the big ships can’t go.

And Windstar in in Tahiti most of the year! They really know French Polynesia, and there are lots of reasons to book your trip to Tahiti as a Windstar Cruise.

  • Tahiti is Gorgeous Year-Round—Windstar offers 7-, 10-, 11- and even 17- or 18-day itineraries nearly weekly. All departures sail round trip from Papeete, and itineraries 10-nights and longer include Fakarava UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

  • Popular Cruise + Air + Hotel Packages—Windstar partners with Air Tahiti Nui and the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort & Spa for the ultimate in value and convenience.

  • All-Inclusive Pricing—No, wait. This is the ultimate in value and convenience! Combine All-Inclusive Pricing to any offer or package for only $79 per guest, per day, to include unlimited alcoholic beverages, unlimited Wi-Fi and all gratuities.

  • 2024 is Open for Booking—We are accepting reservations for all Tahiti sailings through August 29, 2024, so your clients can go ahead and set the date.

  • Celebrate Special Occasions—Windstar offers a lovely variety of gifts including champagne, long-stemmed roses, hors d’oeuvres, and logo wear. Couples spa packages are available and Wedding Vow Renewals are performed by the yacht’s Captain.

  • Complimentary Watersports Platform & Equipment—Windstar makes every island a private island when we offer swimming, kayaking paddle boarding and snorkeling right off the back the of the yacht. We will even fit guests with personal snorkeling equipment for their sole use throughout the cruise.

  • Signature Beach Party—Both guests and crew love our exclusive beach party, barbecue lunch, and Watersports Platform day at a private motu and lagoon.

  • Destination Discovery Event—Bora Bora: Celebration Festival, a specially prepared dinner feast on a private motu topped off with an expert fire dancing performance; it’s complimentary and just for guests of Windstar.

  • Culinary Immersion—Windstar chefs source ingredients locally and prepare fresh, culturally inspired cuisine. So your clients can also eat their way through their adventure with the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation. Dining aboard Windstar Cruises is always open seating and no charges are ever required.
