Windstar's Star Breeze to sail year-round in Tahiti

Star Breeze began cruising in Tahiti on 4th February following a ceremony attended by over 500 guests including esteemed dignitaries such as Moetai Brotherson, President of French Polynesia; Tony Geros, Speaker of the House; Manouche Lehartel, Deputy Mayor of Papeete; as well as Air Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Tourism partners, port officials, travel advisors, media and Windstar executives. The event marked a significant milestone in Windstar’s commitment to providing unparalleled small ship experiences in Tahiti. In celebration, local artist Jessie Tiare Manutahi is on board to reveal an artistic Tahitian-inspired logo made up of symbols representing Windstar in Tahiti.

Windstar’s Star Breeze visits 11 islands and atolls in French Polynesia beginning in 2024, offering enriched cultural onboard experiences and new elements 

As part of its partnership with Coral Gardeners, two new shore excursions take guests to the headquarters to meet the team, visit coral nurseries and learn about the importance of protecting the corals in a hands-on and interactive way. To date, Windstar, along with its guests, have adopted over 2,500 corals with Coral Gardeners, but Windstar’s goal is to open a dedicated nursery supporting 5,000 corals in 2025.

Windstar’s long-time partnerships with island communities, Air Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Tourism continue to evolve with new ideas and offerings. Air and hotel packages are offered and a new foodie cruise tour combines the seven-day Dreams of Tahiti cruise with a three-night stay at Moorea’s Hotel Manava Beach Resort and Spa, a foodie adventure and snorkelling tour.

Windstar will continue to offer key Tahiti favourites including the signature Bora Bora Destination Discovery Event on a private Tahitian motu where guests enjoy an al fresco dinner with traditional foods, live music and local fire dancers light up the night. Plus Tahiti tattooist, cultural expert and guide Tihoti brings local culture and traditions alive on board and guests can swim directly off Windstar’s Watersports Platform.
