Fakarava | Wednesday, Feb 21, 2024 | Wednesday, Feb 21, 2024 |
An hour and a half flight from Papeete, rectangular-shaped Fakarava is a charming village, home to most of the atoll's 248 inhabitants. The only other - sort of - settlement (10 people ) is on Tetamanu Motu Islet located opposite the lagoon next to the smaller but prettier pass. Fakarava's immense lagoon has several black pearl farms, idyllic white sand beaches and is peppered with small islands, homes to many breeds of nesting birds oblivious to visitors. | ||
Rangiroa | Thursday, Feb 22, 2024 | Thursday, Feb 22, 2024 |
Rangiroa is a perfect example of what happnes to a volcano when it erodes over time. Its caldera submerged, creating a body of water surrounded by a dotted ring of sand and reef. Truly one of the world's greatest diving destinations, Rangiroa attracts both amateur and professional divers worldwide. | ||

Bora Bora | Sunday, Feb 25, 2024 | Sunday, Feb 25, 2024 |
Bora Bora is considered one of the most romantic places anywhere. Dominant from the moment of arrival are majestic Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia, two towering volcanic peaks of black rock jutting out of the center of the emerald-green island. Often shrouded in clouds, these landmarks take on mysterious and mythical qualities. Off-road excursions, bicycling, and hiking into this wild beauty reveal incredible panoramas and valleys. Hundreds of brilliantly-colored fish, intricate gardens, and clear water also create some of the very best undersea worlds. For an exhilarating expedition, swim with and watch local divers feed small, non-dangerous lagoon sharks. Bora Bora has several ancient temples and authentic Polynesian villages. There are also some reminders of World War II with a number of cannon emplacements left behind by the U.S. Navy. | ||

Huahine | Tuesday, Feb 27, 2024 | Tuesday, Feb 27, 2024 |
Less visited than the other Society Islands, Huahine maintains more of the traditional pace of life. There are ancient temples to explore, vanilla plantations to view or drives into the hinterlands in 4-wheel-drive-vans. The coral reefs offshore are excellent for snorkeling. | ||
Moorea | Wednesday, Feb 28, 2024 | Wednesday, Feb 28, 2024 |
This magical island is what inspired James Michener to write about mythical "Bali Hai." The rugged mountains rise dramatically from the ocean and stand guard over this lush island that features everything from white sandy beaches to pineapple plantations to cascading waterfalls to secluded coves. A trip through the lushly-forested inland to Le Belvedere lookout opens a breathtaking view of deep blue waters of Cook's and Opunohu bays, which are the perfect anchorages for luxury yachts and sailboats alike. Horseback riding on the beach, bicycling and hiking into the mountains, deep-sea fishing, sailing, scuba diving, para-sailing, and much more awaits. | ||

Submit Your Own Review!The staff of Windstar’s Wind Sprit were exceptional. By second day they new your name and cabin number. Captain Belinda was full of personality and enthusiasm. This was also reflected within her senior staff on down.
Pros: The staff of Windstar’s Wind Sprit were exceptional. By second day they new your name and cabin number. Captain Belinda was full of personality and enthusiasm. This was also reflected within her senior staff on down.
Cons: The ship could use some updating which I understand is happening in 2025. Also would have appreciated access to chips or nibbles during “happy hour”. The ship’s store lacked snacks, candy and basic toiletries
Review: Outstanding crew.

Ports of call were great. Excursions were fun and well organized.
Pros: Ports of call were great. Excursions were fun and well organized.
Cons: Too short.
Review: The ship is a little tired and needs updating but the trip made up for it. Wished we stayed longer in other ports so that we could do more than one excursion and be able to experience more of the islands.
The casual elegance; the genuine warmth and enthusiasm of the captain and crew; the collegial feeling of being on a small ship and getting to know passengers and crew; the food is fabulous; attention to detail throughout the ship; every need and want seems to be anticipated; from booking to the trip itself, Windstar's communication is warm, friendly, accurate.

Cons: I honestly can't think of any downsides
Review: We just finished a voyage through French Polynesia on the Wind Spirit. The best word I can think of for Tahiti, Mo'orea, Bora Bora, Huahine, and our other stops in the Society Islands is ... enchanting. The Wind Spirit and her crew feel a part of the islands. Beautiful, welcoming, and real. Having sailed with numerous cruise lines over the years, this is it. It is Windstar for us from now on. Wind Spirit is the epitome of casual elegance. The staterooms are comfortable and well appointed. The public spaces are lovely, but not showy or pretentious. We took advantage of the all-in package with drinks and gratuities included, as well as the laundry service. A fantastic value that made our voyage easy and relaxed.
Comfortable, personable surroundings. All staff genuinely cared about us.
Pros: Comfortable, personable surroundings. All staff genuinely cared about us.
Cons: Limited entertainment. Just some singing (although they were good, just not other options)
Review: We were pleasantly surprised how much we liked the small ship and especially how well all the crew took care of us. For some of them to remember our names from day one and recognize us anywhere on the ship was amazing. Charlie was especially kind and helpful when eating at the Veranda. Bombang was punctual and so helpful every time we ordered room service, which was a lot! The excursions offered were so fun and insightful.
the staff is amazing and the ports are excellent
Pros: the staff is amazing and the ports are excellent
Cons: drinks seemed week and could have a bigger variety on food in evenings.
Review: I highly recommend this cruise. The staff was amazing from the minute we got on board. We sailed throughout French Polynesia with an overnight in Bora Bora. The feel of the ship was more of yachting rather than a large cruise ship. They treat everybody very well and I heard nothing but compliments throughout the week. The food could be a little better with a bigger variety but overall good. I loved the private parties they had on private Motus. One day we had a beach party with snorkeling and water sports for everybody on the ship and one night they did the same with local entertainment that got everybody joining in.
Great itinerary, great service and a beautiful ship
Pros: Great itinerary, great service and a beautiful ship
Cons: None
Review: Will definitely take another Windstar cruise.
Everything TOP Notch
Pros: Everything TOP Notch
Cons: None
Review: My First WindStar Cruise. Exceeded my expectations!! Absolutely NO negative comments!!
Nice staff. Beautiful waters and fish in Tahiti; natural beauty.
Pros: Nice staff. Beautiful waters and fish in Tahiti; natural beauty.
Cons: Don't go Tahiti/Society Islands if you are a shopper. These islands are small and basic.
Review: Snorkeling was great. Had excursions for all skill levels. Everything was on time. Basic ship, no frills, but very adequate. Thoroughly enjoyed fellow guests. Limited entertainment, but fun.
Perfect way to sail the islands with gorgeous scenery
Pros: Perfect way to sail the islands with gorgeous scenery
Cons: Weak alcoholic drinks and better wine selections
Review: Good selection of shore excursions but overly priced. Food was good with many choices at breakfast and lunch buffets and nice portions at dinner. Not many places to go to get out of the sun except for Air conditioned stateroom. She is a grand sailing vessel but is showing her age a bit.
Crew/staff were ALL amazing, professional and pampered us every which way!
Pros: Crew/staff were ALL amazing, professional and pampered us every which way!
Cons: Can't think of anything
Review: We would sail on Windstar again! We loved the smaller vessel, the crew, our cabin, the excursions, the food, and the ports of call! Special mention to the following staff: Uussup, Cabin Steward Olim, Waiter Fajar, Waiter Karolina, Gift Shop Uus, Sports Activities Karen, Fitness/Salon
Pros: No Pros
Cons: No Cons
Review: Outstanding service and crusine. Tahitians are tres jolie, like the scenery and waters. Don't want to fly AA, in future. On forthcoming trip this summer, would like to consider fly either Super Economy, or BUSINESS, or forbid, 1st class. Sitting next to a Parisian of much AVOIR DUPOIS was unseemly for 8 hrs. On future real long distance travels, will have to consider 'breaks' in travel by an overnite layover to hold down 'time zone' fatigue. I appreciate your efforts/connections re the upgraded stateroom. Regards, cliff
Pros: No Pros
Cons: No Cons
Review: Our entire cruise experience was amazing. I have not one bad thing to say. The crew, the food, the experience, all were exceptional!
Wonderful ship, crew and beautiful scenery
Pros: Wonderful ship, crew and beautiful scenery
Cons: None
Review: I have to say that this trip as one of the best I've taken over many years. I would highly suggest this adventure to anyone looking for a wonderful time.
Great service, loved small ship, great locale
Pros: Great service, loved small ship, great locale
Cons: Food quality was not great, rooms a bit worn
Review: Loved French Polynesia and the small ship. Seemed like our own personal Yacht with no Crowds or lines. Service was great with staff knowing you by name by the second day. Food quality in Amphora was below Princess or Royal Caribbean standards. By quality I mean seasoning, serving temp, etc. The Veranda was good and the deck BBQ was fabulous. Our Candles experience was not good. Poor service and cold food. Breakfast and lunch in the Veranda gave lots of fresh choices. Bread and dessert is their forte, so watch out for the weight gain. :) We loved the Polynesian show and buffet on Motu Tapu the 2nd Bora Bora night. Our couples massage under the stars one night was a highlight and well worth the money. Get a later time after 7 pm. Do not get the drink package unless you drink at least 8 drinks each per day. We took 2 bottles wine each on board then bought other drinks and our bar tab was only $300 for the week. The day on the motu at Tahaa was fun but don't get a beach massage unless you want a sand scrub also. :). The Captain is awesome and happy to have you on the bridge anytime and answer all your questions. He tried to be under sail as much as possible. All the stops were great and we booked our own shore excursions independent of Wind Star so I can't rate their excursions. Having paddle boards and kayaks to use off the back of the ship was fun. The ship holds 148 passengers so you know everyone by the end of the week. We met two other couples that we plan to keep in touch with and possibly vacation with next year. Age demographics are pretty balanced with couples from mid 30s to early 70s. There are no elevators and lots of stairs so not for those with mobility issues. A very active crowd. Fun, friendly too. This is a relaxing laid back cruise with only a two person band for evening entertainment, the casino was only open a few times and there are no shows or bingo. If that's your thing, go with princess. This is destination centered, very personalized ship. Again, service is amazing. You call for something and it arrives in 5 min. Like having your own personal butler. We had a blast. We are mid 40s and well traveled.
Exceptional service at a great travel spot
Pros: Exceptional service at a great travel spot
Cons: Too short
Review: Wonderful experience!
uniqueness of the cruise and welcoming local population
Pros: uniqueness of the cruise and welcoming local population
Cons: travel distance/ time from the East Coast
Review: This is probably the best Windstar cruise I have experienced. Both regarding the beauty of Tahiti and associated islands visited, and the organization of the trip. This included on board shows by local artists, visits to micro-islands (atolls) during the day and at night (with local dancing and traditionally prepared food), and the quality of the optional guided tours.
Everything!
Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing!
Review: Excellent cruise ship! Small and personal. Exceptional service from all ship staff members including the captain. Great ports of call plus many great touches such as a fabulous on deck BBQ that included grilled lobster tails. We also enjoyed a motu picnic one day in a gorgeous location off the island of Taha'a. Ship staff even brought over a generator to operate a blender for mixed beverages! Another nice touch was local traditional Polynesian entertainment on the pool deck the afternoon we were docked in Raiatea. We also enjoyed an evening of wonderful traditional foods, including roast pig, and more local entertainment, including fire dancers the evening we were in Bora Bora. This ship provided everything we were looking for on our Polynesian cruise.
