Tahitian Treasures & Magnificent Marquesas

The Windstar Cruises "Tahitian Treasures & Magnificent Marquesas" is a 14-night luxury small-ship voyage aboard the elegant, all-suite Star Breeze (capacity ~312 guests), sailing round-trip from Papeete, Tahiti, from March 2–16, 2028.

This bucket-list itinerary ventures far beyond standard Tahiti cruises into the remote and culturally rich Marquesas Islands, blending iconic Society Islands highlights with UNESCO-protected atolls and dramatic volcanic landscapes. Key ports include Fakarava (a pristine UNESCO Biosphere Reserve ideal for snorkeling/diving amid sharks, rays, and vibrant coral), Fatu Hiva (the "Island of Tapa" with lush vegetation and local artisans), Hiva Oa (Paul Gauguin’s final home, featuring massive ancient tiki statues at Me’ae Lipona), Nuku Hiva (with scenic valleys, archaeological sites, and wild beauty), Rangiroa (world-class lagoon and drift snorkeling), a private motu on Taha’a for beach time and vanilla exploration, an overnight in Bora Bora for its turquoise lagoon and exclusive Polynesian Feast & Fire dancing event on a motu, plus time in Moorea for valley treks and viewpoints.

Windstar’s signature intimate style offers complimentary Destination Discovery events, water sports from the ship, fine dining with local flavors, and easy access to beaches and culture on these less-visited gems—perfect for an unforgettable, immersive Polynesian adventure. This is a group trip with special offers and pricing.
