the details

      Showcasing exemplary space and style are the highly coveted Bridge Suites found onboard Wind Surf. Separate bedroom and living areas invite relaxation after days of onshore exploration. And wash away the day in the magnificent bathroom, where you’ll find a whirlpool spa tub and a muscle-melting massage shower for the ultimate pampering session.

    • Downtime on deck

      Specialising in curating authentic, local experiences, Windstar is deeply immersed in each region’s unique charms and culture during their voyages. Local artistic performances are stunning visual displays of rarely explored cultures and customs, while locally-inspired menus provide a taste of each destination’s culinary highlights – complemented by market tours and cooking demonstrations with Windstar’s onboard chefs.

    • Port pursuits

      Sailing to the beautiful, flower-shaped island of Tahaa, guests learn about Tahiti’s fascinating vanilla trade. Crossing a stunning blue lagoon, reach a small, family-run plantation and see a demonstration of the farming process, from hand-pollinating the orchard blossoms to hand-massaging the beans that make up 80 percent of the region’s vanilla export.
