The 2028 season explores a wide range of captivating destinations, including Tahiti, the Tuamotus, the Marquesas, and the Cook Islands. Travelers who reserve their journey by May 31, 2026, can take advantage of an Early Booking Offer that provides the best fares and preferred stateroom selection. Those who pay in full at the time of booking can enjoy an additional five percent savings. To make the journey even more seamless, Windstar offers comprehensive Cruise plus Air plus Hotel packages, which can include iconic overwater bungalow stays in Moorea and Bora Bora.

Onboard, the experience is deeply rooted in Polynesian culture. Tahitian cultural ambassadors join every sailing to share local traditions, language, and music. Guests can participate in ukulele lessons or enjoy a signature Destination Discovery Event in Bora Bora, featuring traditional fire-dance performances under the stars. As the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation, Windstar also delivers an exceptional culinary experience with menus inspired by the flavors of the islands. Whether it is a seven-day escape or a longer Star Collector voyage, Windstar provides a sophisticated and unhurried way to discover the mythical beauty of French Polynesia.
