In 2026, Windstar Cruises will expand its footprint in the South Pacific beyond its established routes in Tahiti, the Tuamotus, and the Marquesas with newly unveiled itineraries that include stops in Fiji, Tonga, and the Cook Islands. Additionally, the line will introduce new 7-night sailings to the Tuamotus and 11-night voyages to the Marquesas, alongside new air and hotel packages featuring overwater bungalows in Bora Bora.
To mark the launch of these offerings, Windstar has introduced an early booking incentive. Guests who reserve a 2026 South Pacific cruise by October 31st, 2024, will receive a complimentary All-Inclusive package, as well as a US$100 onboard credit per stateroom.
One of the highlighted itineraries, the 15-day "Flowers of the South French Polynesia," begins with an overnight stay in Fiji. Ports of call include Savusavu and Taveuni in Fiji, Nuku’alofa in Tonga, and Aitutaki and Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. The voyage also features an overnight in Bora Bora before concluding in Papeete, Tahiti.
Also debuting is the 10- or 11-day "Maori Storytellers & French Polynesia Treasures," which sails roundtrip from Papeete, with stops at Raiatea, Aitutaki, and Rarotonga, an overnight in Bora Bora, a day on the private island of Motu Mahaea (Taha’a), and visits to Huahine (on the 11-night option) and Moorea.
Additional offerings include the 7-day "Tantalizing Tuamotu Islands & Beautiful Bora Bora" and the 11-day "Far Flung French Polynesia and Marquesas Magic." Guests can also take advantage of new air and overwater bungalow packages, combinable with Windstar's signature 7-day "Dreams of Tahiti" cruise, with overwater bungalow stays in Bora Bora available from March 2025.
For those seeking a comprehensive escape, the 14-day "Stars Over Bora Bora" package includes roundtrip Air Tahiti Nui flights from Seattle or Los Angeles, 2 nights in Papeete, and 3 nights in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora.
