17 nights on Wind Spirit in French Polynesia was the cruise of our lifetime. The ship, food, staff and amenities were perfection, and our clothes were wet with tears having to disembark. The staff literally knock themselves out trying to please and make the experience something you'll never forget. We chose this because we sailed a 7 day on the original Windsong Tahiti 25 years ago- it was a dream ...
We enjoyed the small ship atmosphere with a limited number of guests we felt like we actually go to know people and crew. It felt like we were on a big yacht complete with sails! The food was excellent with buffet choices and the ability to order from a menu at breakfast and lunch. Dinners were fabulous with several choices, it was sometimes difficult to choose from so many great options! The ...
This was advertised as a "sailing" ship," filling its sails with the tradewinds of Tahiti" in every advertisement, and we fell for it. As experienced sailors on a 40' sailboat, San Diego to Hawaii and back, pacific northwest, central america and panama canal, we know sailing. The feeble efforts to make this look like sailing consisted of releasing tiny pieces of storm jib type sails for photo ...
After researching the best way to see the islands of Tahiti my wife and I settled on a cruise as the best way to travel through the islands and also get to stay at and explore one of our dream destinations...Bora Bora!
The Windspirit ticked all the boxes, small ship, no sea days, no children, no lifts, perfect.
Now for a quick rundown on the ship, only around 70 cabins, so less than 130 ...
French Polynesia is a location we have visited in the past but this was an opportunity to sail to many of the islands of this area and see them from a different prospective. We had stayed at two resorts on two different islands in over the water bungalows, so this was a new experience and was very enjoyable. Sailing on the Wind Spirit gave us the opportunity to explore areas that we would not be ...
We always wanted to go to Tahiti / Bora Bora and we decided that a cruise would be the best way to see the most islands. We would highly recommend the Windstar Wind Spirit. We took a 7 day cruise and loved it. We did not book our flights or any tours through the cruise line. The ship was small - maybe 140 passengers and the food and service was great. We flew in the day before and took the ...
My husband and i took this special cruise to french polynesia for my 60th birthday celebrations. We had a wonderful time and the service was good however it was not impeccable nor outstanding. I was expecting a cleaner cabin 227 hence found carpet was delapidated and our attendant was not accomadating since we had to ask for basic toiletries on our first day and ice cube! In addition we bought a ...
Windstar has been on my radar for awhile. We are pretty adventuresome travelers and not big cruise people but theidea of a sailing yacht exploring the iskands in French Polynesia sounded like fun. After a rough year we were looking forward to a trip where we didn’t have to think or plan too much.
Windstar and The Wind Spirit completely exceeded all of our expectations. I woukd call this line “ ...
Since my first memories of the movie/soundtrack of South Pacific, these islands have been on my bucket list and I decided to use a reunion trip to Australia to have a break on the trip home. The cruise was as billed, but the quality of food, the friendly vibe of crew and passengers, well designed cabin that I shared with a longtime friend, great weather, and special meals on the motus made it even ...

This is a cruise for you if you ever wondered what it would be like to sail aboard a private sailing yacht through the South Pacific paradise.
HITS:
- Sailing on a four mast ship through the South Pacific Islands just sailing on your own private Motoring Yacht at a fraction of the cost.
- The two special events on private motu (reef islands) were ...
