How to Sail French Polynesia

If you’re looking for a way to sail French Polynesia with none of the hassle and all of the luxury, our travel agency recommends Windstar Cruises. Having sailed these islands for 40 years, Windstar shows travelers a version of French Polynesia most never see. Their fleet of intimate yachts and iconic sail ships slip into ports the big ships can’t reach — places where authentic experiences await. Explore hidden harbors, charming villages and iconic islands, all in boutique style thanks to Windstar’s intimate vessels.

Book your Windstar cruise by November 17, 2026, and enjoy a Complimentary All-Inclusive Package with gratuities, unlimited Wi-Fi and select beer, cocktails and wine by the glass, plus a reduced deposit of $300 per stateroom* on voyages sailing through 2027. Plus, receive $300 onboard credit on select sailings, exclusively through our agency.

Why We Recommend Windstar: 

  • Tahitian Cultural Ambassadors sail with you the entire cruise and share their insight.
  • You’ll wake up somewhere new most mornings, across islands and archipelagoes most travelers never reach.
  • You’ll experience a complimentary Polynesian Feast & Fire: a sunset dinner and fire dance on a private island near Bora Bora.
