Description

Formerly Seabourn Spirit, Star Breeze joined the Windstar fleet in 2015. She is often remembered for the attack suffered by pirates off the Somali coast in 2005, where no passengers suffered any injuries anyway. Star Breeze is one of the company's three non-sailing cruise ships, offering a very different, but complementary product, similar to the one possible on a large luxurious yacht.

Unforgettable experience aboard the Star Breeze in the waters of French Polynesia

Comment

The cruise on the Star Breeze was a true dream journey among some of the most fascinating islands of French Polynesia. Departing from Papeete, Tahiti, we sailed to the stunning Fakarava Atoll in the Tuamotus, then explored the remote Marquesas Islands of Fatu Hiva, Hiva Oa, and Nuku Hiva. After a stop at Rangiroa Atoll, we visited Tahaa and spent two unforgettable days in Bora Bora, finishing with a relaxing stop at Moorea before returning to Papeete. The embarkation was very efficient and welcoming, with courteous staff making the first contact with the ship simple and pleasant. Onboard, the service stood out for its great attention to detail: the crew was always available, professional, and attentive to guests’ needs, creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The cabins are spacious and comfortable, perfect for enjoying the unique Polynesian scenery. Disembarkation was also very well organized, making the return to shore stress-free.
