Edited by Travel Weekly


    Windstar Cruises takes guests on a South Pacific adventure with its exclusive 17-night Tahiti Treasures and Marquesas Marvels package complete with return airfare, accommodations, and transport.

    Fatu, Hiva Bay

    Fatu, Hiva Bay.

    The luxury small ship cruise line provides guests with an enchanting journey beyond the typical Tahiti cruise to explore the remote and relatively uncharted Marquesas Islands.

    Guests will feel like they are on board their own private small ship with cruise capacity at only 312 at most. The ship is large enough to accommodate and entertain, yet small enough to tuck into small ports and hidden gems that larger ships can’t reach.
