Windstar & your luxury foodie cruise
A Complimentary Windstar Destination Discovery Event
Windstar’s motto—“180° from Ordinary”—says it all. With sleek, sail-powered yachts that glide into small harbors and hidden coves, Windstar captures the essence of private sailing with the amenities of a five-star hotel.
Bora Bora is surrounded by a number of tiny islets called “motu” – small, pristine, secluded paradises that offer privacy, beauty and relaxing ambiance. You will spend the evening on one of these perfect Polynesian oases accompanied only by other Windstar guests. As has long been the tradition in Tahiti, you will be welcomed to the motu with a fragrant flower lei.
Your private feast on the beach promises to be extraordinary. The menu has been carefully selected by Windstar’s executive chef and is sure to please and tantalize your palate.
When your meal is complete and the stars begin to shine, the highlight of this enchanted evening will begin. Fire dancing has long been deeply embedded in the Polynesian culture as a way to send messages to the gods. Your fire dancing experts will be wearing traditional loincloths and will dazzle you with high-speed acrobatic moves, throwing flames so hot you’ll feel the warmth 10 feet away.
Please note: This Destination Discovery Event has been scheduled in a way that will allow you to book and experience another shore excursion on the same day and you will not miss anything.

Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection
The Ritz-Carlton name evokes timeless refinement, and the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection brings that same sophistication to the water. The debut of Evrima, followed by Ilma and Luminara, marks a new era of ocean travel—where the atmosphere feels more like a private residence than a cruise.
Guests will kayak the azure waters of Tahiti and Hawaii directly from the yacht’s Marina before even stepping ashore. They’ll cross the equator and the International Date Line to be among the first in the world to welcome a new day in Kiribati. In Hawaii, travelers will traverse lush backroads past taro fields and roadside stands selling fresh-baked banana bread on their way to the Hana Highway on Maui or Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. In French Polynesia, they’ll savor the beauty of Bora Bora’s crystalline waters, where overwater bungalows, coral gardens, and lush mountain backdrops create the quintessential South Pacific dreamscape.
