Looks good!
A fantastic itinerary.
Great itinerary! We have stayed in Lipari, and Stromboli. Would love to see this offered in 2013 in September or October!!! We love Windstar!
Great news . Travelled on Windstar around Tahiti a couple of times before and it is a beautiful experience.
I am curious as to why the pictures in Tahiti show a ship with 4 masts. Is there some secret Windstar isn’t revealing? Or just clumsy PR?
Hi Morris, Wind Surf is our only yacht with five masts. Our two smaller yachts, Wind Star and Wind Spirit, have four masts. The former Wind Song also only had four masts.
We look forward to Tahiti next year – we were on the WindSong in Tahiti in 1996 before the ship’s demise.
And I assume there will be a repositioning cruise as well? Details please! 🙂
Yes, there will be two 22-day Trans-Pacific crossings. Stay tuned in March when we announce the itineraries for sale!
Looking forward to it!
OMG I am so looking forward to go back and on the “Spirit”. First year of retirement, what a way to celebrate, thanks Windstar.
Woo Hoo!! Did the Wind Song in Tahiti in ’91, can’t wait to do it again!
Did this itinerary years ago & can’t wait to do it again!
I sailed on the Windsong three times in Tahiti and can’t wait to go back!
I loved all three previous cruises in Tahiti on the Wind Song and can’t wait to go back!
Can’t wait to do this trip! Will there be any air inclusive packages?
We’ll be announcing the itineraries for sale in March so stay tuned for details on our complete offering!
We’ll be returning to Tahiti with you. What great news. Can’t wait.
Wow! Did Windsong in 1994. Be fantastic to celebrate 20 years later on Wind Spirit. Can’t wait to book!
I sailed on the msy Wind Song in December 1994. Amazing ship, impeccable service, almost surreal destinations (as a longer cruise, we also had Rangiroa on the itinerary). Glad to hear Windstar Cruises is returning.
Do these boats ever completely sail without any engine power?
Hi Thomas, as a matter of fact they do! We try to maximize time under full sail on each voyage with our sailings yachts. Currents and wind conditions can affect that as we do have schedules we need to maintain in order to make it on time to each port, so it will vary from day to day.
We have dreamed of doing this for years! One beautiful evening, about 20 years ago we were in Bora Bora enjoying the enchanting dance, music and drums of the islands on the beach and saw the masts of the WindSong moored in the bay offshore etched against the light of the full moon. We said, “Someday, we will sail on that ship!” But we never did. We are excited to have the opportunity once again. Can’t wait!
We are alums that are sailing to Croatia in June out of Venice. Could someone who is familiar with that sail contact me at [email protected]. I have tried to get cogent information on some connection details to no avail. We need more definite details instead of what I can read on the brochures. Thank you.
Will be on this one the end of May 2014 for my and my husband’s 50th birthday (we are 3 months apart!). SO excited!!
We are in!! sign me up 🙂
