Official voyage overview

Sail from the rainforests of Central America to the dreamy islands of French Polynesia on this epic journey across the Pacific. Begin in Colón with a Panama Canal transit, then explore Panama and Costa Rica’s wild Pacific coast—home to scarlet macaws, mangroves, and golden beaches. Settle into life at sea during an extraordinary 20-day transoceanic crossing, where you’ll have time to unwind, enjoy gourmet dining, spa treatments, and finish passion projects. Arrive in Tahiti to island-hop through paradise: snorkel in Bora Bora’s lagoon, explore sacred sites in Raiatea, and relax on Moorea. In many ports, Windstar’s Marina lets you kayak, swim, or paddleboard right from the ship.
