You Can Explore Tahiti Like the Golden Bachelorette with Windstar Cruises (Here’s How)

Windstar Cruises makes booking a romantic vacation in Tahiti easier than ever with three package options allowing you to travel by land and sea.

If you were enamored with the recent finale of The Golden Bachelorette as Joan Vassos completed her journey for a second chance at love in the lush tropical Tahitian Islands paradise, you're not alone. Joan and the final two men vying for her heart explored Tahiti in the lap of luxury (streaming on Hulu), thanks to indulgent resorts and Windstar Cruises' small 312-passenger ship, Star Breeze. But their swoon-worthy experiences aren't just theirs to enjoy — you can book your romantic Tahitian escape today. Here's how.

Three Romantic Tahitian Travel Packages Make It Easier Than Ever to Explore French Polynesia

The first step to exploring Tahiti in French Polynesia, like the Golden Bachelorette, is booking one of three packages offered by Windstar Cruises. Let's explore your options, allowing you to experience Tahiti like Joan and the final two contestants, Chock and Guy, on the hit ABC television show watched by millions of viewers.

The packages include experiences in the overwater bungalows the men stayed in and a Windstar Cruise aboard Star Breeze, Joan's home for the final episodes. All packages include transfers in Tahiti between the airport, hotels, and the cruise ship. Gourmet breakfast and Wi-Fi are included at the hotels.

Experience Authentic Tahiti from the Very Beginning of Your Vacation with Air Tahiti Nui

To simplify your travel packages and make booking even more effortless, all three packages include roundtrip air from the West Coast of the United States to Papeete, Tahiti, on Air Tahiti Nui, from Los Angeles or Seattle, depending on the package.

Warm Tahitian Welcome As you Step Onboard

Air Tahiti Nui is the leading carrier to French Polynesia, with service that delivers a taste of Tahitian culture from the moment you step onboard from immersive in-flight entertainment and unique cabin designs to the iconic Tiare flower gifted to each guest. (It makes you think of the roses in The Golden Bachelorette, doesn't it?)

Picturesque Aerial Island Views as You Arrive In Tahiti

Imagine this incredible green and turquoise view seen from the comfort of your Air Tahiti Nui flight as you arrive in Tahiti. You're now the star of your own romantic escape, much like Joan Vassos during The Golden Bachelorette's final episodes.

A Restful & Relaxing Flight to Tahiti

Thanks to your comfortable in-flight accommodations with Air Tahiti Nui, you'll arrive in French Polynesia well-rested and ready to continue your luxurious, romantic getaway.

Final Rose & Overwater Bungalows Package

Let's dive into your package options, starting with the Final Rose & Overwater Bungalows choice. Fly roundtrip from Los Angeles on Air Tahiti Nui and stay one night at the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort in Papeete before transferring to the Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea for three nights in an overwater bungalow. An ATV and snorkeling excursion are included before it’s off to board Windstar Cruises Star Breeze in Moorea for a 6-day cruise in the islands.

Golden Days in Bora Bora, Air & Overwater Villa Package from Seattle

Fly roundtrip from Los Angeles on Air Tahiti Nui and stay one night at the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort in Papeete before transferring to the Hilton Conrad Bora Bora Nui for two nights in an overwater villa, and then a weeklong cruise.

Golden Days in Bora Bora Air + Overwater Villa Package from Seattle

Fly roundtrip from Seattle, Washington, to Papeete, Tahiti, on Air Tahiti Nui and stay two nights in an overwater villa at the Intercontinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa. After a weeklong cruise in the islands with Windstar Cruises in a spacious stateroom like the one seen here, spend one night at the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort in Papeete.

Turn Up the Romance Once Onboard Your Windstar Cruise

For special romantic touches on Windstar’s yacht, Star Breeze, you can purchase romance packages with extra indulgences like a couples massage, rose petal bed turndown just like the Bachelorette, and a private dinner under the stars. Additional celebration packages include elements for vow renewals, engagements, and weddings.

Immerse yourself in the Beauty of everyday Tahiti

The Islands of Tahiti have been a natural choice for romantic vacations for decades, thanks to their stunning tropical beaches, turquoise waters, and intimate, serene ambiance. But Tahiti offers much more than meets the eye. Look forward to learning about the rich Polynesian culture that’s deeply rooted in traditions. Discover Tahiti's heritage by visiting ancient marae temples and learning the symbolism behind traditional tattoo art.

Dive into Tahitian culture through experiences that connect you with history and the daily lives of local people, like swimming in turquoise lagoons, snorkeling, or diving among vibrant coral reefs and graceful manta rays. Dig into the local food scene with market tours and cooking classes featuring dishes like poisson cru.

Round out your journey with hikes through lush landscapes, offering a blend of nature and culture that captures the true spirit of this tropical paradise.

Anticipate Stunning Sunsets from Your Luxury Cruise Ship

The best sunset views are over the jewel-toned water in Tahiti. And what better way to feel like you're in an episode of The Golden Bachelorette than to have your own sunset moment in the islands?

Evening Opulence with Windstar Cruises

After sunset, enjoy a meal at one of three restaurants on Star Breeze, including menu items crafted by James Beard Foundation chefs. Evening entertainment will keep your relationship exciting and fun-filled before you retreat to your room for sweet dreams.
