Overview
Windstar’s intimate Wind Spirit is one of the most unique cruising vessels you’ll ever see, as she boasts four impressive sailing masts – thus you’ll often hear her referred to as a “sail ship” instead of a cruise ship.
Regardless of what you call her, the Wind Spirit is certainly impressive – as each of her 148 guests will always attest. Her expansive teak decks offer plenty of space to spread out and find your own private alcove, while her onboard watersports platform, pool, hot tub, lounge and casino give you a variety of ways to socialize and meet other guests.
While aboard the Wind Spirit, you can enjoy informative destination briefings and port lectures before venturing out into each unique destination. And when you return, be prepared for an outstanding meal at one of the ships onboard restaurants.

The staff on this ship really spoils you. They would do anything to make your trip the best ever. Embarking and disembarking on a small ship with 140 passengers is so stress free. The other passengers were great and easy to get to know on a small ship. Sorry we didn't take some emails!. The excursions and tour guides were so fantastic giving us a wonderful education. Favorite stop was Kusadasi and Ephesus, Turkey. Dinner there at night was like being on a movie set.
Pros: Small ship, manageable number of passengers. Great excursions and wonderful food and service. Very clean ship.
Cons: Hard to get up early for excursions! Not really a con. It would be nice if breakfast went a little later on days we didn't take an early excursion.

Excellent cruise ship! Small and personal. Exceptional service from all ship staff members including the captain. Great ports of call plus many great touches such as a fabulous on deck BBQ that included grilled lobster tails. We also enjoyed a motu picnic one day in a gorgeous location off the island of Taha'a. Ship staff even brought over a generator to operate a blender for mixed beverages! Another nice touch was local traditional Polynesian entertainment on the pool deck the afternoon we were docked in Raiatea. We also enjoyed an evening of wonderful traditional foods, including roast pig, and more local entertainment, including fire dancers the evening we were in Bora Bora. This ship provided everything we were looking for on our Polynesian cruise.
Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing!

This is probably the best Windstar cruise I have experienced. Both regarding the beauty of Tahiti and associated islands visited, and the organization of the trip. This included on board shows by local artists, visits to micro-islands (atolls) during the day and at night (with local dancing and traditionally prepared food), and the quality of the optional guided tours.
Pros: uniqueness of the cruise and welcoming local population
Cons: travel distance/ time from the East Coast
