Windstar Cruises and Pacific Beachcomber Collaborate to Enhance French Polynesia Experiences

Renowned for its small ship voyages in French Polynesia, Windstar Cruises has unveiled an exciting partnership with Pacific Beachcomber, a luxury operator managing seven prestigious hotels across French Polynesia, including InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG), Maitai Hotels, and The Brando.

The focal point of this collaboration is the introduction of exclusive two-night stay packages at The Brando, an exquisite private island eco-resort under the wing of Pacific Beachcomber. Nestled amidst pristine white-sand beaches and overlooking a vast five-mile lagoon, The Brando boasts only 35 secluded villas.

Commencing from May 1, 2024, as an exclusive post-cruise add-on, this package is available solely for guests occupying the top suites aboard the Star Breeze: the esteemed Broadmoor and Sea Island Suites, as well as the Owner’s Suites. The package encompasses daily excursions, spa indulgences, beach amenities, and more. Additionally, transfers to and from The Brando via a 20-minute flight from Papeete, where guests disembark from the cruise, are included. Pricing for the package starts from $6,900 per person based on double occupancy.

In conjunction with the arrival of Star Breeze, Windstar has forged an exclusive alliance with Pacific Beachcomber’s InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa in Papeete, facilitating convenient pre- and post-cruise stays on the captivating island of Tahiti. Moreover, the resort has been seamlessly integrated into Windstar’s popular Air + Hotel packages departing from both Los Angeles and Seattle.

Richard Bailey, Chairman of Pacific Beachcomber, extends a warm invitation to Windstar Cruises’ guests to explore their secluded island retreats, including The Brando—an unparalleled eco-resort nestled in the heart of French Polynesia. Guests at The Brando can partake in a myriad of activities ranging from snorkeling and bird watching to immersive cultural experiences and rejuvenating spa treatments at the renowned Varua Te Ora Polynesian Spa.

In Bora Bora, at Pacific Beachcomber’s Intercontinental Bora Bora Le Moana, Windstar currently offers one-night overwater bungalow stays as an additional excursion, allowing guests to fulfill their dream of spending a night in a romantic overwater bungalow—an experience coveted by many visitors to Tahiti.

Through this collaboration, Windstar Cruises and Pacific Beachcomber are poised to elevate the French Polynesian experience, offering guests unparalleled luxury and unforgettable memories both at sea and on land.
