Why should your clients settle for just one island at a resort when there’s so much more in Tahiti that they can discover?  Windstar has been sailing in Tahiti for over 35 years, so no other cruise line knows the islands like we do. 

Temperatures may be dropping, but winter escapes are heating up, and low-cost airline French Bee is offering amazing trips from Paris to Tahiti starting as low as $387.

Is the northern hemisphere’s approaching winter chill making you shiver and crave a tranquil trip to the tropics? Look no further than Tahiti.

French Polynesia, often just called “Tahiti,” in reference to its capital island,  is just a speck in the ocean on a world map. The 118 islands and atolls that make up the region are remote from the rest of the world — it’s a seven-hour flight from Los Angeles. The location is perhaps why, historically, Tahitians were some of the world’s best navigators. They sailed between Tahitian islands and nearby neighbors as early as 200 BC in narrow outrigger canoes called va’a.
