Overwater Villa & Society Islands Cruise
Two nights above the Bora Bora lagoon, then a week under sail
This is the Tahiti of the imagination, and it begins with a stay in an overwater villa on the Bora Bora lagoon. After a night in Papeete, a short island-hopper flight carries you to Bora Bora, where you spend two nights suspended above impossibly clear water, stepping straight from your deck into the lagoon beneath the peak of Mount Otemanu. Only then do you return to Papeete to board Star Breeze, an all-suite yacht small enough to slip into anchorages the big ships cannot reach, for a week of Society Islands: sacred Raiatea, a private motu barbecue off Taha’a, a second overnight in Bora Bora with a beach feast and fire dancers, and the green cathedral peaks of Moorea. Land and sea, at their most beautiful.

FAQs
This one puts you in an overwater villa on the Bora Bora lagoon for two nights before the cruise, so you experience Bora Bora both by land and later by sea. It also contains no long-haul flight, only the inter-island hops, which we pair with flights from the UK.
Yes, and deliberately so. You fly there first for two nights in an overwater villa, then return by yacht later in the voyage for an overnight stay, including the private motu beach feast and fire dancing.
The inter-island flights between Papeete and Bora Bora are included, along with all transfers. International flights to and from Papeete are arranged separately by us to suit your departure city.
Most departures sail aboard Star Breeze, a 312-guest all-suite yacht. Selected 2027 dates operate on Wind Star instead, so we confirm the vessel for your chosen departure at the time of booking.
