The Wind Spirit with only 148 guests will feel like your own private ship. She’s large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbours and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
Please note that there are no balconies on the Wind Spirit and all staterooms have two side by side portholes. The Owners Suite has a large picture window.

A Complimentary Windstar Destination Discovery Event
Bora Bora is surrounded by a number of tiny islets called “motu” – small, pristine, secluded paradises that offer privacy, beauty and relaxing ambiance. You will spend the evening on one of these perfect Polynesian oases accompanied only by other Windstar guests. As has long been the tradition in Tahiti, you will be welcomed to the motu with a fragrant flower lei.
Your private feast on the beach promises to be extraordinary. The menu has been carefully selected by Windstar’s executive chef and is sure to please and tantalize your palate.
When your meal is complete and the stars begin to shine, the highlight of this enchanted evening will begin. Fire dancing has long been deeply embedded in the Polynesian culture as a way to send messages to the gods. Your fire dancing experts will be wearing traditional loincloths and will dazzle you with high-speed acrobatic moves, throwing flames so hot you’ll feel the warmth 10 feet away.
Popular Highlights
Everyone raves about the beauty of Tahiti and Bora Bora and a cruise is perfect for experiencing the different islands.

The Northwest Passage is an incredible voyage of discovery and I loved the diversity of it. Some highlights were incredible sightings of polar bears, seeing the Northern Lights,
plus cruising through the Bering Strait. There were 9 of us from SA, all very well travelled / cruised and we rated this as a trip of a lifetime!

The Amazon is wide, slow and winding, with large areas of seasonally flooded forest. The river itself forms the triple borders of Brazil, Colombia and Peru. Flooded by blackwater tributaries with sediments from the Andes, it carries nutrients to support an amazing diversity of plant and animal life. Explore this incredible place rarely seen by the outside world, encounter indigenous populations, and learn how the rise and fall of the river relates to the rise and fall of fortunes. Possible wildlife encounters include sloths, monkeys, birds, pink dolphins and more.
Aside from offering personalized service and exceptional amenities that guests have come to expect for over 30 years, Seabourn offers unforgettable expeditions to some of the world’s most remote, awe- inspiring locations. Explore places few people will ever see — in a style that you’ve never imagined.
An overview of the itineraries offered on Seabourn’s expedition ship with a guest capacity of 264 in 2024:
14-day Amazon Delta & the Coast of Brazil: Manaus, Brazil to Rio de Janeiro
Dates: 21 October to 4 November 2024 on the Seabourn Venture
From $8 779 per person sharing and $15 007 for single occupancy based on a Veranda Suite V1. Attached, please find the day-by-day itinerary.
This cruise is best for guests who’d like the Amazon experience and then to enjoy time aboard the ship while at sea.
Both itineraries offer a mix of discovering local cultures in some of the ports as well as some excellent zodiac and kayak tours to more remote tributaries looking for natural history, sloths, monkeys, pink dolphins and all the bird life. The Amazon is half of each voyage and the time here will all be expedition: Zodiacs, kayaks, cultural interaction, wildlife searching and even a night-time Zodiac ride, if conditions and timing allow.
Seabourn provides a wide range of expedition activities, operated and escorted by a knowledgeable, world-class 26-person expedition team of scientists, scholars, naturalists and more.

We look forward to hearing from you and recommend a booking is made as soon as possible to secure your 1st choice of accommodation as well as the best prices, as the Amazon cruises are popular and sell out far in advance.
We have a number of choices for the Amazon, so let us know if you’d prefer something different including a smaller river cruise.
