Embark on your own journey to find romance in Tahiti with new air + hotel + cruise packages that immerse couples in the magic of Tahiti, blending adventure and relaxation for an unforgettable romantic escape.

As Joan Vassos and her final three men stepped aboard Air Tahiti Nui, they were greeted by the warmth and beauty of the Polynesian islands. Windstar Cruises' 312-guest Star Breeze served as home to Joan Vassos as she explored the Islands of Tahiti with her final dates on Moorea with a private catamaran tour, an ATV ride into the jungle and finally, a Tahitian bonding ceremony. With Joan's dates taking place at the Hilton Conrad Bora Bora Nui and Intercontinental Bora Bora Resort &Thalasso Spa hotels, viewers can see the beauty of these properties included in Windstar's new cruise packages.

For those dreaming of their own second honeymoon, or any excuse to toast love and connection, Windstar Cruises, Air Tahiti Nui, and Tahiti Tourisme have partnered to create three new packages that make romance a breeze.

The Islands of Tahiti have long been a top choice for romantic vacations, thanks to their stunning tropical beaches, turquoise waters, and intimate, serene ambiance. Beyond the scenery, Tahiti offers a rich Polynesian culture that's deeply rooted in traditions. Travelers can dive into Tahitian culture through experiences that connect them with history and the daily lives of local people.

Discover Tahiti's heritage by visiting ancient marae temples and learning the symbolism behind traditional tattoo art.  Round out your journey with hikes through lush landscapes, offering a blend of nature and culture that captures the true spirit of this topical paradise.

Overwater bungalows are a coveted experience in the islands and viewers of "The Golden Bachelorette" saw these as homes for Joan's men in the show's final episodes.
