Starting in March 2027, the 148-passenger sailing yacht will operate the seven-night Dreams of Tahiti itinerary continuously, with weekly Monday departures.

Every voyage visits Raiatea, the island considered the ancestral homeland of the Maori people, a destination not featured on competing seven-day itineraries.

The line's other Tahiti-based vessel, the 312-passenger Star Breeze, will offer longer voyages to more remote destinations in countries like Fiji and the Cook Islands.

These can be combined into Star Collector Voyages of up to 21 days, offering cultural immersion and extended South Pacific exploration.
