Windstar Cruises partners with Coral Gardeners in Tahiti
Small ship cruise line Windstar Cruises has partnered with the Coral Gardeners, a Mo’orea-based organisation in French Polynesia
Coral Gardeners helps save the coral reefs through reef restoration, awareness activities and innovative solutions.
It works to grow, plant and monitor thousands of heat-resilient corals with the goal of bringing life back to the ocean.
The three-year partnership begins this month with Windstar’s $35,000 donation to Coral Gardeners to adopt coral for all guests sailing with Windstar in French Polynesia for the remainder of 2022.
Guests on 2022 sailings will receive a small card in their guest room, alerting them to the adoption of coral in their name.
In 2023 and 2024, each guest booked on a Windstar cruise in French Polynesia will be presented with the option to adopt a coral for a donation of $35 per person.
Unique coral adoption cards for those participating will be placed in their guest room on board.
2022 is Windstar’s 35th anniversary of sailing in Tahiti/French Polynesia – the longest of any operator in the region and the only destination where the cruise line sails year-round,
Windstar has been celebrating its 35th season throughout the month with special events both onboard and ashore.
“This new partnership is a wonderful way for us to celebrate Tahiti during our 35th anniversary season, but more importantly to make a positive impact,” said Windstar President Christopher Prelog.
