The West Hollywood event also celebrated the start of Windstar’s year-round weekly voyages in the South Pacific, which began June 5 aboard Wind Spirit.
The 148-passenger ship recently completed a 17-day drydock in Panama, where its 73 staterooms were completely updated. The new rooms include a transformed seating area, new cabinetry and a more open layout. Other work included new teak decking, updated public bathrooms and new pool furniture.
The upgrades follow Windstar’s $18m fleetwide renovation project begun in 2012.
Hosting the West Hollywood event were Windstar ceo Hans Birkholz; Steve Simao, vp travel agency sales; and representatives from Air Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Tourisme.
The evening mirrored a Windstar Private Event on Bora Bora, with guests treated to cocktails such as the Windward Breeze (vodka, Kifer lime and coconut, served in a cracked coconut), passed bites such as soft shell crab buns with pickled carrot, daikon and spiced mayo, and a traditional Tahiti dance performance.
Birkholz gave away a cruise for two to Tahiti.
