South Pacific Islands

This trip is going to be different than taking over the entire boat like in Amsterdam & Croatia.

Due to wanting a more stable ship, to mitigate motion sickness, we are reserving cabins on a larger ship owned by the Windstar line. This ship is way smaller than a typical Royal Caribbean ship as it only holds around 300 people. This allows it to port at much smaller islands.

A nice perk of our Ship, the Star Breeze, is every cabin on board is a suite with single or dual beds and sitting area. It was recently renovated in 2020

The club is going to take care of airfare and hotel accommodations around the cruise, while asking members to fill out specific paperwork to reserve their cabin of choice abord ship. You will want to follow our instructions to get a discount and all the extra services we will get as a larger group.

Ibex members will get 10% off listed prices and will also be getting a bunch of nice extras such as possible cocktail parties and/or excursions TBD. As we get closer to the trip date, we will be able to negotiate as many goodies as possible for all our Ibex’ians.

Sign up steps:

  • View the deck plan and cabin pricing using the buttons below.  Be sure to look carefully at the deck plan legend for all the symbols.  Some cabins only have a queen size bed.
  • Fill out the cabin request form below & send to our trip provider (further details can be found in the newsletter or once you click the Online Sign-up button below).  Do not book directly with Windstar.
  • You will call and give our trip provider your credit card information so he can book you as part of our group.
  • You will need to pay a 15% cabin deposit to our trip provider (not Windstar). You have until next April to make your final payment.
  • Once your cabin is confirmed, you will sign up on our Skiibex.com website so we can be sure to include you in all the preparations.
  • If you want to go on the trip but do not have a roommate, you can either book a cabin for yourself (full cabin deposit required) and find a roommate later  or find a roommate first, then book the cabin. We’ve created a spreadsheet to track who has already booked a cabin and/or anyone wanting to go on the trip but needs to find a roommate. You don’t need to book a cabin to add yourself to the list – the list should help you identify a potential roommate, and we can also help you out.
  • There will be a minor deposit of $ 50.00 to start with for Ibex.
  • The full amount of the flights, hotel, and payment schedule will be posted as we get the information.

Recommended

Due to the popularity of French Polynesia if you are interested, book your cabins NOW! The ship cabins are already getting booked and the least expensive cabins are all disappearing! 

This is why we are offering this trip out prior to the trip sign-up part on July 17th.
