Trip Itinerary

Day 1 - Papeete

 
Ocean Cruise

The capital and administrative center for French Polynesia is a great place to begin your South Pacific cruise. The main street, not surpisingly, runs right along the harbor. It's lined with cafes, bistros, and shops selling jewelry made from local black pearls, colorful 'pareus' (sarongs) and more.

Day 9 - Bora Bora

 
Ocean Cruise

Arrive in Bora Bora. James Michener called it the most beautiful island in the South Pacific. You may confirm his opinion, either by the local 'Le Truck' transport, 4-wheeldrive van, or in a helicopter overhead. And the offshore beauty is accessible by a glassbottomed boat or by snorkeling--with shark feeding thrown in for added spice!


Day 10 - At Sea

 
Ocean Cruise

Arrive in Taha'a Motu Mahana.


Day 11 - Moorea

 
Moorea
Ocean Cruise

Jagged peaks, magnificent bays and emerald lagoons combine with the quintessential South Seas, laid-back feeling to create the ideal island paradise -- Moorea. Pineapple plantations and thick bamboo forests cover the mountain slopes, and the air is filled with the tantalizing aromas of vanilla, papaya and coffee. Scattered amidst the beauty are marae, ancient temples that evoke an ancient, mystical culture. Moorea is the perfect place to rediscover peace and tranquillity.
