13 Feb '28Cruise overview
Say goodbye to Papeete, capital of French Polynesia, as we head to the romantic shores of Moorea, a cluster of peaks wrapped in a blue lagoon; Raiatea, a magical place steeped in local mythology, and the honeymooners’ favorite, lush Bora Bora. Two leisurely days at sea, enjoying all our ship has to offer, bring us to Pago Pago, capital of American Samoa, which shelters in the lee of mountains draped in rainforest. Crossing the international date line, we arrive in the dreamy island nation of Fiji to call at the little capital of Suva and Lautoka, known for its sugarcane plantations. On we go to Port Vila in Vanuatu, to walk in the rainforest, before reaching the tropical paradise of New Caledonia, where we visit Lifou, with its gorgeous powder sands, the capital Nouméa, blending French bistros and chic shopping, and L’Île des Pins, home to a grotto created for a local queen. After two sea days, the delightful Bay of Islands in New Zealand beckons, followed by cosmopolitan Auckland. From here, we head along the east coast to Napier to see its Art Deco treasures, then Wellington, the bustling modern capital. Finally, three relaxing days at sea bring us to Melbourne, Australia, our journey’s end.
Itinerary
Papeete, Tahiti
Papeete will be your gateway to the tropical paradise of French Polynesia, where islands fringed with gorgeous beaches and turquoise ocean await to soothe the soul. This spirited city is the capital of French Polynesia, and serves as a superb base for onward exploration of Tahiti – an island of breathtaking landscapes and oceanic vistas. Wonderful lagoons of crisp, clear water beg to be snorkelled, stunning black beaches and blowholes pay tribute to the island’s volcanic heritage, and lush green mountains beckon you inland on adventures, as you explore extraordinary Tahiti. Visit to relax inside picturesque stilted huts, which stand out over shimmering water, as you settle into the intoxicating rhythm of life, in this Polynesian paradise.
