16 Dec '28Cruise overview
Fall under the spell of the grandiose nature and bright lifestyle of the Society Islands and the Cook Islands, during a journey into the heart of Polynesia. Huahine, Taha’a, Bora Bora, Moorea… the scattered Society Islands reveal their treasures: white sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, teeming coral reefs, pearl farms and lush pitons caressed by the clouds. Further south, the Cook Islands offer a more secretive face, marked by wild and generous nature. The Aitutaki lagoon, with its crystal-clear waters, is an invitation for swimming and letting go, while Rarotonga, a volcanic island with a lush centre, is a call to exploration, between forest-covered mountains and a spectacular underwater world. A timeless voyage into the vibrant heart of the Pacific Ocean.
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.
