12 Feb '28Cruise overview
Fall under the spell of the Tuamotu, Marquesas and Society Islands, three archipelagos with unique identities making up French Polynesia. The turquoise lagoons and coral reefs the Tuamotu Islands provide ideal conditions for swimming, diving and discovering the marine world, or simply making the most of preserved beaches. The Society Islands will unveil their emblematic scenery, featuring volcanic landscapes, lagoons with many shades of blue and tropical vegetation, perfect for both relaxation and exploration. The highpoint of your journey, the Marquesas Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will reveal a wilder and lesser-known Polynesia.

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.
