Cruise overview

Archipelagos emerge in the immensity of the South Pacific, lost between an enchanted ocean and a captivating sky. Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia… These legendary lands, shrouded in secrecy, unveil their greatest mysteries. Between crystal-clear lagoons and volcanic mountains draped in greenery, each horizon reveals a promise of pristine landscapes, vibrant traditions and timeless moments.

As you sail to the different ports of call, you will fall under the spell of the turquoise water in the lagoons in which Manta rays and other tropical fish glide around. The infinite beaches, edged with palm trees and bathed in light, offer limitless serenity. The singing and dancing in the villages recount the history of these communities, who remain guardians of an intact culture. Between the quiet waters of the Pacific, the captivating lagoon of Aitutaki and the majestic silhouettes of Moorea, each moment is bewitching.
