Cruise Highlights:
Bora Bora
No name captures the imagination of paradise as well as the French Polynesian island nation of Bora Bora. Majestic mountains sculpted by ancient volcanoes, a shimmering lagoon and a barrier reef dotted with tiny motu or islets welcome visitors to perhaps the most stunning island in the South Pacific, and generations of travelers - including novelist James Michener — regarded Bora Bora as an earthly paradise. Approximately, a mere 4,600 people live a seemingly idyllic lifestyle in the main villages of Vaitape, Anau and Faanui.
Moorea
French Polynesia is made up of some 130 islands, of which Tahiti is the best known. Just 12 miles across the lagoon from Tahiti lies Moorea. To discover the Polynesia of Melville, Gauguin and Michener, you must visit Moorea. This former haunt of Tahitian royalty is a place where you will still see fishermen paddling outrigger canoes, pareo-clad women strolling along the roads and children fishing from island bridges. It is an island of steep vertiginous mountains where most of its 14,000 people live along the narrow coastal shelf, with a backdrop of lush green mountains rushing upwards to fill the sky.
Rangiroa
Divers from all over the world flock to Rangiroa, and for good reason. Its dazzling white-sand beaches and 42-mile aquamarine lagoon are filled with unique marine life and magnificent underwater scenery. Rangiroa, meaning "huge sky," is the largest atoll in French Polynesia, and one of the four largest in the world. It has more than 240 islets separated by more than 100 small channels that make up its ring of coral, and in the center of the inside lagoon is the Paio islet. Discover this long ribbon of islets located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and marvel at this remote and rarely visited coral atoll.
Papeete, Tahiti
Immortalized by Gauguin's paintings, Tahiti is much more than an island; it's a state of mind. Papeete, capital of Tahiti, is the chief port and trading center. It's also a provocateur luring people to her shores. Today the island is a charming blend of Polynesian "joie de vivre" and Gallic sophistication. But venture out from Papeete, and you'll find a landscape of rugged mountains, lush rain forests, cascading waterfalls and deserted beaches.
