The Pearls of French Polynesia Cruise
Few words are more evocative of Pacific Island cruising than ‘Tahiti’ – thanks to great French painter Paul Gaugin we can immediately conjure up images of coconut palms and grass skirts. Yet Tahiti is just one of the treasures on offer.
This wonderful South Pacific archipelago is dotted with islands sculpted by sky-piercing, moss-green peaks and lined with vivid turquoise lagoons. Island-hopping in a small ship is the only way to see every landscape, from geometric ridges strung with waterfalls on the high islands to flat, desert-like atolls where lagoons far outsize the landmass. As you will discover there are many sides to the Islands of Tahiti but, as any local will tell you, they are all connected by ‘Mana’ – the life force and spirit at the very soul of French Polynesia. From the moment you arrive here, you will be embraced by it.
Embark on an intimate voyage aboard the Panorama II, a small ship accommodating just 49 passengers, ensuring personalized experiences at every turn. Explore the iconic destinations of Bora Bora, Raiatea, Moorea, Taha’a, and Huahine on a 10 or 11-night cruise.
