Cruise French Polynesia
12 Day 11 Nights Tahiti, the Society and Tuamotu Islands
Set across the luminous waters of French Polynesia, the Tahiti, the Society and Tuamotu Islands – 12 Day Cruise offers a refined way to explore some of the South Pacific’s most captivating landscapes. Sailing roundtrip from Tahiti, this 11-night small ship journey weaves through the Society Islands and into the remote Tuamotu archipelago, revealing a striking contrast of dramatic volcanic peaks and vast, tranquil atolls.
Each destination brings its own character — from the iconic beauty of Bora Bora, where Mount Otemanu rises from a lagoon of extraordinary colour, to the lush, slower pace of Taha’a, often referred to as the Vanilla Island. Along the way, discover the charm of Moorea, Huahine and Raiatea — islands shaped by nature and rich in Polynesian culture.
Travelling by small ship allows for a more considered exploration, accessing hidden lagoons, lesser-visited shores and experiences beyond the expected — from snorkelling in crystal-clear waters to exploring archaeological sites and local plantations. This is island-hopping at its most immersive, where each day reveals a different perspective of this remarkable region.

Built in a classic yacht style, the onboard atmosphere is warm and inviting, with wood-panelled interiors, comfortable lounge spaces and generous outdoor decks. Guests can unwind in the main lounge and bar, enjoy meals in the indoor dining room, or take advantage of alfresco dining on the upper deck when weather permits. The sun deck provides ample space to relax, while the swim platform allows easy access to the water, with snorkelling equipment and kayaks available to enhance time spent at sea.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across four cabin categories, with all 25 cabins offering outside views.

Each cabin includes ensuite facilities, air-conditioning and all the essential comforts for a relaxed stay onboard.
