Why Cruise Tahiti & French Polynesia?

Simply paradise

Rimmed by coral reefs, aquamarine lagoons and pristine beaches, the French Polynesian islands have lured those seeking paradise for centuries. Tahiti is the largest of the chain, and its capital, Papeete, is a great base from which it explore its treasures.

Luxury Cruises to Tahiti

The reality of Tahiti is as dreamy as the images the name conjures up: bottle green palm trees, plunging waterfalls, sparkling black-sand beaches, and aquamarine lagoons against a backdrop of spiky mountains. Little wonder that this island in the South Pacific is so popular with honeymooners.

During a luxury cruise to Tahiti, you’ll begin to understand how the colors, scents, and exotic allure of this beautiful island inspired creatives over the decades. Explore the dazzling underwater world, discover ancient sacred sites, head deep into the backcountry, or simply relax on a pristine beach in the tropical sunshine, succumbing to the island’s seductive charms.

Tahiti Cruise Highlights

Lagoons & reefs.

Tahiti’s warm, clear water is perfect for snorkeling and diving. A string of islets and teeming coral reefs protect shallow lagoons, where you can swim and snorkel among rays, black-tipped reef sharks, sea turtles, and dazzling reef residents, like the orange-and-white clownfish. You could see dolphins and whales, too. Join a catamaran tour for a day and jump straight off the boat into the blue-green depths, the reefs dappled by sunlight.

History & Heritage

On a Tahiti cruise, you’ll have the chance to visit one of the most sacred places in French Polynesia, Arahurahu Marae. This ancient stone structure is still in use by locals as a place for the reenactment of traditional ceremonies. You can also see Point Venus, where 18th-century explorers Captains Cook, Wallis, and Bligh made their way ashore after anchoring off the island. For a glimpse into more modern history, visit the former home of author James Norman Hall.

Lush Landscapes

Tahiti’s most obvious allure may be its beaches and lagoons, but the interior of the island is a paradise of cascading waterfalls, dense rainforest, and tropical flowers, the scent of gardenia and frangipani heavy in the air. Take a four-wheel-drive tour to the green Papenoo Valley, surrounded by mountains, and stop for a refreshing dip in the river.

Tahiti Cruise Ports

Pape'ete

Tahiti Cruise Itineraries

On a cruise to Tahiti, you’ll visit the capital of Papeete on an itinerary lasting either 17 or 18 nights. Cross the Pacific, sailing between Honolulu and Sydney, Australia, calling at exciting ports along the way including Raiatea and Moorea in French Polynesia; Maui; and Auckland, New Zealand. You’ll also have several days at sea to relax into the rhythms of life on board, enjoy the ship, and commune with the ocean.

Itineraries

Why cruise to tahiti with celebrity cruises.

Soak up the intoxicating scenery of the South Pacific on a cruise with Celebrity. When you’re not exploring ashore, there’s no shortage of delights on board, from a shimmering pool to the romantic Sunset Bar, where you can raise a glass to the end of another blissful day. 

Relax on the grass of the Lawn Club, the perfect place to read, tuck into a picnic, or challenge fellow guests to a game of croquet. Choose The Retreat for the ultimate in luxurious travel, with all-suite accommodation, an exclusive private lounge, and dining in the chic Luminae at The Retreat.

Variety Cruises Announces New Tahiti Cruises for 2023

Variety Cruises has announced that they will launch two new cruises in Tahiti, marking the first time the company has ever operated there. The seven and ten-night cruises will set sail from Papeete Port in Tahiti with itineraries that include stops in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. The ship will have an intimate and private atmosphere, with a maximum capacity of just 49 passengers. The first cruise company to do so, Variety Cruises has also made headlines by adding a stop in Makatea to its itineraries. 

“There is something about magical civilizations that has always intrigued me,” said the company’s CEO Filippos Venetopoulos. “Being Greek, of course this is something I grew up with, being surrounded by the wisdom of the ancient philosophers. French Polynesia also envelops my soul. Much like how Greece can capture you, these islands seem to give you something you never knew you needed. I couldn’t be more thrilled to share that with the world, and thus, create, a better life at sea, one cruise at a time.”

Cruising to Tahiti 

Locals of the Tahitian Islands heavily embrace the concept of Mana , a life force and spirit that surrounds us. Visitors are encouraged to quickly embrace this concept upon arrival to best partake in the culture of the locals. Guests are encourage to island hop while in Tahiti, giving voyagers the opportunity to see all different types of landscapes, waterfalls on the high islands and the desert-like atolls where lagoons can even outsize the landmass. 

“The Islands of Tahiti is pleased to offer a warm welcome (maeva) to Variety Cruises as they launch their new voyages this coming year,” said Kristin Carlson, managing director for Tahiti Tourisme North America. “We look forward to travelers coming to the destination to experience the Mana, or spirit of the islands, aboard their intimate yachts, perfectly suited for exploring our paradise.”

Guests will set sail on Panorama II, a 50-meter, two-masted motorsailer with a maximum capacity of just 49 guests for both of the company’s newest cruises. The vessel features 25 passenger cabins, inviting dining areas, a sunbathing deck and an outdoor bar. Variety Cruises highlights the benefits of traveling on a small boat with fewer people, including having access to smaller private beaches and secluded locations that larger cruise ships do not. 

The seven-night cruise, Tahiti & the Pearls of French Polynesia, will make stops in Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Moorea. The cruise will launch next year on February 3, 2023 with rates from $2,490 USD per person, based on double occupancy, excluding port charges. The cruise will feature a few rare excursions for guests to choose from including a visit at the UNESCO protected site of ancient Marae (an open-air temple) of Taputapuatea, a snorkeling excursion where guests can swim with stingrays and sharks, an opportunity to feed the sacred blue-eyed eels of Faie Bay and various lagoon adventures. 

Variety Cruises 10-night cruise, Tahiti, the Society & Tuamotu islands, will give guests a bit more time to discover the beauty of the Tuamotu islands. This cruise will take passengers through the same route or the seven-night cruise, but will add stops in the rarely visited Makatea, Rangiroa, Tetiaroa and Mo’orea. The company expects that the stop in the island of Makatea, described as a uniquely raised island of coral in French Polynesia, will quickly become a guest favorite. 

Exploring Makatea

Makatea is home to limestone cliffs that tower over the coast, various species of endemic birds and limestone holes. Limestone holes are integral to Makatea’s history. In the early 20th century, phosphate reserves were found in the limestone holes on the island, and for over 50 years, the island was a center of a successful phosphate mining business. However, in the 1960s, the mining stopped and the island went from a population of thousands of inhabitants to just a few hundred. Today, Makatea is home to three species or endemic birds: the Makatea fruit dove, the imperial pigeon, and the reed warbler.

RELATED: A QUEST ON VARIETY CRUISES’  GALILEO

A few activities offered on this ten-night cruise include: a visit to a beach with rock pools and a grotto, an opportunity to swim deep inside a grotto into an underwater cave system that leads guests to a watery cathedral. Among some of the highlights of swimming through Makatea’s Vaimarui cave, guests can see the popular hanging elephant leg-shaped stalactite, which is accessible to all guests eager to jump in the clear water. The legend of the elephant leg- shaped stalactite claims that it brings happiness to all those who touch it. 

This 10-night itinerary will run from January 13, 2023 through December 2023, with rates starting at $3,190 USD per person based on double occupancy, excluding port charges.

Offers and booking instructions:

* Cruise fares mentioned exclude shore excursions and port charges which are at $275 USD and $360 USD respectively for these cruises.

Luxury Cruises to Tahiti

The reality of Tahiti is as dreamy as the images the name conjures up: bottle green palm trees, plunging waterfalls, sparkling black-sand beaches, and aquamarine lagoons against a backdrop of spiky mountains. Little wonder that this island in the South Pacific is so popular with honeymooners.

During a luxury cruise to Tahiti, you’ll begin to understand how the colors, scents, and exotic allure of this beautiful island inspired creatives over the decades. Explore the dazzling underwater world, discover ancient sacred sites, head deep into the backcountry, or simply relax on a pristine beach in the tropical sunshine, succumbing to the island’s seductive charms.

Tahiti Cruise Highlights

Lagoons & reefs.

Tahiti’s warm, clear water is perfect for snorkeling and diving. A string of islets and teeming coral reefs protect shallow lagoons, where you can swim and snorkel among rays, black-tipped reef sharks, sea turtles, and dazzling reef residents, like the orange-and-white clownfish. You could see dolphins and whales, too. Join a catamaran tour for a day and jump straight off the boat into the blue-green depths, the reefs dappled by sunlight.

History & Heritage

On a Tahiti cruise, you’ll have the chance to visit one of the most sacred places in French Polynesia, Arahurahu Marae. This ancient stone structure is still in use by locals as a place for the reenactment of traditional ceremonies. You can also see Point Venus, where 18th-century explorers Captains Cook, Wallis, and Bligh made their way ashore after anchoring off the island. For a glimpse into more modern history, visit the former home of author James Norman Hall.

Lush Landscapes

Tahiti’s most obvious allure may be its beaches and lagoons, but the interior of the island is a paradise of cascading waterfalls, dense rainforest, and tropical flowers, the scent of gardenia and frangipani heavy in the air. Take a four-wheel-drive tour to the green Papenoo Valley, surrounded by mountains, and stop for a refreshing dip in the river.

Tahiti Cruise Ports

Pape'ete

Tahiti Cruise Itineraries

On a cruise to Tahiti, you’ll visit the capital of Papeete on an itinerary lasting either 17 or 18 nights. Cross the Pacific, sailing between Honolulu and Sydney, Australia, calling at exciting ports along the way including Raiatea and Moorea in French Polynesia; Maui; and Auckland, New Zealand. You’ll also have several days at sea to relax into the rhythms of life on board, enjoy the ship, and commune with the ocean.

Viking Files for IPO

• April 5, 2024

Viking has officially filed for its IPO with the United States Securities and Exchanges Commission.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, nearly 650,000 guests traveled with the company and it generated total revenue of $4,710.5 million, a net loss of $1,858.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1,090.3 million.

As of December 31, 2023, the company had $1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $5.4 billion of Total Debt. It also said it had generated industry-leading ROIC of 27.5% for the year ended December 31, 2023, up from 26.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The company said occupancy was 93.7 percent in 2023, up from 78.4 percent in 2022.

“Our payback period for a Longship is on average approximately four to five years based on contributions to operations by a Longship. Our payback period for an ocean ship is on average about five to six years based on contributions to operations by an ocean ship,” the company stated.

“Viking will be the only pure-play luxury public cruise line. In contrast, the large public cruise lines have multiple brands that serve all three categories of the cruise market, with luxury representing only a small percentage of their overall capacity. Our total revenue per passenger was $7,251 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Viking defines the luxury category of the river cruise and ocean cruise markets. We believe these are the most attractive segments of the cruise industry and the global luxury leisure travel market given their growth potential,” Viking said in its filing.
