South Pacific Cruising

If you are looking for a relaxing and exotic getaway, a South Pacific cruise is an excellent option. With crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and stunning scenery, this region is a paradise for those seeking a tropical escape. Recently I was fortunate to take a cruise during my Tahiti holiday and I loved every minute of it. I had the opportunity to swim with the sharks and stingrays in Bora Bora, admire the stunning scenery of Moorea, and soak up the history and culture of Papeete.

Hot Tip: If you are looking for something different then head to the jewellery shops where you will fall in love with the Black Tahitian Pearls – some of the best quality in the world.

When not off exploring on shore excursions I was exploring and enjoying the ship. I had plenty of time to relax by the pool, feast on local cuisine, immerse myself in the entertainment and watch the world go by.
