French Polynesia

Cruises & Ferries

These islands are surrounded by the most beautiful waters in the world. Cruising may be the most complete way to experience the best of both worlds.

Luxuriate in a comfortable suite that moves with you as you travel the islands, and visit many locations on the islands that "stationary" visitors often miss. From deluxe accommodations aboard the magnificent new m/s Paul Gauguin to your private cabin on board a 57-ft. catamaran you'll find the perfect at-sea adventure in paradise. Any way you choose you'll enjoy a new experience in travel as you glide over the beautiful blue waters of Polynesia.

Archipels Shared-Yacht Cruising
We've all dreamed of sailing vacations. But for most of us, hiring a yacht usually means rounding up a few shipmates, to share the cost. And that's never as easy as it sounds. Thankfully, someone has come up with a beautiful solution. We call it "shared-yacht" cruising. Unlike a bare-boat charter, you have an experienced crew. The yacht is shared with fellow guests, but no more than eight of you. You'll sail aboard the new, deluxe Archipels, a 57 ft. catamaran with almost 1,600 sq. ft. of usable space. The yacht's four cabins feature private facilities.

Aranui Freighter Cruise
The Aranui is the perfect seagoing adventure for the open-minded traveler ready to experience a whole new mode of travel. Setting out from Tahiti, the Aranui ventures to the remote Marquesas. Virtually unchanged since they were first viewed by the European discoverers, it is here that Gauguin lived out the last years of his life. The Aranui is the best means, outside of chartering your own boat, to see so many distant islands in such vivid detail. An unusual idea? Certainly. But a very successful one. With no advertising budget, the Aranui is often booked long in advance due to the glowing write-ups it has received in the New York Times, Grands Reportages, Paris Match, and other international press.

Haumana Cruises
This 110 foot, twin hulled cruiseship offers private yachtlike ambiance as it cruises the lagoons and islands in absolute comfort. Featuring 21 deluxe outside air conditioned cabins- each one with Mini bar, hairdryer, TV, and VCR. Spezializing in the islands of Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora, the Haumana Cruise offers 3 and 4 day speciality cruises.

We have included French Polynesia in some of our specials to the South Pacific, eg. our Kontiki Voyage and South Sea Dream Voyage. Another option is to create your own package to French Polynesia by utilizing the seperate travel components, like hotels, flights and excursions on the islands.

For a legal wedding the legal requires in French Polynesia that you remain at least 30 days in French Polynesia before the marriage. In practice this means you may only have a ceremonial wedding in French Polynesia (see also Tiki Village).
