Tahiti Cruises in French Polynesia

Home » Experiences » Cruising in The Islands of Tahiti  

Published on 25 August 2023

Reading time: 4 min.

Embark on a cruise ship, and sail from island to island in the warm blue waters of French Polynesia . Visit some charming, less-frequented ports of call, as well as many of the more famous islands, such as Bora Bora and Moorea . Every morning you’ll be waking up in a different island paradise, and evey day will be another unforgettable experience.

An island hopping cruise is a marvelous way to explore The Islands of Tahiti . You sail into the turquoise waters of a lagoon, before going ashore to discover the archeological and geographic wonders and enjoying the different excursions and nautical activities proposed by the local population. Then as night falls, you weigh anchor and set sail for the next island paradise. Cruise companies in Tahiti offer a choice of itineraries, all of which sail out of Papeete . The Aranui and the Paul Gauguin are two exceptional cruise ships operating in the waters of French Polynesia. The Aranui is a cargo ferry which serves the mystical Marquesas Islands , taking passengers and freight to the ‘Land of Men’. It offers a unique insight into life on these remote, isolated islands. The Paul Gauguin has a seven night, luxury cruise to the Society Islands , and a fourteen night cruise that also includes the Marquesas and Tuamotu Islands .

Unique and authentic cruises

Embarking on the Aranui is the beginning of an adventure that will take you far off the beaten track. This cargo ferry will take you to some of the most remote islands in the ‘Land of Men’, as the Marquesas Islands are known. The ship is a lifeline that connects the islanders to the outside world, delivering every type of merchandise you can imagine. The atmosphere on board is warm and friendly, with a mostly Marquesan crew. The panorama from the top deck is simply magnificent, especially when the Marquesas Islands first come into view.

Comfortable rooms © Tahiti Tourisme

The Paul Gauguin is a cruise ship that belongs to the Ponant cruise company. The ship was specially designed for navigating in the waters of French Polynesia, and its shallow draught gives it access to lagoons in The Islands of Tahiti that are inaccessible for most of the bigger cruise ships. The truly luxurious interior decoration is matched by the first class service from the mainly Polynesian crew. The Paul Gauguin has 165 cabins, including a number of sumptuous suites and luxury suites. The Aranui has 103 cabins. There are several other cruise companies that have recently added The Islands of Tahiti to their schedules, notably the Windstar, Oceania Cruises and Variety Cruises. All of these cruise ships sail out of Papeete.

A floating vacation in French Polynesia

Sailing through the waters of French Polynesia on a cruise ship, sailboat or catamaran, is a truly authentic way to discover The Islands of Tahiti . It is exactly how the first Polynesians explored them, navigating from one island to the next, about two thousand years ago.

Croisière à bord du Paul Gauguin © Tahiti Tourisme

If you aren’t on a cruise vacation, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the beautiful lagoons of The Islands of Tahiti . You can take a boat excursion and visit some of the motu ; go sailing on a traditional outrigger sailing canoe ; rent a small catamaran or sailboat; paddle across the lagoon on a kayak or a paddleboard. And of course, you can always enjoy swimming and snorkeling in the beautiful warm, turquoise water.

Complete guide to sailing from Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia

Andrea M. Rotondo

Admit it. You've dreamed of jetting off to Tahiti to trade in everyday life for a luxury cruise around French Polynesia. You've dreamed of visiting Bora Bora, the home of the overwater bungalow, and you've heard tales of the wonderful food trucks in and around Papeete that serve incredible local delicacies. You want to go pearl shopping in Taha'a and climb Belvedere Lookoutin Moorea. A variety of cruise lines can help you achieve all of those dreams from the Tahiti cruise terminal.

Being the only international commercial port in French Polynesia, Port Autonome de Papeete on Tahiti accommodates a wide range of vessels, from cruise ships to cargo freighters to luxury yachts. It's also the largest cruise port in the French overseas territory and serves about 2 million cruisers annually (pre-pandemic).

In addition to multi-night cruises, Papeete port is also the embarkation point for regular ferries to Moorea and Bora Bora.

Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the region is welcoming international visitors. Here's everything you need to know about French Polynesia's reopening .

Port Autonome de Papeete BP 9164 Motu Uta Papeete, Tahiti 98714 French Polynesia

Tip: If you're traveling to Papeete from the United States, you'll fly from Los Angeles, San Francisco or Honolulu. The mainland's flight duration is about eight hours, while it's about a six-hour trip from Hawaii. Those are long-haul flights and -- especially if you started from the East Coast -- you'll be tired when you land. Be sure to arrive a few days before your cruise embarks so you can enjoy a hotel and get over your jet lag .

Who sails from Papeete?

tahiti cruises from papeete

Two cruise ships -- Paul Gauguin Cruises Paul Gauguin and Winstar Cruises' four-masted luxury motor-sail-yacht Wind Spirit -- homeport out of Papeete. Typically, these ships offer seven-night or longer itineraries to neighboring islands in French Polynesia and beyond.

Paul Gauguin Cruises (owned by Ponant) specializes in French Polynesia cruises. It's all the line offers. Its voyages explore the Society and Cook islands as well as the Marquesas and Tuamotus. The 332-passenger Paul Gauguin also sails to Fiji and Tonga and sometimes calls on Melanesia and Indonesia's ports.

The seven-night Tahiti and Society Islands itinerary sails round-trip out of Papeete and calls on Huahine, Taha'a and the private Motu Mahana as well as overnights in Bora Bora, Moorea and Papeete.

Windstar's Wind Spirit is the epitome of small-ship cruising, with just 148 passengers per sailing. Its most popular French Poly itinerary is its seven-night round-trip cruise out of Tahiti that calls on Moorea, an overnight in Raiatea, Taha'a and the private Motu Mahana, an overnight in Bora Bora and a day in Huahine.

tahiti cruises from papeete

In 2022, Windstar's Star Breeze yacht will also sail more than a dozen seven-, 10-, 11- and 18-night voyages from Papeete.

Aranui 5, a mixed cargo (passenger/freight) ship, also homeports in Tahiti and takes passengers from Papeete to the Marquesas archipelago, Tuamotu Islands and Bora Bora in the Society Islands.

Ferries are also available at the Tahiti cruise port and they regularly carry passengers to neighboring Moorea and Bora Bora.

Despite the few ships that homeport here, Papeete can get busy, as it is a port of call for ships of many cruise lines. In 2022, for example, the following lines plan to call on Tahiti: Carnival, Cunard, Holland America, MSC Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Princess, Royal Caribbean Seabourn and Silversea.

Nearest airport

Faa'a international airport (ppt).

tahiti cruises from papeete

Cruise line transfers

As Paul Gauguin cruises are all-inclusive, prices already include a flight from LAX to Tahiti on Air Tahiti Nui round-trip airport/pier transfers. (Note: If you prefer to book your own flights, ask for the cruise-only fare.)

If you booked your cruise with Windstar Cruises, ask about buying transportation from the airport or hotel to the port unless you booked your pre-cruise hotel through Windstar Easy Stays, which takes care of your transfers to and from the ship terminal.

If you're sailing on Aranui 5, you can arrange to get to the port via taxi.

Hotel shuttles

Paul Gauguin's Extend Your Trip program includes a pre-/post-cruise hotel stay as well as transfers from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the cruise port. Aside from that and Windstar's Easy Stays program, you're hard-pressed to find hotels offering shuttle service to the pier unless you're willing to pay for private or group transfers.

Car rentals

tahiti cruises from papeete

If you like to explore on your own, you can rent a car, SUV or scooter on Tahiti from a local agency like Ecocar Ecoscoot Tahiti Aeroport .

Daily rental rate starts from around $40 for an "economic" car, such as the Fiat Panda, which seats four people. Rate includes insurance, unlimited mileage, an infant or child seat and even free delivery during limited hours (subject to availability).

Independent van and car services

It's also possible to book a private car or van for your transportation needs on Tahiti. Marama Transports Touristiques is a good choice since its vehicles can accommodate groups of eight or more. Its fleet consists of Hyundai and Mercedes minivans, Porsche SUVs, Land Rover 4WD vehicles, Mazda 4x4s and Chrysler 300 sedans.

Taxi and ride-hailing services

If you're not traveling by rental car or van in Papeete, your best alternative would be a taxi; ride-hailing services aren't available here yet. What's good about taxis in Tahiti, and even in neighboring Moorea, is that the rates are regulated (warning: PDF link) by the government, so you'll know what the trip should cost before you even get into the taxi.

Taxis charge a minimum of 1,000 XPF (about $10) any time of day. The per kilometer price during the day (6 a.m. to 8 p.m.) is 130 XPF (about $1.50); at night (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.), it's 230 XPF (around $2.50).

Additional charges may apply for luggage, uphill rides and long waiting times.

Public transportation

tahiti cruises from papeete

Tahiti has a bus service called "Le truck." It operates on a regular schedule on a route that mainly follows the coastline. Buses operate from Mondays to Saturdays only, so if you arrive on a Sunday or during public holidays, you'll have to arrange alternate transport in advance.

With a mostly local clientele, the buses only take CFP francs, so make sure to have enough cash to pay for your fare beforehand.

Where to stay

With Tahiti's interior being a mountainous paradise, tourists should seek accommodations along the coastline. You'll find hotels from Mahina to Pa'ae, but most congregate in and around Papeete's downtown area, which is conveniently near the cruise port.

One hotel, the InterContinental Resort Tahiti, even offers airport views for you AvGeeks !

Note that many Tahiti hotels are bookable via cash or Ultimate Rewards points via the Chase travel portal .

Where to shop near the port

The cruise port in Motu Uta doesn't have any shops on its premises, so you'll have to visit nearby establishments. Fortunately, there are many shops close by.

Marche de Papeete (Papeete Market)

tahiti cruises from papeete

Just a stone's throw away from the waterfront stands Marche de Papeete (BP4588, Papeete), the local public market that has been selling an assortment of local Tahitian products and produce for more than 150 years. Also serving as a cultural center of sorts, the Papeete Market provides an inside look into the Polynesian islands within its two levels.

On the ground floor, vendors sell fresh fruits, local vegetables and flowers, handcrafted items and more. Be on the lookout for vanilla beans, black pearls and monoi products (soaps, shampoos, creams and oils), which are made from a mixture of gardenia tahitensis and Nucifera coconut oils. If you arrive around 4 p.m., you should spot some colorful fish being brought in from fishing boats.

The second floor is reserved for artisans selling tifaifai wall hangings or quilts, pareos, carvings, embroidered items and other handicrafts. There are also vendors hawking their products, such as leis and Tiare Tahiti flower crowns, outside the market.

If you're feeling hungry, an on-site cafeteria serves local dishes. Early Sunday mornings are a great time to grab breakfast here. That could include some coconut-flavored donuts called firi firi , pua'a roti (roasted pork) and chao pao , which are stuffed steamed buns.

The Papeete Market is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and until 9 a.m. on Sundays, which can get a bit busy as Tahitian families drop by the market to shop ingredients for their Sunday feast.

Vaima Shopping Center

Vaima Shopping Center on Avenue du Marechal Foch, about 2 miles away, is a Tahitian mall where you can find various goods (including pearls) and services at reasonable prices. (You can see the mall from the cruise terminal and it's about a 30-minute walk.) The mall also features Le Kiosk Tahiti (Papeete 98714), which sells atlases, stamps, tourist maps and souvenir cards.

A little further away but still within a 10-minute drive is Champion at Rue du General de Gaulle , behind the Temple Protestant de Paofai. The Champion Supermarket sells fresh pastries if you're feeling peckish, as well as spices and other products; plus, it has longer operating hours -- until 7:30 p.m. Also, there are three Carrefour supermarkets in Tahiti: Carrefour Arue, Carrefour Faa'a - Pacific Plaza and Oasis Carrefour Arue.

Where to Tahitian buy pearls

If you're on the hunt for pearls, try Tahia Exquisite Pearls at Boulevard de la Reine Pomare IV (about 1.5 miles from the cruise port). The store features jewelry adorned with Tahitian pearls, 18-karat gold and pave diamonds. The Tahiti Pearl Market (Rue Colette, BP3396 PPT, Papeete), about 1.5 miles from the port, is another good spot to find some pearls. The family-owned establishment allows you to pick your pearls and the design you want, with the final product available within a few hours.

Nearby drugstores

For any drugstore-related purchases, you can head to Pharmacie du port (1 Rue Paul Gauguin), Pharmacie Prince Hinoi Papeete (Avenue Prince Hinoi Papeete) and Pharmacie Fariipiti (Papeete 98714). All are within 2 miles of the port.

Where to eat

Tahiti's cuisine highlights the fresh seafood and produce that are abundant on the island. Fish, such as mahi mahi, tuna and grouper, are mainstays in restaurant menus. In addition, Tahitian cuisine also features French and Asian influences.

One of Tahiti's top restaurants is Le Lotus at the InterContinental Tahiti Resort, 6 miles from the cruise port. Set in an over-the-water building, Le Lotus serves French and Polynesian cuisine, featuring freshly caught seafood (catch of the day), meat dishes and a selection of French wines. The romantic ambiance, one filled with candlelight, live piano music and spectacular sunset views, is perfect for a night out -- especially if you've got something to celebrate.

Another restaurant that combines good food with an amazing sunset view is O Belvedere . From its perch some 2,000 feet above Papeete, take in the city's sunset views below and even Moorea beyond. The restaurant has a treehouse ambiance, with its outdoor terrace even built around a tree trunk. A "must-order" is the house specialty: fondue Bourguignonne served with six sauces. With its location in Pira'e about 4 miles from the port, it's nice that the restaurant provides round-trip transportation from hotels and back, or to the airport if you have a flight to catch.

You don't need to go far to eat good food, though. Come evening, head to Place Vai'ete (369 Boulevard de la Reine Pomare IV), a portside plaza about 2 miles from the port, to take part in perhaps the most popular ritual of Papeete: roulettes or food trucks . At 6 p.m., colorful food trucks start rolling in and, within a few minutes, vendors start whipping up big portions of dishes from fresh ingredients for the crowds, locals and tourists alike, which have started to gather.

tahiti cruises from papeete

You'll find all sorts of food here at affordable prices, from fresh Polynesian fish dishes to French classics, as well as pizza and burgers, Thai curries and Chinese stir-fries, such as "chao mein." Must-tries include the poisson cru , a Tahitian specialty of fresh raw fish with coconut milk and cold vegetables similar to poke or ceviche; brochettes or kebabs; and steak frites and poulet frites—charbroiled steak and chicken, respectively— with french fries. If you're not here for a meal, grab a crepe or waffle and enjoy the sunset.

To order, simply go up to the truck and once your food is ready, take it to one of the plastic tables. Don't forget to bring cash (the local currency is Pacific Francs), as the roulettes don't accept credit cards.

Sights to see

While a known honeymoon destination, Tahiti's sights and attractions also welcome the entire family. Cruise passengers passing through the island have plenty of options, from shopping and dining to sightseeing and outdoor activities. Here's what we recommend.

Point Venus (lighthouse and beach)

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Tahiti, Point Venus wasn't named after the Roman goddess but after a historic event that transpired in 1769, when Captain James Cook and the rest of the crew of Bounty observed the transit of the planet Venus — a once-in-a-century happening — from the site.

However, the lighthouse, Phare de la Pointe Venus, wasn't built until about a hundred years later and remains to be Tahiti's sole lighthouse. It stands several feet away from Pointe Venus Beach, whose black sand is a popular setting for picnics. If you'd like to have a memento of your visit, take a look at the on-site souvenir shop, and grab a bite to eat at the snack bar if you're feeling peckish. Point Venus is at the northernmost part of the island, more than 8 miles from the cruise port.

Faarumai Waterfall

A hiking and sightseeing trip in one, the journey to Faarumai Waterfall takes you through the village of Tiare on Tahiti's north coast. Roughly 15 miles from the cruise port, Faarumai Waterfall actually consists of three cascades (Faarumai Waterfall is also known as The Three Cascades).

To see the first one, Vaimahutu, you'll have to hike through a mape (a type of chestnut) forest for about 325 feet. The second and third falls, Haamarere It and Haamarere Rahi, respectively, are almost side by side and can be accessed after a 20-minute walk. Parking and admission are free. However, swimming is prohibited so just enjoy the view. Don't forget to bring insect repellent to avoid stinging mosquito bites.

There are many lovely gardens to explore when on the island, including:

Water Gardens Vaipahi

tahiti cruises from papeete

Perhaps the best place to enjoy the island's tropical flora is at the Water Gardens of Vaipahi (Teva I Uta), along the southern coast of Mataiea, roughly 30 miles from the cruise port. The garden features more than 75 tropical plant species, including exotic flowers, from around the world, as well as winding streams, springs, pools, waterfalls and a lily pad. The plants are marked with signs in both English and French.

This tranquil place is also sacred to Tahiti's Great Teva clan, who believe their deceased souls must be purified by the waters of Vaipahi. The well-maintained and quiet environment is a good place to meditate or simply relax amid nature. A walk along one of its three paths, ranging from a 1.2 mile/one-hour walk to a 3.1 mile/two-hour walk, will be invigorating. Admission is free and there is parking available on site.

Paofai Gardens

If you'd rather stay close to Papeete and the cruise port, head out to Paofai Gardens instead. It's by the boulevard, so there will still be traffic noises, but it's a peaceful enough place for a stroll along the waterfront. There are paved walking paths, and the area features planter boxes with some blooms and several trees. Along the shore, you might find some pirogues (outrigger canoes), and if you're timing is right, i.e., afternoons and Sunday mornings, you might catch local teams practicing racing on them.

There are also some very interesting museums on Tahiti.

Museum of Tahiti and The Islands

If you want to learn more about Tahiti and French Polynesia, in general, the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands (Musee de Tahiti et des Iles) in Puna'auia is a good place to do so. Here, concise and easy-to-understand exhibits explore Tahiti's geography and natural history, its pre-European culture, the effects of colonization and its natural wonders. There are displays in English, too. Must-sees include its collection of ritual items, canoes, tattooing equipment and statues of wood or stone depicting various divinities called tiki.

After you visit the museum, step outside to observe surfers on the water or Moorea beyond. Or, peruse the gift shop, which other visitors said was excellent.

Robert Wan Pearl Museum

Pearl pioneer Robert Wan's Pearl Museum (56 Avenue du Commandant Destremau, Papeete 98713) isn't only a place to learn about pearls. Here, you can buy them too.

The museum features myriad treasures, such as a copy of the rosary beads with 57 pearls that were presented to Pope John Paul II in 1987 and Charles II of France's pearl-encrusted prayer book. Meanwhile, the retail section offers jewelry, single pearls and, of course, Tahitian black pearls of the highest quality and original designs. It also sells skin products with extracts of nacre, the mother-of-pearl shell. The museum provides free tours for groups of two or more. Let them know of your visit at least five days in advance.

Bottom line

With a paradise island setting, Tahiti is the perfect place to relax and unwind, albeit for just a little bit. Cruisers who stopover here may want to stay closer to Papeete due to time constraints, but those who'd like to extend their stay will have the rest of the island to explore. And, for the uninitiated, Tahiti is a great place to learn more about Polynesian culture.

Tahiti island

Aranui

Our cruises departing from tahiti

Tahiti , the starting point of all Aranui cruises, is a high mountainous island created from an extinct volcano. The impressive caldera that forms the centre of the island bears witness to this ancient volcanic activity. Tahiti is home to the capital of French Polynesia , Papeetē, as well as the Tahiti-Fa’a’a International Airport and is both a place to stopover but also to explore a range of places.

Papeete : The port of departure and return of the Aranui

Tahiti is the most populated island in Polynesia: out of more than 260,000 inhabitants, nearly 180,000 live on the island of Tahiti . It is also one of the most modern and well-equipped islands in the region, especially in its capital, Papeete where you will find shopping malls, cinemas, department stores, art galleries, a central hospital, and numerous restaurants. All Aranui cruises leave and return from the port of Papeete (see map below) and our passengers can have time to visit the island of Tahiti before or after their cruise.

tahiti cruises from papeete

Tahiti : A generous nature, black sand beaches and wild valleys suitable for hiking

Outside of Papeetē is the best place to discover the original and exotic island and its natural charm. From diving and hiking to rivers and waterfalls, or its legendary historical sites, and museums, all are on offer to visitors in search of authentic Tahiti. Just take a tour of the island to discover this for yourself. See the beautiful black sand beaches. Some are peaceful whilst others, such as Teahupoo, are popular surfing spots and a place where amateurs can join various activities or merely stand back and watch. The deep valleys and high mountains are the location for various legendary archaeological sites of ancient Polynesia and the population is very mixed with a genuinely warm sense of welcome and hospitality.

The island of Tahiti has a tropical climate with two main seasons: a hot and humid one from November to May and a cool and dry one from May to November. The pleasing result of this varied climate creates lush year-round flora and countless fragrant flowers as well as a comfortable habitat for a rich variety of nature.

I have been on other small ship cruises (from Dubrovnik 28, Alaska 50 and even a Danube cruise about 120).

I have found other solos or groups of friends travelling together have been very welcoming. I have been hesitant to join groups for meals but sometimes have been happy when they have called me over to their table and made room for me.

Ten of the best small-ship cruises

Not a fan of mega-ships our cruise expert has picked the best boutique sailings to keep things exclusive and adventurous.

Nassau, Bahamas

T here’s something special about small-ship cruising. You’ll feel a deeper connection to the sea, and there’s a certain pleasure from being docked in chic little ports among the superyachts or anchored in a remote bay far from the crowds. Of course, there won’t be Broadway shows and a choice of restaurants, but simplicity is all part of the appeal. Here are ten of the best small-ship cruises for this year and next.

1. Authentic Caribbean

Le Ponant sailing yacht

Explore some of the tiniest islands in the Caribbean on Ponant’s smallest ship: the swish, recently refurbished sailing yacht Le Ponant, which carries just 32 passengers. Sail from Marigot on St Martin to Prickly Pear Cays on Anguilla, St Barts, Nevis, Falmouth Bay on Antigua, Barbuda and the chic Îles des Saintes in Guadeloupe — in other words some of the most seductive islands in the region. On board you can expect the fine dining and service that comes from the ship’s partnership with Relais & Châteaux. Details Seven nights’ all-inclusive from £5,550pp, including excursions, departing on March 8, 2025 (uk.ponant.com). Fly to St Maarten and back from Guadeloupe

2. Croatia under sail

Kairos

Explore Croatia in detail on the classic schooner Kairos, which sails out of medieval Trogir to Vis, Hvar and Korcula, as well as lesser-known islands and anchorages, depending on wind speed and direction. With just 16 passengers and seven crew on board, this is small-ship luxury at its best — and you don’t have to help to sail the boat unless you want to do so. When you’re at anchor, jump straight into the warm Adriatic. Evenings are spent either in lively towns or anchored in remote bays. Details Seven nights’ full board from £3,025pp, departing on August 10 (venturesailholidays.com). Fly to Split

3. Butlers in the Bahamas

The Bahamas

This 12-night cruise zigzags from New York to Bermuda for an overnight stay, through the Bahamian islands of San Salvador, Exuma and Honeymoon Harbour on tiny Gun Cay, then on to Miami before ending back in Nassau. Expect luxury all the way, with a butler service, an open bar and helicopter trips, plus a submarine and water toys to play on when the ship’s marina platform is down, which is often. Scenic Eclipse carries just 228 passengers, with the vibe of a swish private yacht in its glossy lounges and smart, high-ceilinged cabins. Details Twelve nights’ all-inclusive from £6,914pp, including flights, private transfers, tips, wi-fi and excursions, departing on October 12 (scenic.co.uk)

4. turkey as you please.

Salamander

Muster a group of 12 and you can charter a gulet for a blissful week exploring the Turquoise Coast of Turkey. Sailing from Bodrum, you’ll travel on the gleaming wooden Salamander, which comes with a crew of four, including a chef. Visit pretty fishing villages and drop anchor in pine-scented bays surrounded by green mountains for swimming off the boat, as well as playing on the water toys. On board are six en suite cabins and plenty of lounging space on deck, where you’ll also have meals. Details Seven nights’ full board (excluding two dinners) from £22,870 for 12, including transfers and house wine, departing on June 24 (salamandervoyages.com). Fly to Bodrum

5. New year in the Seychelles

Praslin

Spend more than a week over the new year pottering around the dreamy Seychelles on Emerald Cruises’ sleek, 100-passenger Azzurra, visiting Praslin; rugged Curieuse, home to Aldabra giant tortoises; La Digue, location of the much-photographed Anse Source d’Argent beach; and Aride Island Nature Reserve, a breeding site for seabirds. You can snorkel and paddleboard off the back of the ship, which has a distinct superyacht feel thanks to an infinity pool and lovely alfresco dining area. Details Seven nights’ all-inclusive from £5,445pp, including flights, tips, wi-fi and some activities, departing on December 29 ( emeraldcruises.co.uk )

• Ten river cruises for adventurous travellers

6. Amazon adventure

A jaguar in the Amazon rainforest

Trace the northeast coastline of South America on a 19-night expedition on Swan Hellenic’s smart SH Vega, which carries 158 passengers. You’ll start in Barbados and head to Trinidad, but this is no ordinary Caribbean cruise — the next stop is Georgetown in Guyana, then it’s the volcanic Salvation Islands, a former penal colony off the coast of French Guiana now returned to nature. From the Brazilian town of Iquiqui you’ll head into the Amazon rainforest in search of jaguars and pink river dolphins. While in Brazil there’s also a chance to see the rippling white sand dunes ofLençois Maranhenses National Park and the Unesco world heritage town of Olinda before arriving in colourful Bahia. Details Nineteen nights’ all-inclusive from £6,980pp including wi-fi, taxes, excursions and a night in Barbados, departing on October 12, 2025 (swanhellenic.com). Fly to Barbados

7. Maritime history on east-coast US

Sag Harbor

Sail from Boston to New York City on American Cruise Lines’ 90-passenger American Independence, built for the shallow inlets and rivers of the US east coast. You’ll learn about the history of Boston and call at arty, boho coastal towns packed with maritime history. Plymouth was the first pilgrim settlement, while yachtie Newport is known for its opulent seaside estates and lobster. Old Saybrook, settled in 1635, is one of oldest towns in Connecticut, while Sag Harbor is famed for its art galleries and endless beaches. Details Seven nights’ all-inclusive from £5,999pp, including flights, excursions and a night in a hotel pre-cruise, departing on September 29 (fredholidays.co.uk)

8. Tall ship Atlantic crossing

Star Flyer

Crossing the Atlantic under sail is special; you’ll have days to commune with the ocean, leaving the stresses of everyday life behind. Join the 170-passenger tall ship Star Flyer in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria — the city from which Columbus set sail in 1492. There’s a stop at the Canary island of La Gomera, then 13 days at sea as you head west to the Tropics, making landfall at St Maarten. On board you can help the crew with the sails, splash around in the pool, have a Thai massage and — on this sailing, which has a yoga theme — practise your sun salutations. Details Fifteen nights’ full board from £2,015pp, departing on November 15 (starclippers.co.uk). Fly to Gran Canaria and back from St Maarten

9. Tempting Tahiti

Moorea

Discover Tahiti in all its high-definition beauty on the small ship Star Breeze, which carries 312 and is based in Papeete. You’ll visit dreamy islands including Bora Bora, Huahine, Moorea and Raiatea on a seven-night meander through French Polynesia, with swimming in turquoise lagoons, rainforest hikes and visits to vanilla plantations and ancient sacred sites on the agenda. One night there’s a special dinner on a private island, followed by a fire-dancing display under the stars. Details Seven nights’ all-inclusive from £6,200pp, including flights and a night in a hotel pre-cruise, departing on October 17 (windstarcruises.com; book by June 30)

10. Wellness in the Cyclades

Milos

Potter round the lesser-visited Greek islands of the Cyclades on the 50-passenger Elysium, a tiny ship that can anchor in smaller harbours, away from the mainstream cruise ships. There’s an emphasis on healthy Greek food for meals onboard, and you can choose the most inviting taverna in town for either lunch or dinner each day. A wellness coach travels on every cruise to help balance mind and body, with yoga, meditation and hiking on offer. On a seven-night Divine Cyclades cruise you’ll sail from Athens and visit islands including Delos, Naxos, Milos, Serifos and Kythnos, as well as big-hitters such as Santorini and Ios. Details Seven nights’ half-board from £2,530pp, departing on September 7 (elixir.cruises). Fly to Athens

Princess Cruises takes guests down the ruggedly beautiful Pacific Coast en route to California before sailing to Hawaii. The voyage includes exotic stops such as Tahiti and American Samoa before disembarking in New Zealand. 

Travellers looking for an epic transpacific voyage can cruise from Vancouver to New Zealand with multiple stops in coveted destinations.

Princess Cruises takes guests down the ruggedly beautiful Pacific Coast en route to California before sailing to Hawaii. The voyage includes exotic stops such as Tahiti and American Samoa before disembarking in New Zealand. 

Passengers will sail on the five-star Royal Princess, which offers a range of exciting amenities, including Princess Cruises’ largest top-deck pool that features an evening water and light show, mini-golf, movies under the stars, renowned spa treatments, a disco, nine bars, tennis and much more.

The cruise overnights in Vancouver at Canada Place on Sept. 21 before spending a day in Victoria on Sept. 22. Passengers will then have a couple of days to enjoy the ship before stopping in San Francisco on Sept. 25. The Golden City is home to several popular attractions that can be seen in a day, including excursions to Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. 

After one more day at sea, guests will spend a day in San Deigo before stopping in sunny Los Angeles on Sept. 28. 

The voyage includes five days at sea to reach the tropical Hawaiian Islands, where it stops in Honolulu on Oahu and the Big Island.

Passengers will enjoy another five days on the ship before spending two days in Tahiti and one in Moorea on the Society Islands on Oct. 12. After three more sea days, the ship spends a day in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

The cruise includes three more days at sea, crossing the international dateline before sailing into Tauranga, New Zealand on Oct. 21. It disembarks on Oct. 22 in Auckland. 

Cruise from Vancouver to Auckland, New Zealand with Princess Cruises 

There are four stateroom categories to choose from, including the interior, balcony, mini-suite, and suite. No ocean views are available on this sailing (see slide two).

The interior stateroom is the best option for folks travelling on a budget. While they won't enjoy any fresh air in their rooms, there are plenty of places around the ship to enjoy the view or stand outside. The lowest price for two people is $6,727.86 or $3,363.93 per person. This total breaks down to a per-diem, per-person amount of $112.13 (see slide three). 

  • Related:  Here's how you can sail on dozens of Vancouver cruises for $49 a day

Travellers in parties of three or more can also take advantage of some discounted offers.

The cost for the 30-day cruise includes transportation on a beautiful five-star vessel, meals, entertainment, snacks and lodging. The only thing it doesn’t factor in is alcohol, Wi-Fi or tips, but you may purchase packages to reduce the price.

Flights home from New Zealand shouldn't depart the same day the cruise disembarks in Auckland. Plus, "Middle Earth" is home to several shooting locations from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and other intriguing attractions and places you might want to explore. 

One-way flights from Auckland start at around $880 and include a stop before Vancouver. However, you can also create a multi-stop itinerary that includes several days in Honolulu, Oahu.

Best of Moscow by high speed train

By shuguley , February 15, 2014 in Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Cool Cruiser

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.
