Tahiti cruises – explore the wonders of South Pacific
Tahiti cruises are usually a part of the same category of sea cruises with the difference being the type of ships you are travelling on. They are divided into three main types:
- Yacht cruises – everything is pretty clear here and you can select any option according to your taste. The islands are pretty close to each other, the sea is calm, so the yacht cruises in these waters deserve the highest praise.
- Standard class sea cruises are provided primarily by Royal Princess. This cruise liner is fairly small, but the advantage is that it can dock in small island ports and is able to pass through narrow gaps between coral reefs to enter lagoons. Although you have to take a special bout from the ship to get to the island, they run very frequently, so there is no inconvenience whatsoever. Royal princess isn’t new but very comfortable. It is owned and operated by Princess Cruises which automatically means a pretty solid standard of quality service without any special frills, excellent food, comfortable travel and excellent entertainment program. Another good description of the company would be “a perfect combination of price and quality”. Prices for additional services on board of the cruise liner are also very reasonable.
- Luxury cruises in this region are provided by Regent Seven Seas. Each cruise ship operated by this company is an example of the elite service. Regent Seven Seas makes it a priority to provide a luxury cruise vacation, with quality placed in the forefront. The company has been acclaimed numerous times for the quality of cruises. The philosophy of seven regent seas is to make everything possible for the comfort of their passengers. The price of the cruise includes almost everything: soft drinks, wine at dinner and the content of the mini bar in the cabin. A piece of advice – when comparing the prices of standard and luxury cruises, pay attention what is included in the price and what is not. That will help estimate how much money you will spend on board in each case.
And now, the itinerary. Most likely, you will visit the islands of Tahiti, Huahine, Rarotonga (Cook Islands), Moorea, Raiatea and Bora Bora. The area is beautiful. A general advice for the sea cruises in the region: when you select shore excursions, choose sightseeing tours or something that includes diving or snorkeling, horseback riding or swimming in waterfalls. The islands of French Polynesia are popular because of their unique paradise-like nature. You will get a chance to see the most spectacular places. If you are a diving enthusiast, the possibilities are endless, as the underwater world is simply indescribable.
If you decide to stay in Tahiti you are already doing yourself a favor. The island is very, very beautiful. For those who appreciate the wild life there’s a jeep safari that takes you across the island and you get a chance to see wild forests, mountain slopes, covered with greenery and orange trees, volcanoes and waterfalls. For some strange reason, orange trees that were brought here long time ago only grow on rocks. The oranges collected from them by brave locals are incredibly expensive – it is believed that because lava accumulated a large quantity of water and heat, the fruits turned out to be incredibly delicious. You can also taste melons, watermelons, mangoes, and the most delicious pineapple sin the world – they are very inexpensive. However, it should be noted that the prices on everything else are quite high, so sea cruise in the area is a great way to save money.
Apart from being an impression packed unforgettable adventure that makes you look forward to the start of a new day, Tahiti cruises provide you with a great opportunity to revive your soul and get a wonderful attitude toward life.
