CRUSING TAHITI
How about cruising through the isands of Tahiti? I recently had the opportunity to do this. We flew out of Los Angeles directly into Papeete on Air Tahiti Nui, the airline of Tahiti. Tahiti is on the same time zone as Hawaii so just a three hour difference from the west coast. We actually spent the night in Papeete and then went to the ship the next morning. The "Tahitian Princess" is a lovely intimate ship, with a capacity of 630 passengers, it feels almost like your own private yacht sailing to some of the most exotic islands in the world.

The cruise took us to Huahine,Rarotonga,Raitea, Bora Bora and Moorea. With an overnight in Bora Bora, Raitea and Papeete. The scenery is unforgetable with some of the most incredible waters we have ever seen. If you take the excursion off the ship in Bora Bora around the island by water you could find yourself snorkelling with reef sharks or stingrays.

The cruise was for 10 nights, we extended 2 nights in Papeete before and after the cruise. Princess cruises do a wonderful job in the South Pacific, the staff and onboard amenities were exceptional, we are experienced cruisers and felt this cruise rated as the best overall cruise we had ever taken, the ports of call were unbelieveable the water sports incredible and the ship personnel and amenities were five star.

The Tahitian princess will only be doing a limited amount of Tahiti Voyages in 2008 and so book early to make sure you do not miss this incredible trip of a life time.
