Popular options include the Hawaii to Tahiti cruise and extended South Pacific cruises connecting major island groups.


Design a package that is luxurious, adventurous, and uniquely yours. 


Tahiti:

Luxury resorts & overwater bungalows.

  • Society Islands: High volcanic islands with lagoons
  • Bora Bora: The Romantic Island
  • Moorea: The Magical Island

Fiji & Melanesian Adventures:

  • Fiji Island
  • Vanuatu
  • New Caledonia


Melanesia:

Melanesia lies west of Polynesia and north of Australia.

Travelers looking for Fiji vacations, Vanuatu adventure travel, or New Caledonia lagoon tours will find extraordinary variety, lush, cultural experiences, and adventure‑rich tours. 


Fiji:

  • The “Hub of the South Pacific”
  • Private island resorts and the warm Bula Spirit


Vanuatu:

  • Active volcanoes
  • Blue holes
  • WWII wreck diving


New Caledonia:

  • French‑Melanesian culture
  • World’s largest coral lagoon


Cook Islands:

Authentic & Quiet, the Cook Islands offer a quieter, more traditional South Pacific experience. 


  • Rarotonga: Friendly, accessible, relaxed
  • Aitutaki: Home to “the world’s most beautiful lagoon”


Samoa & Tonga:

  • Waterfalls, blowholes, village life
  • Less resort‑heavy, more authentic


Fiji Cruise Gateways:


  • Port Denarau (Viti Levu / Nadi Enclave): This is the high-end, premium tourist hub. Because it is a shallow marina precinct, cruise ships anchor offshore and tender passengers directly into the Port Denarau Retail & Commercial Centre. It's the ultimate jumping-off point for day catamarans out to the Mamanuca Islands or excursions to the Sabeto Mud Pools.   


  • Savusavu (Vanua Levu): Located on Fiji's second-largest island, this is a quieter, boutique port of call. It has a beautiful, laid-back yachting vibe, famous for its hidden hot springs, local chocolate factory tours, and the J. Hunter Pearl Farm.   


  • Dravuni Island (Kadavu Group): The ultimate "deserted island" cruise stop. There are no vehicles, no resort complexes, and less than 200 local inhabitants. Ships anchor offshore so passengers can spend a pure beach day snorkeling vibrant coral reefs and hiking to the island's peak for 360-degree ocean views.

Arrival and Departures at Major Gateways:


Most international and mainland flights connect through Honolulu (HNL) on Oahu, or Papeete on Tahiti Island.


Multi Destination & Inter-Island Transit: 


If your travel package spans multiple islands, short commercial flights or in Papeete the ferry are the only ways to travel between island resorts.

Coordinate rental car pickup or ground transportation. Our custom packages include pre-arranged private drivers or dedicated shuttles to transition you seamlessly from your arrival transportation to your resort or to and from the cruise port.
