Variety Cruises announced the best way to truly experience Tahiti and Bora Bora and enjoy the crystal clear lagoons of French Polynesia.
The award-winning cruise line launched a new French Polynesia itinerary that has departures starting from December 2020 through March 2021. A wonderful way to escape from the cold winter weather, enjoy Christmas and celebrate the New Year!
Sculpted by its lush green landscapes, crystal clear water, and white, pink and black sand beaches, the French Polynesian Islands are, without a doubt, among the most beautiful places on Earth. Variety Cruises guests will be able to indulge in the laid-back Polynesian way, while an on-board chef is prepared to deliver the most delectable meals based on local cuisines, seafood, taro, and fruits.
From the moment the guests board the Variety Cruises 25 cabin Motor-Sailer, the Panorama II, they will be welcomed by a crew that pays special attention to ensuring a wonderful mega-yacht experience.
Whether guests are jumping off the sports platform of the Panorama II to snorkel or swim in the bright blue waters or adventuring through the jungles to discover the hidden waterfalls of Raiatea guided by an onboard naturalist, there is no better way to experience the incredible islands of the South Pacific than by small ship. Unlike competitors with similar itineraries and ships hosting up to 300 passengers, with Variety Cruises’ guests receive the most intimate of experiences while onboard a yacht that feels like their own.
Guests can select from a cruise itinerary for either 7 nights and 8 days exploring the Tahiti and all but one Society Islands, or for an extended holiday sailing 11 nights and 12 days adventuring through the Society Islands as well as the Tuamotu Islands during Christmas and New Year’s.
Variety Cruises offers the most intimate of vacations with their small yachts and a 2 to 1 passenger to crew ratio. Enjoy the small ship advantages of being able to visit ports that larger cruise ships cannot access, and the relaxation that comes with being on a cruise that also offers one of the most culturally-enriching experiences of a lifetime.
