Description |
16 Night cruise departing from Papeete to Lautoka onboard Europa 2.
The EUROPA 2 takes you on a cruise into paradise. Discover destinations such as Raiatea, Bora Bora and Tongatapu and be inspired by the zest for life of the island inhabitants. Sun-kissed days await in one of the world’s truly fantastic regions.
Highlights of this cruise:
Moorea/Society Islands/French Polynesia
The atoll is one of the most beautiful in the South Pacific. Relax with a boat trip* in Moorea’s lagoon and unwind on an outlying island* where the coral reef makes an impressive spot for snorkelling*.
Fare/Huahine/Society Islands/French Polynesia
The two main islands linked together by a bridge offer wonderfully lush landscapes and varied gardens. Climb aboard an all-terrain vehicle* to explore Huahine Iti, the smaller half of the twin island. A hike* from the village of Maeva to Te Ana offers insights into local traditions.
Motu Mahaea/Society Islands/French Polynesia
Plan your own perfect day on the idyllic private island.
Raiatea/Society Islands/French Polynesia
Cross through the island’s valleys by jeep* and head to the temple ruins of the Taputapuatea marae complex, one of the most important religious sites in French Polynesia.
Bora Bora/Society Islands/French Polynesia
Take a ride on one of the island’s typical Le Truck vehicles* to the mighty volcano massif of Mount Otemanu, the Matira Peninsula’s most beautiful beach and the legendary Bloody Mary’s bar.
Aitutaki/Cook Islands
The atoll with its white beaches is the ideal starting point for a boat trip in the blue lagoon*, which offers some fantastic opportunities for snorkelling and a fish barbecue.
Rarotonga/Cook Islands
Head to the best-known beach on the largest of the Cook Islands and climb aboard a glass-bottom boat*, which will take you through the Muri Lagoon on the way to one of the small islands in the area. Watch as the enchanting backdrop of the South Seas unfurls beneath you on a scenic flight* in a Cessna.
Nuku’alofa/Tongatapu/Tonga
The “Island of Love†is home to the capital of the Kingdom of Tonga. The history and culture is brought to life at the National Cultural Centre* and on a tour* with a stop for photos at the Royal Palace. You can spend some hours relaxing on the tropical island of Pangai Motu*.
Kabara Island/Lau Group/Fiji
Look forward to a vast beach, the turquoise ocean, unique rock formations and a colourful underwater world.
Dravuni/Fiji
Dravuni is home to around just 120 permanent residents and its bays are the perfect place to unwind.
Port Denarau/Viti Levu/Fiji
Take a trip by jeep* into the Nausori Highlands and find out how the Fijian people live here. Or enjoy a helicopter flight* over Fiji.
Lautoka/Viti Levu/Fiji
