TESTIMONIALS
Hear from travelers who’ve experienced our journeys
The staff in the Bistro made morning coffee a wonderful memory. The dance pros were fantastic in creating a fun party experience at all the dance events. The Music Makers were wonderful and knew most of the dance travelers by name.
I can’t stop thinking about our wonderful cruise on Crystal. The fabulous food, impeccable service, friendly staff, and cleanliness of the entire ship were outstanding. Thank you for providing a fantastic experience.
The treasured muses of great artists, musicians, and writers, these captivating islands are of such exquisite natural beauty they almost defy description in any art form. It’s best to see and experience them for yourself on a luxury cruise in the South Pacific. On departing Kahului and Honolulu, two sun-kissed destinations in the far-flung U.S. outpost of Hawaii, prepare to slow down and embrace the mixture of leisurely sea days and laid-back ports of call as we meander through Polynesia, hopping between island nations on our way to New Zealand.
Nuku Hiva in French Polynesia is a worthy opener for our South Pacific cruises, a huddle of jagged volcanic peaks fringed with golden sands and crystalline waters, it reveals not only the influence of its European colonizers but a strong local character, especially in the intriguing tiki – centuries-old stone monuments – that dot the landscape. There is more to discover beneath the waves. The island of Fakarava reveals why scuba divers love this part of the world. Home to a biosphere reserve recognised by UNESCO, its seas are patroled by colorful clouds of surgeonfish, sleek manta rays, and great grey reef sharks. The marine thrills continue in Rangiroa, one of the largest atolls in the world, Moorea, a heart-shaped cluster of peaks and valleys cloaked in jungle, and Bora Bora, which as well as being a honeymoon favorite, also offers good hiking country on the slopes of Mount Otemanu.
Tahiti, the capital of French Polynesia, has plenty of natural attractions, including waterfalls and geysers, but there are also the sunshine-bright displays of exotic fruit to browse in the market, Notre Dame Cathedral to see, and a waterfront promenade to stroll along. You can also visit the exact spot where Captain Cook made landfall. Across the international dateline in Fiji, visitors receive a convivial welcome with a coconut shell filled with a traditional drink called kava, while the spectacle of a water music ceremony greets visitors to the shores of Vanuatu. Rarotonga, Tonga, and Lifou are among the other Polynesian nations and kingdoms that we visit on our South Pacific cruises – expect just as much to admire and as warm a welcome in them all.

LIFE ONBOARDIn conversation with Chef Nobu
How did the most exciting innovator on the global restaurant scene create his exclusive dining concept at sea? Chef Nobu Matsuhisa explains
THE ART OF CRUISINGTake a cruise, it’s good for the health
Research shows we’re all stressed out and in need of a vacation. And, it seems, a cruise is one of the best ways to recharge the batteries thanks to growing evidence of the healing power of the sea.
It’s all in the detail – and the smallest ones often make the biggest impact. Such as choosing Jesurum 1870 linens for the guest suites to create a refined atmosphere in which comfort reigns supreme
