16 Night Cruise sailing from Papeete to Auckland aboard Crystal Serenity.
Traverse the South Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line on Crystal Serenity. Setting off from Papeete, explore Rarotonga and its epic volcanic landscape on the Cook Islands, before enjoying the sapphire waters of Tonga, Fiji, and Vanuatu. Nouméa’s natural beauty is our last port before ending in characterful Auckland.
Highlights of this cruise:
Papeete
Awaken your senses in the vibrantly alive capital of French Polynesia. Stroll along the wide waterfront-boulevard and marvel and the gorgeous waters and perfect beaches. Tahitian locals and shopkeepers welcome you as you explore the carefree spirit of their island.
Rarotonga
The pristine nature of Rarotonga, the Cook Islands’ largest island in terms of territory and population, makes the town a stunning tropical paradise that is also rich in warm hospitality and local heritage. Try the island’s delicious cuisine, based on its abundant fresh fish and tropical fruit, and learn about its culture through traditional music and shows.
Nuku’alofa
In the capital city of Tonga, Nuku’alofa, you can admire the scenery of this remote region and participate in many activities such as swimming with whales, diving amid impressive caves, tasting the local gastronomy and visiting nearby islands while taking in endlessly mesmerizing landscapes.
Auckland
Situated astride a narrow, jade-green isthmus between the shimmering waters of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean on two harbors, the Waitemata and Manukau, is Auckland. This vibrant city is a gateway to New Zealand’s natural and cultural treasures: great natural beauty, friendly people, magnificent glacier-studded mountain ranges, sculpted fjords, pristine beaches, lush rainforest, an endless array of sporting activities, and, not to be forgotten, plenty of sheep and rolling farmland.
With an industry-leading space to guest ratio across an array of social areas, crystal serenity offers the utmost comfort, quality, personalisation and choice.
