 Heaven
can wait — come experience the sublime paradise of the South Seas
aboard the incomparable S.Y. Star Flyer, an intimate sailing vessel
that calls to mind the sleek, swift clipper ships that plied the
waters of the Pacific during the 19th century. Following in the
tradition of Captain James Cook, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Paul
Gauguin, immerse yourself in the beauty of Tahiti and French
Polynesia. You’ll discover the legendary warmth and hospitality of
the area’s people. Tahiti is the largest, most populated island of
French Polynesia. The tour will take you to the ancient stone
temples in tranquil Huahine — one of the most picturesque islands in
French Polynesia. Explore the cultural legacy of the Polynesians on
the sacred island of Raiatea, and savor the seductive charm of Bora
Bora, largely considered the pearl of the Pacific. The tour will
take visitors to the tropical eden of Moorea — the inspiration for
James Michener’s mythical island in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Tales
of the South Pacific. To enhance your travel experience, the program
features exclusive lectures by a local expert on the culture and
ecology of French Polynesia. And, what would a trip to the South
Pacific be without swimming and snorkeling in the pristine waters of
its peaceful, tranquil lagoons? You may extend your South Seas
journey with the Papeete postprogram option, and spend two nights in
a deluxe hotel in Tahiti’s cosmopolitan capital.
