Tall ShipsSTAR CLIPPERS TO TAHITI

Star Clippers entered the French Polynesia cruise market for the first time when it deployed Star Flyer to Tahiti in December, offering 7, 10 and 11-night round-trip Papeete itineraries. The eight ports of call that compose the destination-intense itineraries take the ship to the Society and Tuamotus Islands. Along the way, sunset departures, cruising in lagoons and opportunities to dive and snorkel in some of the most spectacular sites in the world enhance each itinerary.

Star Flyer’s seven-night sailing calls at Huahine, Raiatea, Taha’a, Bora Bora and Cook Bay and Opunohu Bay, Moorea, with an overnight in Papeete before disembarkation. The 10-night round-trip Papeete cruise takes passengers to the Society Islands and Tuamotu Atolls, with special cruising in the Rangiroa Lagoon.
