Honolulu to Sydney by Way of Tahiti

*Taxes & fees included
Fly to Honolulu, and take the long way home. The ship leaves in the evening and spends five days crossing to French Polynesia, the kind of stretch at sea that makes a voyage feel like one. Moorea comes first, a tender day until ten at night in a lagoon clear enough to see the stingrays from the boat, then Papeete, fifteen hours alongside on Tahiti for the market and the black-sand beaches, and Raiatea, the sacred island, where the marae at Taputapuatea is a World Heritage site. Sailing west across the International Date Line, one calendar day simply never happens. New Zealand fills the last week: Tauranga for Rotorua, a full day in Auckland and the Bay of Islands, before two days at sea bring you into Sydney Harbour at half past six on 17 October.
