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 wake of Captain James Cook, Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Gauguin, immerse yourself in the beauty of Tahiti and French Polynesia and discover the legendary warmth and hospitality of their people. View ancient stone temples on tranquil Huahine; explore the birthplace of legendary navigator, Hiro, on the island of Taha’a; savor the seductive charm of Bora Bora, “the Pearl of the Pacific;” and visit Moorea, the tropical Eden that inspired James Michener to write Tales of the South Pacific. To enhance your travel experience, this program features exclusive lectures by a local expert on the ecology of French Polynesia and opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in the pristine waters of the South Seas. Pre-Cruise Option : Papeete. Post-Cruise Option: Moorea.
