BORA BORA, SOCIETY ISLANDS
Enhance your cruise and make the most of your trip to the islands with a relaxing three-night pre-cruise stay at two beautiful Tahitian resorts.
With its turquoise lagoons, sugar sand beaches, and jagged volcanic peaks, Bora Bora is an unspoiled gem in the emerald necklace of French Polynesia. Discover the marine life teeming in its coral reefs, glide over the water on a jet ski or glass-bottom boat, or embark on an off-road 4×4 safari offering breathtaking views. You will see for yourself why author James Michener called Bora Bora “the most beautiful island in the world.”
