My husband has some mobility problems although he usually has no problems using tenders.

We would like to visit French Polynesia or the islands nearer New Zealand e.g. Fiji, but I am concerned that the majority of the ports entail a tender. I have been put off by photos of the Paul Gaugin and Marina which shows a steep flight of many steps onto the tiny tender platform. I cannot find any details of the Regatta tender process not even from Oceania.

I would greatly appreciate any comments about tendering in this region. .

Also, are the seas particularly choppy between November and February?

thanks

Hi Tring

I have been to many ports throughout the world with Voyages of Discovery and can't ever recall there being a shuttle laid on by the ship. I am under the impression that they do not encourage independent travel.

However, we have sometimes used the shuttle laid on by the relative port authority.

many thanks

where do I find the passenger bulletin board please ?

Hi Comcox,

I see no one has answered your question on dar es salaam port on another post.

we are on the same 2 cruises as yourself and are also having difficulty in finding info. on several of the ports.

what have you organised so far?
