I'm thinking of doing a similar cruise of 51 days and was wondering if this is too long? Alot of sea days, did you like that? I assume you did the crossing from LA. Any recommendations? We are looking at Holland America leaving San Diego for 51 days. Curious if the seas will be rough in Oct/Nov. Any help would be appreciated. Unfortunately we had to cancel the 50 day South Pacific cruise which was leaving from Vancouver or San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind some islands in French Polynesia are considering size restrictions on ships. Not sure on the timing as the talk is it will be done in phases but eventually they are talking about is to eliminate ships larger than 1000 passengers from visiting some islands. Ships larger than 1000 will likely be held to the islands of Raiatea, Tahiti and Moorea. I would do some searching to see forums/post that might give some more details on this issue. While this is being sorted out just imagine a ship with 1500 - 2500 passengers visiting an island with less that 1000 population. Not many will see or enjoy an excursion on an island with that amount of infrastructure . Edited February 12, 2023 by Tahitianbigkahuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO .... way to big of a ship for a sparsely populated island like Fakarava ... Nit fair to the passengers nor other visitors enjoying the tranquility of the island. Not fair to the passengers as there is not enough infrastructure to facilitate this large of a ship. Only 800 plus inhabitants ... but for smaller ships. More the islands are starting to come down on the larger ships ... Again ... in my humble but knowledgeable opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Mom 2 Posted December 13, 2023 #144 Share Posted December 13, 2023 We booked an Azamara cruise around New Zealand departing Auckland 1.20.2025. My DH has now decided we should add on some of the South Pacific so we found a Windstar cruise departing 1.2.205 from Tahiti to Fiji to Auckland prior to the Azamara cruise! We've never been to this part of the world and are pretty excited about it. Of course I'm not a big snorkeler but hopefully that will change prior to these two cruises. I will be looking to figure out the best flights back and forth plus a couple nights stay prior to departing Tahiti and afterwards in Auckland.

SNUBES Posted December 28, 2023 #148 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Two nights in Honolulu to break up the long flight to Sydney from East coast, 3 nights in Sydney then March 10th on Oceania Regatta, Sydney to Papeete. 4 nights in Overwater bungalow at Hilton Moorea after the cruise. Few hours in Hilton Papeete before late flight to LAX. It is going to be a long tiring trip. Starting to question myself why I went for it.
