Wilcoam Posted May 11, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2007 My wife and I, are looking are going to the Islands, for the first time ever, early Jan 2008. She prefers land trips, IE: 7 nights in Bora Bora, I prefer crusing, IE: TP 10 night itin. I'm thinking of combining the two, 3-4 days pre-cruise in Bora Bora, then 10 days TP cruise. (Going pre-cruise to Bora Bora might not only allow us to avoid LAX and fly JFK direct, but takes the stress away from flying in day of, and/or missing flights and that first full day on the TP, not to mention eliminating jet lag/time adj) I see many many mentions of pre-cruise n post cruise stays in Papeete, and/or Moorea, but very little mention of Bora Bora. (actually-none!) I realize Moorea is much closer, but my wife is pretty set on staying in Bora Bora proper. Are there in fact, local flights, and/or boat service from Papeete to Bora Bora? Does Princess also offer such a package, or is it best to book on one's own, for Bora Bora? Appreciate advice, Thx in advance jc Toronto, Canada Galaxy Sept 2006 Princess Star Jan 2007 X Xpedition Sept 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are flying there post cruise in July for 3 nights.. the flight cost is 69 400 XPF (34 700 XPF/each). The only problem I have had so far is trying to fax my cc to them...

trixie54 Posted June 1, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Wilcoam - we are thinking about the same plan! Please share what you find, & I'll do the same. I think Bora Bora is really worth the effort from what I hear. We're also planning to go in Jan./Feb. 2008, for the first time. Thanks!
