Celestial Wake – Papeete, Moorea & Kona

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 20 nights from Sydney on March 28, 2027, visiting Tauranga, Auckland, Papeete, Moorea Island, Kailua-Kona and Honolulu. You finish in Honolulu. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 3 countries along the Australia & New Zealand coast: New Zealand, French Polynesia and United States. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Royal Princess has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
