Hibiscus & Volcanic Ridge – Bora Bora & Hilo
About this cruise
A 12-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Papeete on August 5, 2027 and visits Moorea Island, Bora Bora Island and Raiatea Island, with additional stops along the Hawaii. The sailing ends in Honolulu. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. People come back from this cruise talking about Raiatea Island: The sacred island where Polynesia began. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Spirit takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 7 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
