Ocean Discovery – Papeete, Moorea & Raiatea

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 13-night sailing leaves Papeete on September 15, 2028 and visits Moorea Island, Raiatea Island and Bora Bora Island, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands. The sailing ends in Lautoka. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Pacific Islands route takes in French Polynesia, United States, Samoa and Fiji, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Moorea Island: Tahiti's magical sister island. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Spirit keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Papeete before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 7 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
