South Pacific Crossing – Hawaii & French Polynesia

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 25 nights from Los Angeles on September 26, 2026, visiting Santa Catalina Island, Kailua-Kona and Honolulu, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands. You wind up in Brisbane, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Los Angeles, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The route threads through 3 countries along the Pacific Islands coast: United States, French Polynesia and Australia. Moorea Island stands out. It's Tahiti's magical sister island. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Quantum Of The Seas has 14 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
