South Pacific Crossing – Tahiti & Honolulu

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from April 14, 2027. This one's 16 nights from Sydney, and the route visits Papeete, Moorea Island, Raiatea Island and Honolulu. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. 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 sailing between ports is as good as the ports themselves out here. You get around 13 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Anthem of the Seas keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An April 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.
