Tahiti to Hawaii – 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 May 15, 2026 and visits Bora Bora Island, Raiatea Island, Moorea Island, Hilo, Nawiliwili and Honolulu. The trip wraps in Honolulu, so you won't retrace your steps. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Remote atolls, Polynesian culture, and water so blue it looks fake. But it isn't. Keep an eye out for Nawiliwili: Kauai's emerald cliffs meet the harbour. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Papeete before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 12 nights well spent.
