Learn more about your Tahiti cruise

Tahiti: the beating heart of French Polynesia

Located in the Society Islands, Tahiti is often considered the beating heart of French Polynesia. The largest island in French Polynesia blends modern life with tradition and offers a wealth of captivating experiences for travelers seeking adventure, culture, and relaxation.

Papeete, the gateway to French Polynesia

Papeete, Tahiti’s lively capital, is the ideal jumping-off point for exploring the island and the other jewels of French Polynesia. This cosmopolitan city is known for its colorful market, where visitors can find local products such as exotic fruit, pareos, and mother-of-pearl jewelry. You can also dive into the island’s history and culture at the Pearl Museum and the Museum of Tahiti and the Islands, home to fascinating collections of Polynesian artifacts.

Black and white sand beaches

Tahiti is famed for its beautiful beaches, ranging from stretches of volcanic black sand to pristine white-sand shores—perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. Pointe Vénus Beach, with its black sand and calm waters, is ideal for swimming and picnicking. For white sand, Taharuu Beach in Papara is a popular spot for surfing and relaxing.

Idyllic landscapes of mountains and waterfalls

Tahiti’s interior is every bit as spectacular as its coasts. The island’s green mountains—including Mount Orohena, the highest peak in French Polynesia—offer outstanding hiking. Trails wind through lush tropical forests and deep valleys to impressive waterfalls such as the Faarumai Falls. A 4x4 excursion into the Papenoo Valley reveals breathtaking scenery, rushing rivers, and crystal-clear natural pools.

Culture and traditions

Tahitian culture is rich and vibrant, steeped in ancestral traditions. Visitors can attend Tahitian dance performances, known as ’ori Tahiti, which tell ancient stories through graceful, rhythmic movement. Polynesian music—often with ukuleles and percussion—accompanies these shows, creating an enchanting atmosphere.

Tahitian cuisine

Tahitian cooking delights the senses. Sample traditional dishes like poisson cru à la tahitienne, marinated in coconut milk and lime, or poulet fafa, cooked with taro leaves. In the evenings, Papeete’s “roulottes” (food trucks) set up on Place Vaiete, offering a unique, convivial culinary experience with a wide variety of dishes. Local markets brim with fresh tropical fruit, coconuts, and pastries.

Tahiti and its islands: gems to explore

Cruises to Tahiti generally include calls in other Society Islands, each offering unique, memorable experiences.

Moorea

Close to Tahiti, Moorea captivates with its natural beauty. Its heart-shaped bays—Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay—are framed by dramatic mountains and lush forests. Pineapple plantations, pearl farms, and tropical gardens add to the island’s charm. Moorea is also renowned for exceptional surf breaks and hiking trails that lead to spectacular viewpoints. Visitors can join cultural excursions—Tahitian dance demonstrations and local craft workshops—for a full immersion in Polynesian culture.

Bora Bora

Nicknamed the “Pearl of the Pacific,” Bora Bora is a paradise of turquoise lagoon, motus (islets), and Mount Otemanu rising majestically at the island’s center. Its crystal-clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, with coral gardens and exceptional marine life, including manta rays. Beyond water sports, popular activities include guided hikes to Otemanu’s summit and cultural visits in local villages to learn more about Polynesian traditions.

Raiatea

Raiatea is rich in history and culture. The Taputapuātea marae—a sacred site on the UNESCO World Heritage List—attests to its cultural importance in Polynesia. Considered the cradle of Polynesian civilization, this archaeological complex offers visitors a fascinating window into ancient history and traditions. Raiatea also boasts diverse landscapes, from verdant mountains to crystalline lagoons. Sailors find ideal conditions for cruising, especially toward its sister island Taha’a, famed for vanilla plantations. Raiatea’s winding rivers are perfect for kayaking through tropical jungle, offering a unique perspective on the local ecosystem.

Huahine

Known as the “garden of Polynesia,” Huahine is a preserved island where nature reigns, loved for secluded beaches, protected lagoons, and luxuriant vegetation. The island consists of two main parts—Huahine Nui (greater Huahine) and Huahine Iti (little Huahine)—linked by a natural bridge. Explore ancient archaeological sites, including marae and traditional fish traps, which showcase the ingenuity and way of life of early Polynesians. Huahine is also known for its pearl farms and fields of sweet melons. Scuba diving and snorkeling are popular, with chances to observe stingrays and sharks in their natural habitat.

What are the iconic ports for a cruise to Tahiti?

Papeete is Tahiti’s emblematic port, with numerous cruises departing Papeete that include calls in the other Society Islands, the Austral Islands, the Tuamotu Islands, the Marquesas, and the Gambier Islands.

Cruises to Tahiti can also depart the United States, with cruises from San Diego combining Hawaii and French Polynesia. There are also cruises from Los Angeles offering compelling itineraries that combine Hawaii and Tahiti, as well as cruises from Honolulu, Hawaii’s capital.

There are also cruises from Auckland in New Zealand and cruises from Sydney in Australia, which reveal the treasures of the South Pacific—such as New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, and Niue—before reaching Tahiti and the other islands of French Polynesia.

Which cruise lines offer cruises to Tahiti?

Aranui

Aranui, a Polynesia specialist, offers authentic cruises from Papeete aboard its hybrid vessel, the Aranui 5, which combines freight service with passenger cruising. These itineraries let guests explore the splendor of the Polynesian islands while enjoying the comforts of a refined ship and the warmth of a Polynesian crew.

Paul Gauguin

A benchmark for cruising in Polynesia, Paul Gauguin features varied itineraries with calls in Papeete, Huahine, Taha’a, Bora Bora, and Moorea. The luxurious ship Le Paul Gauguin, with five-star French-speaking service and refined cuisine by Ducasse Conseils, offers an immersive exploration of Tahiti and her islands.

Oceania Cruises

Oceania Cruises offers luxury voyages with itineraries that combine multiple Pacific destinations, including Tahiti and her islands. Guests can enjoy “the finest cuisine at sea,” developed by renowned chefs such as Jacques Pépin, aboard spacious, comfortable ships.

Princess Cruises

Princess Cruises delivers a premium experience, notably with itineraries that combine Tahiti and Hawaii. Cruisers can savor delicious cuisine, enjoy Broadway-inspired productions, and take part in immersive activities such as lei-making workshops, hula lessons, and Hawaiian folk shows through the exclusive Aloha Spirit program.

How to prepare for your cruise to Tahiti

When should you cruise to Tahiti?

The best time for a cruise to Tahiti runs from May to October, during the dry season (also called the cool season). During this period, the climate is drier and temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 21°C to 29°C, with less rainfall and lower humidity—ideal for enjoying outdoor activities without frequent showers or the intense heat of the wet season.

Select your cruise itinerary

Many itineraries from Papeete let you explore the Society Islands and other archipelagos of French Polynesia, such as the Marquesas (Nuku Hiva, Hiva Oa, etc.) and the Tuamotus (Rangiroa, Fakarava, etc.). These voyages usually last 8 to 15 days.

You can also opt for cruises that combine Hawaii and French Polynesia, departing from Honolulu, Los Angeles, or San Diego, or for cruises from Auckland or Sydney that mix calls in South Pacific islands (such as Fiji and Samoa) with French Polynesia. These combined cruises last about 20 days. The longest combined routes—sailing from New Zealand or Australia to French Polynesia, Hawaii, and the U.S. West Coast (or the reverse)—take about a month.

Book early

Booking your Tahiti cruise early helps you secure the best prices and a wide choice of staterooms, including interior rooms, ocean-view cabins with windows or portholes, balcony or veranda cabins, and comfortable suites. This is especially true in high season (May to October), when demand is strong thanks to optimal weather.

Pack the right clothing and gear

Bring lightweight, breathable clothing for the tropical climate—shorts, T-shirts, and swimwear. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are essential for sun protection. Don’t forget a light rain jacket, as evenings at sea can sometimes be cool, and bring your snorkeling gear for exploring the reefs. Comfortable walking shoes are also a good idea for hikes.

FAQ about cruises to Tahiti

What is the price of a cruise to Tahiti?

Cruises that explore Tahiti and other islands of French Polynesia start at around $2,500 per person for itineraries of about 7 nights. Longer cruises of 10 to 14 nights can reach up to $10,000 per person. These prices do not include flights and vary depending on the cruise line, stateroom category, and included services.

What can you do during a cruise to Tahiti?

During a Tahiti cruise, visit the Faarumai waterfalls, go snorkeling or diving to admire the coral reefs, and browse Papeete’s market for local crafts. Relax on dream beaches such as La Plage Vaiava and taste Tahitian specialties like poulet fafa. Then set off to discover other Society Islands—Moorea, Bora Bora, Raiatea, and Huahine.
