Itineraries for South Pacific Islands
Deciding which South Pacific cruise suits you best may be as easy as choosing between Australia or Hawaii. If you're leaning toward the South Pacific and Hawaii, consider:

If you’re considering Australia & French Polynesia, there are several cruise options available:
- 13-Day South Pacific Cruise from Sydney: Departing from Sydney, this voyage takes you to Noumea in New Caledonia, Mystery Island (Vanuatu), Lautoka and Dravuni (Fiji), Pago Pago (American Samoa), and Bora Bora, Raiatea, Moorea, concluding in Papeete (Tahiti) in French Polynesia.
Spirit of Dinogo

All South Pacific cruises are aboard the Dinogo Spirit, which underwent a complete modernization in 2020, designed with the adult cruiser in mind. The extensive upgrades introduced several new dining options, including Onda by Scarpetta, exciting nightlife choices, adult-only areas, and luxurious new staterooms.

Ports for French Polynesian Cruises
The cruise options you choose will determine which of the four main ports Dinogo visits, excluding Papeete, where your cruise either begins or concludes. The ports included in your French Polynesia cruise are:
- Moorea: Moorea is renowned for its eight stunning mountain peaks and serene bays, ideal for snorkeling. You can unwind on the beach, take a bus tour around the island, go hiking, or even try skydiving.
- Bora Bora: Known as the "Jewel of the South Seas," Bora Bora is one of the most famous islands in French Polynesia. Enjoy snorkeling, diving, exploring Mount Pahia, or relaxing on its beaches. It's also a favorite destination for shopping, particularly for art and jewelry.
- Raiatea: Raiatea translates to "faraway heaven" and is home to the largest marae in French Polynesia, an outdoor temple that holds great significance. This island is considered one of the most sacred, believed by many to be the center of the Polynesian migration.
- Papeete: Cruises typically start or finish in Papeete, located on the large island of Tahiti. Spend some time before or after your cruise discovering the attractions and history of Papeete. The island boasts luxurious resorts, top-notch surfing, museums, waterfalls, and more, earning its title as the "Queen of the Pacific." Join an island tour to learn about Tahitian black pearls, visit the Gauguin museum to understand Paul Gauguin's impact on Tahiti, or immerse yourself in the island's natural beauty.
