Itinerary
The capital of French Polynesia on Tahiti is the pulsating gateway to the South Seas. You'll experience colorful markets, lush volcanic landscapes, and black lava sand beaches.
The remote Marquesas Island in French Polynesia fascinates you with lush green mountains, mysterious tiki statues, and the legacy of artist Paul Gauguin.
The largest island of the Marquesas in the South Pacific will impress you with dramatic mountain ridges, deep bays and waterfalls. Lush valleys and Polynesian places of worship characterize the wild landscape.
The island of the French Polynesian Marquesas impresses with its distinctive volcanic basalt needles that rise steeply from the greenery. A wild, unspoilt South Sea landscape.
One of the largest atolls in the world in the Tuamotu archipelago lures you with a huge lagoon full of manta rays, dolphins and sharks. It is a dream destination for snorkelers and divers.
The dramatic volcanic island of Moorea is one of the Society Islands of French Polynesia. Pointed mountain ridges, luminous lagoons and pineapple plantations characterise its paradisiacal character.

Frequently asked questions
How does an LGBT cruise differ from a regular one?
As a rule the entire ship is chartered — a 100% queer crowd with its own programme of DJs, drag shows and themed parties.
What is usually included?
Cabin, full board, entertainment and pool are mostly included. Premium drinks, spa and shore excursions are usually charged separately.
Is the trip suitable for solo travellers?
Yes — the solo share is high on many trips, and there are often dedicated solo meet-ups on board.
What are the cancellation terms?
That depends on the operator. You will find the exact deadlines and conditions directly with the provider.
What about safety when docking in restrictive countries?
The operators are careful about route choices. At controversial ports, shore excursions are curated thoughtfully.
