To visit the high places of Polynesia
Specializing in high-end trips to the world's most beautiful destinations, Voyages d'exception offers in its catalog a grandiose cruise in Polynesia . In 21 days, taken care of from France, Belgium and Switzerland, the traveler discovers the beauties of these Pacific islands and their natural wealth.
An extended stay in Tahiti is an opportunity to discover the largest of the Polynesian islands. You can walk through the streets of the capital Papeete and its many buildings and monuments of interest, but also see its coral reef or its extinct volcanoes.
Once on board the Panorama II, the Society Archipelago is the first on the program with magical names for sea and nature lovers:
- Bora-Bora and its lush vegetation bordered by heavenly beaches
- Tahaa, famous for its exotic fruits, coconut, banana, but also vanilla
- Raiatea and its ancestral religious heritage
- Moorea has crystal clear lagoons ideal for observing multicolored fish.
We will then head for 4 atolls of the Tuamotu archipelago:
- Makatea, perfect for birdwatchers with its endemic birds
- Fakarava, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, a true diver's paradise
- Rangiroa, 2nd largest atoll in the world, full of submerged caves
Sailing on a comfortable and warm schooner
A vessel designed for cruising, the Panorama II and its two schooner masts combine the charm of a sailing ship with the comfort of a yacht. Renovated in 2015, the boat has 25 cabins, limiting the number of passengers to 49. All cabins have sea views and are decorated in dark wood.
This limited capacity guarantees a high quality service. You can enjoy a tasty cuisine with international specialties. The outdoor areas, bar, restaurant, sun deck with deck chairs allow you to fully enjoy the pleasures of peaceful navigation.
A wide range of activities during your stopover
According to the expectations of each one, it is possible to take advantage of stopovers within each of the crossed islands through multiple activities.
For history buffs, we will discover the archeological treasures of Bora Bora by 4x4 or the sacred maraes of the village of Maeva.
We will also be interested in the local culture by making pareos, discovering the gastronomy, the culture of the black pearl and vanilla in Tahaa, a coconut grove in Fakarava or a pineapple field in Moorea. We will try the typical Tahitian dance "ori tahiti".
For sportsmen, kayaking in the Faaroa River, swimming through the underwater caves of Makatea, in the heart of the blue lagoon of Fakarava, on a pink sand beach in Rangiroa or in the pure waters of Lake Vaihiria. Dives with sharks or rays will also satisfy your desire for aquatic encounters.
Ornithology and exotic botany are not left out with excursions dedicated to birdwatching or visiting unusual gardens.
In order to guarantee a most soothing escape, a French-speaking team is always at the side of the travelers during the cruise and the excursions.
And since traveling is a real chance to take a fresh look at the world, Exceptional Voyages organizes throughout the cruise exciting lectures, led by experienced guides, on the nature and history of the islands.
