Creator's Key Takeaways

I am the go get young at heart bold in spirit find me in my home Tahiti and her Islands

the ship was purposely built for French Polynesia it has a shallow draft so the draft is the amount of ocean or ship more or less underneath the uh the water and that gives us the ability to get up close into the islands

we have a one to one and a half crude guest ratio so that's as high as any of the luxury Cruise Lines thoughts saved today

laid-back luxury so very informal in terms of the dress code no formal lights so you don't need your gowns and tears

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book early to secure the best pricing as rates increase as the ship fills
Consider a balcony stateroom to fully enjoy the views and fresh air in French Polynesia
Spend time in Papeete to experience local markets and nightlife
