Shore Excursions and Ship Details
Having partnered with the luxury and lifestyle travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler, Oceania Cruises’ activities and shore excursions have been handpicked by the magazine’s editors. Travelers can four-wheel drive through Moorea and Taipivai Valley, tour a vanilla plantation in Taha’a, picnic on an islet motu, snorkel or sail via catamaran in Bora Bora and tour Tahiti’s iconic west coast.

Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises. “With only 670 guests on board our ultra-premium ships, there is no doubt that traveling through Polynesia with Oceania Cruises is by far the most relaxing and carefree way to experience the most relaxing and carefree place in the world.”
