Variety Cruises Announces New Tahiti Voyages for 2023
Luxury Cruise Guide

28 October, 2022
For the first time ever, Variety Cruises will be sailing Tahiti, as it added the island as its newest destination for 2023. The cruise line also announced FAM rates for active travel professionals, offering up to 75 percent off on published rates (full details below).
Starting in January, the Greek company will sail seven- and 10-night itineraries roundtrip from Papeete and uncover the hidden wonders of the Society Islands of French Polynesia. The company is the first cruise line to add the destination of Makatea to its official itinerary.
The line will be operating the itineraries onboard the Panorama II, a 164-foot, two-masted motorsailer with a maximum capacity of 49 guests. Panorama II has wooden finishes and consists of 25 passenger cabins, dining areas, a deck for sunbathing and an outdoor bar and sundeck. Being on a small boat, passengers have access to private beaches and secluded locations that other (larger) cruise ships do not.
The seven-night cruise, "Tahiti & the Pearls of French Polynesia," takes passengers through Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Moorea and launches February 3, 2023 through December 2023. Optional activities include a visit at the UNESCO-protected site of ancient Marae (an open-air temple) of Taputapuatea, snorkeling excursions with stingrays and sharks, observing and feeding the sacred blue-eyed eels of Faie Bay, as well as lagoon explorations.
The 10-night cruise, "Tahiti, the Society & Tuamotu Islands," allows a deeper discovery of the Tuamotu islands. This cruise takes passengers through the same route of the seven-night cruise and then onwards to rarely visited Makatea, Rangiroa, Tetiaroa and Mo’orea. The highlight here is the island of Makatea, best described as a raised island of coral unlike any other destination found in French Polynesia.
The 10-night itinerary runs from January 13, 2023 through December 2023.
