Cruise ports in French Polynesia Cruises – Papeete on Tahiti

Papeete on Tahiti offers a city stop on a cruise to French Polynesia. A visit gives you a taste of Tahiti, but does not automatically mean an extended stay on other islands. If you would like to spend more time in the island region beyond Papeete, plan extra days before or after your cruise.

Putting Papeete and Tahiti in context

When choosing an itinerary, it is worth distinguishing between a brief stop in Papeete and a stay that allows more time ashore. This can help you decide whether a first impression of the city is enough or whether you would like to extend your trip with a longer visit to Tahiti.
