Enhance your cruise and make the most of your trip to the islands with a relaxing three-night post-cruise stay at a beautiful Tahitian resort.

With its turquoise lagoons, sugar sand beaches, and jagged volcanic peaks, Bora Bora is an unspoiled gem in the emerald necklace of French Polynesia. Discover the marine life teeming in its coral reefs, glide over the water on a jet ski or glass-bottom boat, or embark on an off-road 4x4 safari offering breathtaking views. You will see for yourself why author James Michener called Bora Bora “the most beautiful island in the world.”

Days 2 & 3 – Bora Bora

Located on Motu Piti Aau, a small coral island on the barrier reef, The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa is an eco-friendly jewel. The Deep Ocean Spa offers luxurious treatments utilizing nutrients extracted from the deep-sea water of the South Pacific. After an included breakfast, spend your days at leisure enjoying the resort’s stunning setting.
