Oceania Cruises has announced seven additional exotic summer sailings to French Polynesia and Hawaii in 2025 on board the 670-guest boutique hotel-style Regatta, which will go on sale on 4 October 2023. Sailing with Oceania Cruises is the best way to see these breathtaking places, providing a utopia of cultural exchanges, unique excursions, and stunning surroundings.

The new cruises will visit French Polynesia and Hawaii during the peak months of August, September, and October, when the islands enjoy plenty of sunlight, pleasant temperatures, and reduced humidity. Itineraries include the beautiful blue lagoon of Bora Bora, Tahiti’s black sand beaches, the colourful coral reefs of Raiatea, the soaring mountains in the green rainforests of Nuku Hiva, and more. Four of the seven new sailings connect French Polynesia to the Hawaiian archipelago’s captivating craters, spectacular gorges, and lush waterfalls.

Oceania Cruises offers comprehensive itineraries that allow you to understand the traditions of native Polynesian culture, taste the fresh flavours of local food, and see the local communities and surrounding natural marvels.

“At Oceania Cruises, we offer a captivating array of sailings in French Polynesia and Hawaii, charting lesser-known coastlines and taking travellers to boutique ports and off-the-beaten-track islands thanks to our small, luxurious ships,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises.

“Food is unquestionably one of the highlights of these parts of the world.” “Whether visiting Bora Bora and Nuku Hiva or Nawiliwili and Hilo, the flavours of these islands are meant to be savoured and enjoyed just as much as the spectacular scenery,” Del Rio continued.

The seven new voyages vary from 10 to 18 days and depart from Tahiti or Honolulu, offering plenty of time for exploration, adventure, and leisure in these spectacular corners of the world.

While Tahiti may appear a world away, Papeete is easily accessible by air from New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, and Sydney, with comfortable 8-hour non-stop flights from Los Angeles and 5-hour non-stop flights from Auckland.

Similarly, Honolulu is just a 6-hour direct trip from Los Angeles and an 8-and-a-half-hour direct flight from Auckland. In addition to the seven additional sailings onboard Regatta in 2025, Oceania Cruises offers dozens of other destination-rich itineraries throughout the South Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand in 2024 and 2025.
