About This Cruise
The 18 Night Tropical Shore Tapestry Sydney To Papeete (Tahiti) is a 18-night one-way itinerary aboard Regent Seven Seas Explorer. You board in Isle of Pines and disembark in Rarotonga, calling at 8 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in New Caledonia (Isle of Pines, Noumea, Lifou), Vanuatu (Mystery Island), Fiji (Lautoka, Dravuni), American Samoa (Pago Pago) and Cook Islands (Rarotonga).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Isle of Pines and home from Rarotonga, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 8 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
