Alumni Federation2010 Travel Program. Island Life in Tahiti & French Polynesia
Island Life in Tahiti & French Polynesia Experience the sublime paradise of the South Seas while sailing sea lanes once pioneered by ancient Polynesian mariners aboard the incomparable s.y. Star Flyer, an intimate sailing vessel that calls to mind the sleek, swift clipper ships that plied the waters of the Pacific during the 19th century. Following in the wake of Captain James Cook, immerse yourself in the beauty of Tahiti and French Polynesia and discover the legendary warmth and hospitality of their people, whose timeless cultural traditions have transcended generations. View ancient stone temples on tranquil Huahine; explore the birthplace of the legendary navigator Hiro on the island of Taha'a; savor the seductive charm of Bora Bora, "the Pearl of the Pacific;" and visit Moorea, the tropical Eden that inspired James Michener to write Tales of the South Pacific. To further enhance your travel experience, this program features exclusive lectures by a local expert on the ecology of French Polynesia and opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in these pristine waters. You may extend your stay with the Papeete Pre-Cruise Option and/or the Moorea Post-Cruise Option. Approximately $2,995 per person, plus airfare and taxes, based on double occupancy. |
