Honolulu to Papeete
Fourteen nights take Silver Whisper from Honolulu across the central Pacific to Tahiti. After Nawiliwili on Kauai with its emerald canyons, sea days cross the equatorial zone before reaching the rugged Marquesas. Nuku Hiva impresses with steep basalt cliffs, Polynesian tiki sites and deep valleys. The lagoons of Makatea and Rangiroa in the Tuamotu archipelago open the turquoise world of the atolls, followed by Moorea with Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay. Via Raiatea, the sacred isle of Polynesia, the voyage ends in Papeete on Tahiti. Silversea offers its full all-inclusive package with butler service and selected wines throughout.
