This spectacular cruise takes you to six islands in both Hawaii and French Polynesia. You'll comb powdery white-and-black-sand beaches, hike through lush forests, approach once mighty volcanoes, and witness waterborne adventures of every kind. You'll also experience the unexpected: probing the culture and history that makes each island - and its people - so unique. Your itinerary includes "Big Island" Hawaii, where Volcanoes National Park includes the still spewing Kilauea; "Garden Isle" Kauai, where lushness provided atmosphere to the films "South Pacific" and "Jurassic Park;" village-like Lanai, which once served as a big pineapple plantation; beautiful Maui, where historic town of Lahaina was an Hawaiian king's capital; peaceful Molokai, the island where the king banished victims of leprosy in the 19th century; cosmopolitan Oahu, which includes the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor and illustrious Waikiki Beach; French Polynesia's Bora Bora where a crystal-blue, marine life-rich lagoon seizes the imagination; traditional Huahine, where - according to legend - residents descended from the marriage of an eel and a lovely maiden; mountainous Moorea, the stunning place on which James Michener may have based his "Bali Hai;" spiritual Raiatea, the religious, political, and cultural center of ancient Polynesia; picture-perfect Rangiroa; and romantic Tahiti, where flowing, pulsating Polynesian dance is still king - and queen. Extra Feature: Top 10 Attractions - Ever dream of swimming with the sharks? You can do exactly that in Bora Bora, floating just a few feet away from where guides are feeding hungary reef sharks. Along with visiting the 3500-foot deep Waimea Canyon on Kauai and jumping on a surf board ar Waikiki Beach on Oahu, it comes highly recommended to anyone who plans a cruise to these dramatic islands.
