Ocean Cruising ... did you know ?
It is often more economical to take a 5 star Cruise line voyage than to fly to an International city and stay in a 3 star hotel for the same duration. When you add the costs of the hotel, food & entertainment, etc, you will find that the costs of an "all inclusive" Cruise puts you well in front .all your hotel, meals and entertainment costs are included in the one price! . and on a Cruise, you unpack your suitcases just once aboard your luxury floating hotel . then you can be as active or as relaxed as you like . it's a different lifestyle

Bora Bora Cruises ~ Tahiti 
Boutique cruising aboard custom-built and designed cruise-yachts is a new market niche unique to Bora Bora Cruises. Attention to detail, levels of exclusive comfort, a relaxed and intimate ambiance all combine with the natural beauty of the cruising grounds and many available options to create unparalleled vacation experiences. The key ambiance offered is that of a refined private yacht.
Tahiti's tourism industry is no stranger to innovation, having introduced, amongst other things, the wonderful ‘over-water bungalow' to the world more than three decades ago. Now, in 2003, the Cruise-Yacht has been launched in the calm lagoon waters surrounding Tahiti's leeward islands. Large enough to offer space, privacy and all the comforts one would expect of a larger ship, small enough to offer gueststhe feeling of private yacht freedom, personal attention, and access to lagoons and other areas where the big ships just can't visit.
