Itinerary advice

Having a problem deciding which itinerary to do.

Radiance goes to Papeete, Morrea, BoraBora, Wellington, NZ, and Picton, NZ

Rhapsody goes to Apia, PagoPago, Suva Fiji, Vila Vanauatu, Lifou Loyalty Island, Isle of Pines New Caledonia, and Noumea.

Anyone cruised these islands?

Please Help!!!

If you haven't been to Tahiti I would opt for that one, Bora Bora as compared to Noumea would be a 10 second or less decision for me.

Suva, Noumea, Vila etc. are available on any Sth Pacific run all the time quite cheaply.

Thank you,

I know nothing about any of these places, except they're beautiful.

Is Noumea not desirable?

Definitely the Tahiti route! It's expensive to stay there on a land-based trip so cruising through makes it much more affordable!

Noumea isn't the most 'beautiful' island by a long shot. They stop there to do immigration for Lifou, Isle of Pines.

Thanks Debsta,

Do you know anything about the NZ ports?

Hi,

You've got Sue..Debs is getting on a cruise ship for the weekend..lucky girl.

NZ ports...you will find lots of kiwis New Zealanders on this board what would you like to know?

In general NZ is a wonderful destination, fantastic scenery, very affordable, do you want some specific information about the NZ ports on that itinerary?

What part of the world do you live in?

Wellington's their capital and a nice city to visit. Picton's smaller but all the NZ locations are nice places and offer interesting sightseeing and some activities.

Hi Sue,

Lucky Deb!

I'm in the USA.

Yes, I was wanting to know more about Wellington and Picton. Thanks Big M :)

Will I see that great scenery by being on a ship and in port one day? I know Lord of the Rings was filmed in NZ, and it was sooo beautiful.

Any recommendations for those cities?

It's sounding more and more like The Radiance has the itinerary I'm becoming more interested in.

Hi Mitzi, you can do a 'Lord of the Rings' Tour in Wellington. Noticed it last time we were there.

Bit of info here - google will find you more. Good luck! :)

Above is a link to the Picton area that you might find useful.. All of NZ has the most spectacular scenery and combined with Tahiti etc. would be an amazing trip.
