Looking for shortish cruises around Tahiti (10-14 days)

[DaMom]

I'm having trouble finding who goes around Tahiti because none of my go-tos (Celebrity, Princess, RCCL) do shorter trips. I'm seeing a lot of 30 day cruises and we can't go that long. Guessing I need a smaller ship - what can you recommend?

Best way to see French Polynesia is on a small ship ... larger ships can not visit some of the islands and other islands are starting to go the same direction ... soon larger ships will only be allowed to visit Tahiti and Raiatea ...

 

Windstar

Paul Gauguin

Aranui

 

Those are the 3 who are home based in FP. A few smaller ships still do visit now and then but it it rarely.

We are taking Aranui 5.  Half freight and half cruise ship.  12 days . stops at all the smaller islands dropping off supplies.  .  Only 200 passengers. and has all the normal amenities. Most excursions are included.    Our cruise begins 9/23 begining and ending in Papeete on 10/4.
