What is "Tuamotu Atolls Scenic Cruising"

[MVPinBoynton]

Does anyone know what there is to see while you are on the Tahitian Princess while it is doing the "Tuamotu Atolls Scenic Cruising"? It is obviously just passing through on its way to the Marquesas; but since it isn't mentioned coming back and it does make the trip to the Marquesas two days rather than the one day return, I am curious. Any info would be appreciated.

Mike,
Basically you'll just be sailing by very small islands, some of which are inhabited. For me, the most interesting part was trying to figure out how some of these folks went through life ... "No phone ,no lights, no motor car,
not a single luxury."

Happy cruising! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info Bill. It doesn't sound too wonderful, but I guess it is a little more interesting than just a day at Sea. At least the trip does get us to the beautiful Marquesas.
