Miller Loves Cruising Posted February 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I was on the breakaway a couple of weeks ago and had a long talk with the cruise consultants, Shane and Martin I think, and they let it slip that the Sun was headed to Bora Bora in late 2018 from San Diego. They said it was going to be a one time trip so maybe headed to Australia? Anyone else heard anything similar? Sounds like it would be an amazing cruise!!!

The new cruises will be bookable for Latitude members Feb 9 I think. Must be a trans Pacific cruise. I am booked in 2017 to AU from Hong Kong on Spirit. There are a few doing AU/NZ area but not seen Bora Bora. It will be interesting to see 2018! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted February 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) There was a post last week when the press release came out and someone mentioned something about a possible repo of the Sun thru Tahiti.

We'd love to see a Pacific cruise to include Pape'ete Tahiti, Bora Bora and other exotic ports onroute to Au/NZ. I think that would be awesome. Feb. 9th hurry up and get here (not that I expect the 2018 season to be posted too but...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louiselanch Posted February 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I would love to go to Bora Bora! How long would a cruise like that take? I am willing to forfeit any holiday in 2017 for that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to forfeit any holiday in 2017 for that :D I think this type of cruise would be anywhere from 10 - 21 days ... longer depending on the stops I guess. And actually, I think it was the Sun, not the Star (sorry, my bad) which was spotted as scheduled stop in Pape'ete, Tahiti as well. Not holding my breathe on this but would certainly generate a lot of interest IMO. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those trips were right around 14 days as I recall with a few stops along the way. They have been very reasonable. They have a drydock next year I believe so we'll have to see where they go. PG really does French Polynesia well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG really does French Polynesia well. So, if NCL were to do a trip from, say San Fran., would you guesstimate the cruise would be around 21 days or longer? Just not sure how DH would feel about a trip that long :eek: Sorry, I mean from SF to Au/NZ Edited February 2, 2016 by All-ready2cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted February 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Another ship taken away from the States.. ;) (Getaway doing Baltic summer 2017) Celebrity does some runs there too, with an S class ship, that part of the world is tempting...!

FireEater Posted February 2, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 2, 2016 My bucket list includes a transpacific too. If I can just get the time to get a Paul Gauguin cruise around Tahiti, Bora Bora, and surrounding islands with their offered flight from CA, that would be a big check off on my list.

SuiteCruiser Posted February 2, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) We did Tahiti to Hawaii in 2005 and that was a 12 night. I'm thinking the 21 nights will be likely unless it's BTB cruises SD to Tahiti, Tahiti to Australia which would be better and would include 2 tours of the south pacific which is so amazing, it's unbelievable. Once you're outside of Papeete it's the best place on earth. Edited February 2, 2016 by SuiteCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Loves Cruising Posted February 3, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Apparently it is going to be an 18 day one way from San Diego to Tahiti then 18 days back to San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pspercy Posted February 3, 2016 #19 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Apparently it is going to be an 18 day one way from San Diego to Tahiti then 18 days back to San Diego. Followed by the 'round the Horn trips ? Hope so but who knows. Even the idea of an out & back to Tahiti as two cruises seems a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
