$3899—Hawaii, Tahiti & New Zealand: 21-nt fly-cruise-stay

For $186 a night, this last-minute package turns Tahiti from a bucket-list splurge into a three-week Pacific voyage. Waikiki starts the holiday with beaches and surf culture. Tahiti transforms it. Then Anthem of the Seas carries you home. Three days across three French Polynesian islands form the voyage’s spectacular heart. Papeete blends Polynesian traditions with French influences, waterfront dining and a midnight departure. Moorea follows with volcanic peaks, luminous lagoons and humpback season in full swing. Then Raiatea slows everything down. Greener and quieter, it reveals Polynesia’s spiritual heart and deep cultural roots. This is not one hurried Tahiti stop. Three long days let each island reveal a different side of Polynesia. New Zealand then changes the mood completely. Tauranga opens the way to Rotorua, Māori culture and Mount Maunganui. Then Sydney’s white sails appear, completing the Pacific homecoming. This 21-night holiday includes a Sydney-Honolulu flight and two Waikiki hotel nights. From there, unpack once and let the ship do the travelling. Generous sea days give this vast crossing room to breathe. It is the grown-up fantasy: fly into the adventure, then sail home slowly. Few holidays offer this much ocean, island time and theatre for the price.

Itinerary highlights

Waikiki begins the journey with two nights on Oahu, where golden beaches, surf culture and the iconic silhouette of Diamond Head create a classic Hawaiian introduction.

French Polynesia's vibrant capital, Papeete blends colourful markets, waterfront cafés and Polynesian traditions with unmistakable French influences.

Jagged volcanic peaks rise above crystal-clear lagoons in Moorea, one of the South Pacific's most breathtaking islands, renowned for its spectacular natural beauty.

Ancient marae, lush mountains and tranquil lagoons reveal the rich cultural heritage of Raiatea, regarded as the spiritual heart of French Polynesia.

The final port of call is Tauranga, gateway to New Zealand's geothermal landscapes, Māori culture and the beautiful Bay of Plenty, before sailing into spectacular Sydney Harbour to conclude the journey.
