ROMANTIC ESCAPADE BORA BORA

Day 1: Bora Bora

Known as the most romantic island in the world, Bora Bora is surrounded by an inspiring lagoon, resembling an artist's palette of blues and greens, sparking a love at first sight with all its visitors.

Romantics from around the world have laid claim to this island where the castle-like Mount Otemanu pierces the sky. Lush tropical slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, while palm-covered motu circle the illuminated lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where colored fish animate the coral gardens as they greet the giant manta rays. This could be easily be described as the center of the romantic universe, where luxury resorts and spas dot the island with overwater bungalows, thatchedroof villas, and fabled ambience.

Disembark the ship in Vaitape as you are met by your guide and transferred to the Intercontinental Bora Bora & Thalasso Resort. After check-in, you are free to enjoy the afternoon at your leisure. From sunrise to sunset, each resort has designed their own blend of unique romantic experiences for their guests to choose from.

Located on Mount Piti Aau ("Two Hearts in Tahitian"), the Intercontinental Bora Bora resort and Thalasso-Spa was designed by Dr Treguer who created Monaco's thermal baths and operated under the supervision of the renowned Algotherm trademark. The architects and interior designers have combined Polynesian tradition and contemporary style, making this deluxe resort unique beyond compare.

Enjoy a unique opportunity to stay at one of the most precious resorts in Bora Bora. Relax and indulge yourself on the idyllic beach and take a breathtaking look at the amazing crystal waters surrounding you. Your overnight stay will include a romantic dinner with Champagne and a canoe breakfast served in your bungalow the following morning and one of the most luxurious accommodations available: an overwater bungalow.

You can simply relax or fill your time with some of the many activities the hotel offers, from Kayaks and canoes to snorkeling or indulging yourself in the hotel spa.

ROMANTIC - THALASSO RESORT

Special Note affecting the following cruises only - Marina Dec 27, Marina Jan 16 and Marina Jan 27:

Hotel InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa - Temporary Closure of the Swimming Pool & Spa: As a compensation for existing and future bookings, the hotel will post a 5000xpf (approx $50 USD) credit per couple on our guest's account that they can use at leisure on site.

Dear Partners,

For the past few weeks, we have been observing a major leak in the swimming pool of the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort and Thalasso Spa. Our investigation unfortunately leaves us with no other alternative than to close it for repair and this will happen between January 07, 2013 and February 28, 2013.

Since the pool and the Deep Ocean Spa share the same fresh water supply system, we will also be closing the Spa from January 21st, 2013 to February 28th, 2013, an opportunity to refurbish it. However, during this period, we will still provide massage services in 3 of our overwater villas, fully equipped for this service.

ROMANTIC ESCAPADE - PEARL

Known as the most romantic island in the world, Bora Bora is surrounded by an inspiring lagoon, resembling an artist's palette of blues and greens. For most visitors to Bora Bora, it's love at first sight.

Lush, tropical mountain slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, and palm-covered islets circle the illuminated lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters, where colorful fish animate the coral gardens. The ambiance couldn't be more romantic, especially within luxury resorts such as the Bora Bora Pearl.

Overland Program Step by Step:

Please note: The order of sites visited may vary to avoid congestion. Any times indicated are only approximate, and are given here for general reference purposes and are subject to change. The Destination Services Team on board will advise you on the ship of your departure and return times.

DAY ONE

After disembarking the ship, you will tender ashore and transfer to the Bora Bora Pearl Resort. The resort is located on the "motu" (meaning islet) Te Vairoa, a setting that exudes romance. Following check in, the remainder of the day is yours to enjoy as you please.

Relax on the terrace of your overwater bungalow, admiring the views of the surrounding lagoon and mountain peaks. Indulge in the services at the spa. Stroll the idyllic beach, pausing every so often in the shade of a swaying palm. Take an invigorating dip in the freshwater swimming pool. Or if you are feeling ambitious, enjoy water sports such as an outrigger canoe ride or snorkeling in the sea's crystal-clear waters. This is your time in paradise with no schedule to follow other than your own.

In the evening, as the resort becomes illuminated with soft lighting, the atmosphere becomes even more romantic and memorable. The ambiance is ideal for your romantic dinner, a special affair that's pure Polynesian. Afterwards, feel free to stroll about the resort before retiring in your thatched-roof bungalow that's perched over the water.

DAY TWO

In the morning, a traditional Polynesian outrigger canoe will glide up to your private terrace, and you'll be served a sumptuous breakfast. What an unforgettable way to start another day in paradise. After spending the remainder of the morning at leisure, you will transfer to the ship in Bora Bora.

Expected Weather:

The climate on the Island of Bora Bora and the rest of the Society Islands is considered tropical and can be divided into two basic seasons: the wet season and the dry season.

The wet season (November through April) is the Polynesian Summer and accounts for approximately three-quarters of the annual rainfall of French Polynesia. The humidity during this time can be quite heavy and muggy and cloud cover is common. Storms are frequent, brief and unpredictable. Temperatures generally range from 27 - 30 degrees C (80-86 degrees Fahrenheit), with the hottest months being February and March.

By contrast, the dry season (May through October) is the Polynesian winter. Temperatures generally range from 24-28 degrees C (75-82 degrees Fahrenheit) and rain is rare.

Temperature fluctuations from day to night are minimal.
