Best time to travel to the Pacific area????Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea | ||
Hello, I want to sponsor a cruise for my mom to the Pacific but I have not idea what time of year is the most ideal for a cruise to this area OR which cruise line to take. Lesley | ||
You will probably be best travellingbetween April and October when the weather is cooler and less humid(the islands are in the tropics) and there is less chance of cyclones. | 1 | |
The usual cruiselines travel in the South Pacific. If you are flying in via Los Angeles, I would recommend cruises starting in Tahiti. You could check out two locally owned ships, the Paul Gauguin and the Aranui3. I only know the Aranui from personal experience. It is a freighter cum cruise ship and a great experience. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Guided land excursions, food on board and land, wine with dinner included. | 2 | |
