About Taha'a Island
Taha'a Island serves as a scenic port of call in French Polynesia's Society Islands, drawing three distinguished cruise lines including Silversea, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, and PONANT EXPLORATIONS. With 58 upcoming cruises and a strong presence of 7-night itineraries, this intimate island offers a more exclusive cruising experience compared to busier Pacific ports. Taha'a typically welcomes visitors during the peak season from December through April and again in October, making it an increasingly popular stop for discerning travelers seeking the authentic South Pacific.
When your ship arrives, you'll discover a quieter, more authentic side of French Polynesia. The island's renowned vanilla plantations and pearl farms provide fascinating glimpses into local commerce and culture, while the surrounding turquoise lagoon invites water-based exploration. Most cruises visiting Taha'a also include nearby islands like Raiatea, Bora-Bora, and Moorea, allowing you to experience the region's diverse landscapes and island communities during your voyage.
