  9. Cruise Port Spotlight: Papeete, Tahiti

    Papeete, Tahiti&rsquo;s capital and gateway to many South Pacific voyages, has a cosmopolitan French/Polynesian ambiance and many natural and cultural attractions. And chances are good that travelers who go to Papeete to embark on a cruise to the Society Islands and other isles of the South Pacific, will have more than a day to enjoy the city and surrounding areas. Flights typically arrive at Tahiti-Faa&rsquo;a International Airport in the evening from the west coast of the U.S. and cruise ships generally dock overnight there before setting sail in late afternoon, and on the return, vessels usually also overnight in Papeete and flights back to the U.S. depart in the evening the next day.
