Easter Island & Pitcairn: 15-Night Crystal Lima to Tahiti Cruise

This 15-night Crystal voyage is for travelers drawn to remote places that are hard to reach any other way. Crystal Symphony leaves Callao, the port of Lima, on January 29, 2028, crosses the South Pacific to an overnight at Easter Island, continues to Pitcairn Island and then the atolls of French Polynesia, ending in Papeete on February 13. It is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, with warm days throughout.

The overnight at Easter Island is the anchor of the trip. Rapa Nui is famous for its moai statues, and highlights include the quarry at Rano Raraku, where many moai were carved, and the row of statues at Ahu Tongariki. Pitcairn Island is home to a tiny community descended from the HMS Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. Landing there is weather-dependent and not always possible, which is part of its mystique.

French Polynesia closes the voyage with three very different islands. Fakarava is a UNESCO biosphere reserve, prized by divers and snorkelers for its clear lagoon and marine life. Rangiroa is one of the largest atolls in the world, known for dolphins and sharks at its passes. Huahine is lush and quiet, with ancient marae and a slow island pace. Papeete, on Tahiti, is the place to connect to flights home or extend your stay.

Crystal Symphony is a refurbished classic Crystal ship, known for gracious service and a sophisticated atmosphere. Beverages, gratuities and most specialty dining are generally included in the fare. With eight sea days, life on board is a big part of the experience, so comfort matters. We will let you know exactly what is included in your fare.
