8 Bora Bora Raiatea Tahaa SOUTH PACIFIC Huahine Moorea SOCIETY ISLANDS Papeete TAHITI DEPARTING FROM PAPEETE, TAHITI, FRENCH POLYNESIA FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2016 EMBARKATION: 1:00 P.M. 10:00 P.M. DEPART: 11:59 P.M. 8-DAY CRUISE ITINERARY A Christian cruise conference to the South Pacific is an exercise in relaxation and wonder. These volcanic islands are world-renowned for gorgeous beaches, lush tropical mountains and teeming coral reefs. Surrounded by the fascinating culture of French Polynesia and crystalline lagoons, you ll wonder what took you so long to travel this far west. All dates and locations subject to change. MOOREA, FRENCH POLYNESIA SATURDAY, JULY 30, 2016, 6:00 A.M. 6:00 P.M. Heart-shaped and punctuated by towering peaks, the island of Moorea has long been a favorite destination of travelers and honeymooners in French Polynesia. It s more romantic, more remote and perhaps more peaceful than neighboring Tahiti, which is one reason this is the island Tahitians visit on their own vacations. Once described by Arthur Frommer as the world s most beautiful island, Moorea is surrounded by a shallow lagoon, home to a number of resorts known for their exotic overwater bungalows. TAHAA, FRENCH POLYNESIA SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2016, 8:00 A.M. 5:00 P.M. Considered a sister island to the larger Raiatea, Tahaa is enclosed by the same coral reef that encompasses its companion giving both islands a reputation for world-class diving, windsurfing and sportfishing. The majority of Tahiti s vanilla production takes place on this flower-shaped island and the wonderful fragrance permeates its lush shores. Tours of local vanilla plantations are popular with cruise guests. RAIATEA, FRENCH POLYNESIA SUNDAY, JULY 31, 10:00 P.M. MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 10:00 P.M. Though the largest of French Polynesia s Leeward Islands, Raiatea is also one of the quietest and least urban cruise ports in the South Pacific. While a place of untamed beauty and stunning reef-bordered lagoons, its local reputation is more religious than scenic: locals know Raiatea as the sacred island, and its pre- Christian religious traditions viewed it as the birthplace of the human race. Don t miss its many architectural sites, outdoor temples and historical tours. BORA BORA, FRENCH POLYNESIA TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 8:00 A.M. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 9:00 P.M. There s a reason Bora Bora has long been one of the most popular destinations in the South Pacific. This small island of 4,600 inhabitants first gained western attention when the U.S. used it as a military base during World War II. Since then, its gorgeous beaches, stunning volcanic topography and turquoise lagoons have earned it a reputation as a vacationer s paradise and brought decades of honeymooners and paradise-seekers to its overwater bungalows. HUAHINE, FRENCH POLYNESIA THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 2016, 7:00 A.M. 6:00 P.M. This isolated island is known for its history and slow pace of life. Home to ancient coral and stone temples and less than 5,000 residents, Huahine is actually two small islands separated by the spectacular Maroe Bay all of it surrounded by a coral reef. Its mountains are covered in banana trees and wild hibiscus. Its beaches are feathered with soft, white sand. And the atmosphere of its quaint villages, day in and day out, is one of peace, relaxation and friendship. CONCLUDING IN PAPEETE, TAHITI FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2016 DEBARKATION: 10:00 A.M.

9 KNOWN EXPERIENCES Luau Dinner Experience in Bora Bora The first Hawaiians migrated from Polynesia, and their cultures have been tied together ever since. Relax under the palm trees and South Pacific stars during this intimate, exclusive Hawaiian luau dinner. In this once-in-a-lifetime beachside setting, you ll fellowship with other like-minded believers and Insight for Living Ministries supporters. Steve Green Evening Concert on the Deck of the Ship As the ship leaves Raiatea, you ll see the steep cliffs striated in shades of white, light green, pink, black and brown. As you enjoy a vista that is unequaled in the region, you ll hear the beautiful music of Steve Green from the ship s deck as we sail through the beautiful French Polynesian Islands. Bible Heroes Brought to Life Reg Grant Dramatizations The lives of beloved Bible characters like Abraham, Moses and David are familiar to most believers. But you ll never think about them the same way again after theologian and dramatist Reg Grant brings them to life in his entertaining and thought-provoking monologues.
