Ultimate Luxury: French Polynesia
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built around the highest tier of accommodation French Polynesia has to offer, and around the freedom to move between islands without waiting on ferry schedules. Private planes and helicopters cover the inter-island transfers, which on an itinerary spanning several atolls saves real time otherwise lost to inter-island logistics. The islands themselves remain the point.

Luxury Fiji Island-Hopping: Mamanuca Islands and Taveuni
Tailor-made VacationTwo islands, two different versions of Fiji, one itinerary. This twelve-day itinerary moves between two regions that show different sides of the country: the Mamanuca Islands, all lagoon and white sand, and Taveuni, known across Fiji as the Garden Island for its waterfalls, rainforest, and reef. Rather than choosing one, this itinerary gives each region enough time to be more than a stop along the way.
