“Our South Seas cruise has not included glitzy floor shows or casinos.
But nights on Ti’a Moana’s (one of two Bora Bora Cruises’ Yachts) upper deck,
spent locating the Southern Cross and watching for shooting stars in the
galactic expanse, have hardly been dull. And with her access to the tiny
Polynesian motu and lagoons, Ti’a Moana has exposed us to a new
universe.”
ROBB REPORT
“Luxury comes in many guises, but few can match the heady combination
of jaw-dropping natural beauty, a rich, colorful and vibrant culture and two
private super-yachts that are the cornerstones of Bora Bora Cruises.”
LUXURY TRAVEL
“One of the most distinctive advantages of the yachts over the
cruise-ship competition – aside from their intimacy and luxuriousness – is
the yachts astoundingly short draft (7.5 feet), which allows them to venture
into waters where not one else can go. The yachts cruise the lagoons of
Bora Bora and Huahine, as well as the spectacular lagoon that encloses both
Raiatea and Taha’a.”
TRUMP WORLD MAGAZINE
“The 70 passengers are like a family, and the family gets to do some
pretty enchanting things, all included in the fare price, during seven-night
cruises. In addition to movies on a deserted islet, passengers are invited
to breakfast in a lagoon, where, ankle-deep in warm, turquoise water, with
soft white sand underfoot, they sit at white-linen-set tables, dining on eggs
and pastries, island fruits and French Champagne.”
SUNDAY OREGONIAN
“For style these boats win hands down. The two smart cruisers are like
trendy hotels on waves… The ultra-slick décor is softened with traditional
Tahitian sculptures, floral pieces and a gallery of black and white photos
of Tahitian culture.”
SUNDAY TIMES TRAVEL (UK)
“Escapism, honeymooning, Polynesian culture and simple island addiction
are other compelling reason to make the cruise.”
DESTINATIONS (NZ)
“South Seas escapade… A week–long voyage aboard a luxurious yacht off
the coast of Bora Bora is punctuated by swarms of manta rays, loincloth-clad
locals and massages on the motu.”
ANGELENO (US)
“Life on board - the sleek contemporary interiors, and the sublime food and
service – is only part of the Bora Bora Cruises concept. Although it is
tempting to spend all one’s time on the sun deck’s teak steamer, melon
daiquiri in one hand, salmon roulade in the other… BBC also provides a range
of innovative excursions.”
PLATINUM MAGAZINE(amex)
“An upscale entourage can charter Bora Bora Cruises for visits to
Raiatea, Huahine, Taha’a and Bora Bora. The 226-foot TU MOANA and TI’A MOANA
yachts only have 30 cabins, and because they only have a seven-foot draft,
they can navigate the shallow lagoons and offer unparalleled access to the
motus.”
LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR(US)
“Bora Bora Cruises was born and the result of Degage’s vision, the TU
MOANA and TI’A MOANA, surely two of the most stunning craft afloat
anywhere”
CENTURION (amex)
“Reach one of the most exquisite yachts available to the general public.
Two Australian-built, custom made ships carry up to 60 guests on six-night
tours of the islands. My favorite events was movie night, when the crafty
staff tied “movie screen” between two coconut trees on the beach and served
popcorn. The onboard cuisine is similar to that found at famed restaurant
Jean Georges.”
GOTHAM (NY US 2006)
“Who could believe a yacht could have its own French Chefs to make
anything your heart (or stomach) desired. Not to mention the outstanding
service where the last sentence uttered by our waiter, Jordie, is “my pleasure”
in his French accent… The only fault with Tu Moana is you eventually have to
leave.
TRAVEL CORP. MAG. (UK 2004)
“Bora Bora Cruises... The two smart cruisers are like trendy hotels on
the waves… The ultra-slick décor is softened with traditional Tahitian
sculptures, floral pieces and a gallery of black and white photos of Tahitian
culture… For style, these boats win hands down.”
THE SUNDAY TIMES TRAVEL (UK 2005)
“We were pampered in a galaxy far, far away. A well traveled and trained
international staff read our minds and catered to every want and need… The
food on the Ti’a Moana, a stylish Tahitian-owned yacht, is the best we’ve ever
had on a ship, and it offered the best French food we’ve had in years.”
BANGKOK POST (Thailand 2005)
”I boarded the Ti’a Moana… The vessel offers sumptuous appointments,
attentive service, meticulous attention to details and delicious food…
Michael SHULMAN, OCEAN DRIVE (US 05)
“Meet Mata he is not your typical cruise ship entertainer – but this is
not your typical cruise.
Bora Bora Cruises was founded by Mehiti Degage, a Tahitian business woman.
Because of the narrowness of the gaps in the coral rings that access the
lagoons, and the shallowness of the lagoons themselves, large ships cannot
cruise those waters. So Degage commissioned two shallow-keel luxury yachts,
had them fitted out to the standards of the finest boutique hotels, and
adorned the decks, guest spaces and corridors with exquisite original
Polynesian art and furniture from top Italian design houses.”
Mike CARTER, THE OBSERVER (UK)
”Nomade yachting by Bora Bora Cruises, a South Pacific dream come true…
Our accommodation lay upon a gorgeous lagoon of brilliant blues and greens,
with a direct view of the mysterious Otemanu.
For the next seven days,the elegant and very exclusive luxury yacht
“Ti’a Moana” was to be our new home…”
