My husband Ray and I consider ourselves to be world travellers, well at least in the South Pacific where we have ventured several times now.

This winter we took an 18-day cruise from Valparaiso, Chile to the beautiful islands of Tahiti. This amazing cruise aboard Oceania Cruise Lines, Pacific Marina made 7 stops including Robinson Crusoe Island, Easter Island (the most important stop on this trip for us), and Pitcairn Island. We stopped at the atolls of Fakarava, Rangiora, the island of Bora Bora and finally  Tahiti.

This was our first cruise with Oceania and we were excited because we had heard it is a wonderful cruise line with amazing food, and great people. Easter Island has always been on our personal bucket list and with this itinerary and with this cruise line, we were sure this was going to be a fantastic voyage, one we could take off our personal travel bucket list.
