Papeete, Tahiti, to Auckland, New Zealand on the Crystal Serenity

Cruise line: Crystal Cruises

Length of trip: 14 days

Prices start at: $4,549 per guest

The Crystal Serenity is doing a two-week cruise through French Polynesia and the South Pacific, starting in Tahiti and stopping in Tonga and Fiji before docking in New Zealand.

The ship has been around for 17 years but just underwent a dramatic renovation in 2018. The re-design included the implementation of an open-plan dining space that eliminated the classic assigned seating trope found on traditional cruises as well as updated and expanded cabins. The renovations brought the ship's carrying capacity down 9% to 980 passengers.
