Why this land-and-sea order beats a cruise-only booking: A standard Norwegian Papeete embarkation day often means jet-lagged families rushing from the airport to the pier. By placing three nights in a Westin Bora Bora 2-Bedroom Beach Bungalow first, you recover from the LAX overnight flight on the beach, enjoy dedicated resort time without port clocks, and board Norwegian Spirit rested — so Moorea, Raiatea, and the Pacific crossing feel like vacation from hour one, not recovery.
- Eliminate jet lag before embarkation — use the Westin lagoon days to reset sleep before Freestyle Cruising begins.
- Real Bora Bora resort time — not a rushed cruise call; swim, snorkel, and settle as a family before you sail.
- Smarter family cabin value — Family Oceanview keeps four guests together for the 12-day Papeete-to-Honolulu crossing without splitting rooms.

16-Day Itinerary: Papeete to Honolulu on Norwegian Spirit
Here is the day-by-day Norwegian Spirit Papeete to Honolulu itinerary for this family cruise-tour. Times are typical for “Kauai & Maui” sailings; alternate departures may call at Kailua-Kona instead of Kahului.
Day 1: Arrive Bora Bora — Westin Beach Bungalow
Land in Bora Bora and transfer by boat to Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa. Check into your 2 Bedroom Beach Bungalow — beachfront family space on the private motu, with room for two adults and two children to unpack and unwind.
Day 2: Bora Bora — Resort and lagoon day
A full resort day for swimming, snorkeling near the motu, non-motorized water sports, and easy beach time. This is the heart of the Bora Bora bungalow and Norwegian cruise combo — land first, sea later.
Day 3: Bora Bora — Final land day
Another leisurely day at the Westin. Optional lagoon excursions or simply more pool and beach time before tomorrow’s transfer to Papeete for embarkation.
Day 4: Fly to Papeete — Embark Norwegian Spirit
Inter-island air to Papeete, then pier transfer to board Norwegian Spirit. The ship typically departs about 10:00 PM. Settle into your Family Oceanview stateroom and explore Freestyle dining venues on embarkation night.
Day 5: Moorea, Society Islands
Arrive about 7:00 AM, depart about 8:00 PM. Moorea’s jagged peaks and lagoon make a classic first French Polynesia port — snorkeling, 4x4 inland tours, and pineapple plantation stops are popular family choices.
Day 6: Raiatea, Society Islands
Arrive about 7:00 AM, depart about 8:00 PM. Raiatea is the “sacred island,” known for marae temples, river trips, and lagoon scenery shared with neighboring Tahaʻa.
Day 7: Bora Bora, Society Islands
Arrive about 7:00 AM, depart about 7:00 PM. See Bora Bora again — this time from the cruise, with shark-and-ray snorkel tours and lagoon views of Mount Otemanu before the Pacific crossing begins.
Day 8: At Sea
First full sea day on the South Pacific crossing. Use the pools, Splash Academy / Entourage kids’ programs, and included specialty dining while Freestyle Cruising between French Polynesia and Hawaiʻi.
Day 9: At Sea
Continue across the Pacific. Unlimited open bar and Wi-Fi are included — a relaxed mid-crossing day for movies, spa appointments (extra), or simply deck time.
Day 10: At Sea
Mid-crossing sea day aboard Norwegian Spirit — sports court, jogging track, and evening shows in the Stardust Theater.
Day 11: At Sea
Another Freestyle sea day. A good time to plan Hawaiian shore excursions with your included excursion credits.
Day 12: At Sea
Final full sea day before Hawaiʻi. Pack shore bags for Hilo and enjoy one more evening of specialty dining and entertainment.
Day 13: Hilo, Island of Hawaiʻi
Arrive about 7:00 AM, depart about 4:00 PM. Hilo is the gateway to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, waterfalls, and black-sand beaches — a strong use of package excursion credits for families.
Day 14: Nāwiliwili, Kauaʻi
Arrive about 9:00 AM, depart about 5:00 PM. Kauaʻi’s “Garden Isle” offers Waimea Canyon lookouts, Wailua River scenery, and calm beaches near the port.
Day 15: Kahului, Maui
Arrive about 8:00 AM, depart about 5:00 PM. Maui port day for beach time, the Road to Hāna (full-day tours), or a shorter island overview before the final overnight sail to Oahu.
Day 16: Honolulu, Oahu — Disembark
Arrive about 6:00 AM and disembark in Honolulu. Connect to your included flight home from HNL, or extend with a Waikiki hotel night if you want more Oahu time — we can add that when you request a quote.
The Norwegian Spirit Papeete to Honolulu itinerary above reflects typical Kauai & Maui sailings. Ports and times can change by departure date — we confirm the final schedule when you book.
