Services
The first service aboard a French vessel should be a refined
cooking.
Breakfast is ready around 7:30 a.m. Begin each new day
of your cruise, with an abundance of wonderful cuisine. From
the outside cockpit table, with all the lagoon light blue around,
you can choose to appreciate some delicious pancakes or a fresh
fruit salad together, talking with the captain who explains
to you the day's program -- or simply have a quiet time with
a strong cup of coffee just after a refreshing morning swim
in the lagoon.
Lunch should not cut the day. It is a mix of fresh salads,
tartes, and desserts. Sometimes, according to the excursion
program, a good picnic is organized ashore.
Dinner is the highlight of your day. After the sunset
cocktails, it is ready around 7:30 p.m. and is more gastronomical
with a fusion of French, Italian, Tahitian and exotic cooking.
Beverages: Included in the rate are the breakfast fruit
juices, a good table wine during meals, and always on hand is
cold, natural "citronade." Soft drinks, a good variety of fine
wines and alcohols or cocktails are available "a la carte."
These will be charged at the end of the cruise.
Rooms & Housekeeping:
- Cabins and bathrooms are perfectly cleaned and prepared daily.
- Sheets are regularly changed every three days.
- General accommodation's perfect cleanliness is one of our
standards.
Activities: Our crew members can be your guide or help
for any kind of nautical activitiy included in the cruise (snorkelling,
fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, lagoon & reef discovery by dinghie...)
They always give you a lot of precious information how to learn
about and to protect the so fragile coral ecosystem.
Inland Activities: Inside the islands during excursions
you will be guided by one of the crew or by specialized guides.
Transfers: You will be welcomed from the embarkment point
airport to the boat, and bid farewell at the disembarkment point
after the cruise, carrying with you fond memories of your time
in Paradise. |

 Archipels
welcomes more than 1,000 international passengers per year for intimate,
leisurely and enjoyable voyages in the celebrated islands of Polynesia.

appeal to seasoned travelers and feature the luxury amenities and
services of some of the world's finest hotels.

yachts feature four air-conditioned cabins, private bathrooms, a
vast salon with panoramic views and a spacious 150 square meter
