January 6th to 12th – Seven Sea Days

When you sail from Los Angeles to French Polynesia, there's an awful lot of sea to cross before you hit dry land. But, those 7 days at sea don't drag – what with cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, Crossing The Equator ceremonies, Destination Lectures, exercise classes, dance classes, and language lessons amongst many other activities (aside from the usual eating and drinking like royalty).

We've been blessed by smooth seas and warm temperatures which always ensures a happy ship, and there seems to be a very jolly atmosphere onboard - which is a good thing, seeing as many of us will be spending the next 4 months together!.
