While on our honeymoon cruise my wife and I found an interesting way to get to Easter Island.

At dinner every night we sat with a couple that worked for princess cruise lines and told us about an unadvertised cruise princess does once a year.

In august of every year they move a ship from Fiji to Ft. Lauderdale. The trip takes 24 days and at one point you are at sea for 10 days straight. It stops at Easter IslanD, Lima peru, cartagena columbia, thru the panama canal, to costa rica, mexico, and the standard Caribbean stops before porting in Ft. Lauderdale. $2400 a person/double. Since we are in Orlando it is just a short bus ride home after retuning.

We are going to use our skymiles to get to Hawaii, then fly Hawaiian Airlines to Tahiti to catch the ship. Total cost will be a little over 6k, but that is not bad for the amount of ground we are going to cover.
