How many days is the trip and does it include a stay on Moorea? Also, is it cruise type cuisine and did you ever get tired of being confined on the boat?

Thanks.

You can choose : 2 weeks including 2 days on sea and 2 days in the Tuamotu (lagoon and fantastic beach) or you can take the plane to Nuku Hiva and only do the Marquesas on one week and return by plane to Tahiti, wich is a good solution if you're not sure you're going to like the life on sea.
The chef is french and combine nice local fish with french cuisine. The food is really good and the wine (red and white) is included.
And really, life on the boat is nice and during the marquesas, you're on board only at nights as the boat is living from one island to another during your sleep so you don't get bored off the sea life.
You only have 2 full sea days (if you're staying the 2 weeks).
And no, it doesn't include a day in Moorea, but as it's a 7 minute flight (or 30 minutes boat) from Tahiti, you can combined it with the cruise (what i did).
Moorea is really the suburb of Tahiti (lots of people working in Papeete and living in Moorea). And the plane ticket is like 15 dollars.
And Moorea is nothing compared to what i saw in the Marquesas, really.
