Tui Tai is the only luxury-adventure ship operating in the Pacific Cultural Triangle, providing guests a remarkable look at three distinct cultures that history and circumstance have put together within a nearby triangle of islands. In addition to visiting islands where indigenous Fijians live, Tui Tai sails to islands where Polynesians and Micronesians were relocated after World War II, and where the villagers live in their historically natural ways. Only the Pacific Cultural Triangle offers adventurers a chance to experience such strikingly different cultures and histories during a one-week visit.
Instead of just walking through a village as a curious tourist, a Tui Tai Guest can get involved, establish relationships, provide important services, deliver supplies, teach about resource management, and share new resources. The Tui Tai is now seen by islanders as bringing assistance, support, encouragement, and new friends – not just tourists. Villagers welcome Tui Tai guests in ways tourists on conventional vacations could not reasonably expect: With love, gratitude, entertainment, music, positive anticipation, and deep friendship.
