ARMCHAIR TRAVELERS: FRENCH POLYNESIA

Cruise the turquoise waters of the South Pacific to the remote, exotic Marquesas on a combines working cargo / passenger ship, the link to the rest of the world for these islands. Along the way, stop at Tahiti, Fakarava, Rangiroa, Bora Bora, and Moorea – the islands of Paul Gaugin and Captain Bligh, black pearl farmers and ancient tiki sculptors, where lush volcanic peaks rise dramatically from the ocean and peaceful lagoons ring coral atolls. Presented by Barbara Sugden and Ron Vargason.
