Haumana Cruises

Update (Aug 2020)

It is with great sadness that Haumana Cruise has permanently shut down after four years of operating of French Polynesian cruises to the English- and French-speaking markets, due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Archival Review (last updated Dec 2017)

Headquartered in French Polynesia, Haumana Cruises offers short three-night catamaran cruises that can be easily combined with a resort island stay to make it worthwhile to come all this way. This revived cruise line shut down in 2011 due to the recession and in June 2016 started up again with an Australian-built catamaran cruiser for up to 27 passengers. Huamana means Spirit of Peace.

The high season rates will be a guide to the best time to go. However, the best months are May to October, the driest and with the lowest humidity. November to April is hot, humid and rainy with torrents falling in December and January.

Three categories, with two offering queen-size beds and double windows, and one forward-facing suite with king-size bed.
