 Photo credit: Hiva Oa Tahiti Tourism I was first “introduced” to the Marquesas Islands back in 2002—courtesy of one of the earliest seasons of Survivor. I use the word introduced lightly. It was television, after all, and reality TV at that. Still, those dramatic landscapes—raw, wild, and impossibly beautiful—left a lasting impression. Even then, I knew this was a place unlike anywhere else in the South Pacific.

An Under The Radar Polynesian Gem A little like Hawaii 50 years ago (except no crowds and many more modern conveniences). A bit like Tahiti except much more affordable. A big slice of paradise. Yet largely undiscovered by North American travelers.
This would be the Cook Islands. 15 beautiful and lush islands make up this Polynesian archipelago, with stunning white sand beaches, volcanic peaks, turquoise lagoons, beautiful coral reefs, laid back lifestyle and some of the friendliest, if not the friendliest, people in the world. The islands remain unspoiled, with no chain restaurants and no buildings higher than the tallest coconut tree! In fact, that's the law. How can you go wrong? When you are looking to explore unique and intimate ports of call, look no further than small ship cruises. With under 600 passengers, ships are small enough to sail into areas that big ships can't even dream of. But don't be fooled - small ships offer big and unforgettable experiences. Here are eight destinations that have caught our attention.  Photo courtesy of Star Clipper Cruises
