Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia and the cruise gateway to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora. Ships dock at the Papeete Cruise Terminal on the downtown waterfront, a short walk from the Marché Municipal and Place Vai'ete's evening food trucks (les roulottes). Most itineraries pair Papeete with tender-only calls at Moorea and Bora Bora. French and Tahitian are spoken; US dollars are widely accepted alongside the CFP franc.
