Radisson has the Paul Gauguin (320 pax) year round in the South Pacific and either the Voyager or the Mariner (both 700 pax) sail through once a year as part of their Circle the Pacific cruise (we're going from AKL to Bay of Islands, Raratonga, Bora Bora, Moorea, Tahiti, Rangiroa, Nuku Hiva, LAX this November). This year they also have Navigator (490 pax (I think)) doing a R/T out of LAX to Hawaii and Tahiti. Check out
www.rssc.com and click on Plan Your Voyage and then South Pacific. I would consider RSSC luxury, maybe not the same as Seaborn or Silversea; but very nice.
