- Rarotonga is the most populous of the Cook Islands archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean. Its craggy volcanic beauty and protected lagoons set Rarotonga apart from its neighbors in the island chain, which have been more eroded by time and water. Visiting Rarotonga and the Cook Islands by cruise ship affords you the opportunity to explore the chain by water, as European explorers and the islanders' Polynesian ancestors did.
