Ever since a Dutch explorer “discovered” the secluded island of Rapa Nui and its inhabitants on Easter morning in 1722, the world has puzzled over the island’s hundreds of enigmatic humanoid statues called moai. Lining the seashore and dotting the treeless landscape, the gigantic stone moai create an unparalleled cultural landscape and distinguish their creators — the Rapa Nui people — not only as members of the Polynesian tradition of stone carving, but as master craftsmen and engineers. Using simple Stone Age tools, the Rapa Nui sculptors carved the front of the moai from the island’s volcanic rock. Massive quarries have been found inside the three extinct volcanoes, some with incomplete statues partially whittled from the earth. After freeing the statues’ backs from the mother rock, they transported the moai to ceremonial stone platforms called ahus. But how? After all, some moai stand more than 32 feet tall and weigh up to 86 tons! Island legend says that the moai statues walked into place. The Rapa Nui even have a word for the movement, “neke,” which means “to creep.” Recently, researchers have demonstrated how the ancient Rapa Nui engineers could have stood the statues upright and shimmied them across the earth using ropes and teams of men — giving them the appearance of “walking with no legs.” POST-TRIP EXTENSION Make this a truly once-in-a-lifetime cruise experience with an optional 12-night extension in the same cabin aboard Crystal Symphony.

Ever since a Dutch explorer “discovered” the secluded island of Rapa Nui and its inhabitants on Easter morning in 1722, the world has puzzled over the island’s hundreds of enigmatic humanoid statues called moai. Lining the seashore and dotting the treeless landscape, the gigantic stone moai create an unparalleled cultural landscape and distinguish their creators — the Rapa Nui people — not only as members of the Polynesian tradition of stone carving, but as master craftsmen and engineers. Using simple Stone Age tools, the Rapa Nui sculptors carved the front of the moai from the island’s volcanic rock. Massive quarries have been found inside the three extinct volcanoes, some with incomplete statues partially whittled from the earth. After freeing the statues’ backs from the mother rock, they transported the moai to ceremonial stone platforms called ahus. But how? After all, some moai stand more than 32 feet tall and weigh up to 86 tons! Island legend says that the moai statues walked into place. The Rapa Nui even have a word for the movement, “neke,” which means “to creep.” Recently, researchers have demonstrated how the ancient Rapa Nui engineers could have stood the statues upright and shimmied them across the earth using ropes and teams of men — giving them the appearance of “walking with no legs.” POST-TRIP EXTENSION Make this a truly once-in-a-lifetime cruise experience with an optional 12-night extension in the same cabin aboard Crystal Symphony.

Ever since a Dutch explorer “discovered” the secluded island of Rapa Nui and its inhabitants on Easter morning in 1722, the world has puzzled over the island’s hundreds of enigmatic humanoid statues called moai. Lining the seashore and dotting the treeless landscape, the gigantic stone moai create an unparalleled cultural landscape and distinguish their creators — the Rapa Nui people — not only as members of the Polynesian tradition of stone carving, but as master craftsmen and engineers. Using simple Stone Age tools, the Rapa Nui sculptors carved the front of the moai from the island’s volcanic rock. Massive quarries have been found inside the three extinct volcanoes, some with incomplete statues partially whittled from the earth. After freeing the statues’ backs from the mother rock, they transported the moai to ceremonial stone platforms called ahus. But how? After all, some moai stand more than 32 feet tall and weigh up to 86 tons! Island legend says that the moai statues walked into place. The Rapa Nui even have a word for the movement, “neke,” which means “to creep.” Recently, researchers have demonstrated how the ancient Rapa Nui engineers could have stood the statues upright and shimmied them across the earth using ropes and teams of men — giving them the appearance of “walking with no legs.” POST-TRIP EXTENSION Make this a truly once-in-a-lifetime cruise experience with an optional 12-night extension in the same cabin aboard Crystal Symphony.
