Say goodbye to Papeete, capital of French Polynesia, as we head to the romantic shores of Moorea, a cluster of peaks wrapped in a blue lagoon; Raiatea, a magical place steeped in local mythology, and the honeymooners’ favorite, lush Bora Bora. Two leisurely days at sea, enjoying all our ship has to offer, bring us to Pago Pago, capital of American Samoa, which shelters in the lee of mountains draped in rainforest. Crossing the international date line, we arrive in the dreamy island nation of Fiji to call at the little capital of Suva and Lautoka, known for its sugarcane plantations. On we go to Port Vila in Vanuatu, to walk in the rainforest, before reaching the tropical paradise of New Caledonia, where we visit Lifou, with its gorgeous powder sands, the capital Nouméa, blending French bistros and chic shopping, and L’Île des Pins, home to a grotto created for a local queen. After two sea days, the delightful Bay of Islands in New Zealand beckons, followed by cosmopolitan Auckland. From here, we head along the east coast to Napier to see its Art Deco treasures, then Wellington, the bustling modern capital. Finally, three relaxing days at sea bring us to Melbourne, Australia, our journey’s end.

Raiatea, French Polynesia

feb 15, 2028

7:00 AM - 8:00 PM

This halcyon island is as spiritual as it is beautiful. The second-largest of the Society Islands after Tahiti, Raiatea is the ancient ancestral home of the Polynesian people and, legend has it, the birthplace of gods. While neighboring Bora Bora is a magnet for visitors, Raiatea has a serenity that's unmatched, thanks in no small part to its sacred place in Polynesian history and culture. Learn more at Taputapuatea marae, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which would have been used as a ceremonial and social space, and a point where the human and spiritual worlds met. Elsewhere, while Raiatea doesn't have the impressive beaches found on other islands, its mountainous interior offers calf-stretching hikes with glorious views, while its impossible clear waters reward divers with shipwrecks and a colorful array of marine life.

Pago Pago, American Samoa

feb 19, 2028

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

It's all about the welcome in the beautiful port of Pago Pago (pronounced Pango Pango), on the shores of a deep natural harbor in the shadow of jungle-cloaked Mount Pioa – more lyrically known as Rainmaker Mountain. This is a place that has long-established, valued customs and traditions, passed down the generations over many centuries, where the offer of a drink made from the kava root has been turned into a ritual, Sunday is still a day of rest, and myths, legends and a turbulent history are shared through storytelling, dance, crafts and, of course, tattoos. But the capital of American Samoa is also a modern urban center with shops and sights including the Jean P. Haydon Museum, with its displays of war canoes, jewelry made from coconut shells and seeds, and a curious exhibition about the island chain's role in the U.S. Apollo Space Missions

4 EXCURSIONS

The French overseas territory of New Caledonia lies in the south-western Pacific about 750 miles off the east coast of Australia. Lifou is east of the little nation's mainland and is the largest of New Caledonia's four Loyalty Islands. Around its coast are high cliffs, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. The rich vegetation of the interior supports a wealth of vivid birds, from red and black New Caledonian myzomelas to yellow and grey fantailed gerygones. In addition, the island is dotted with vanilla plantations. Cruise ships call in at Easo in the north-west, anchoring just off land, with tenders taking passengers ashore; beaches stretch either side of the dock. An old missionary chapel, Notre Dame de Lourdes, is strikingly set on cliffs above the bay and can be reached on foot. Other activities include snorkeling in the marine reserve of Jinek Bay, just west of Easo; swimming at secluded Kiki beach a couple of miles south; and visiting the island's main settlement, the village of We, on the east coast, about half an hour's drive across the island.

Having served as the South Pacific headquarters for the U.S. military during World War II, the main island of New Caledonia, called Grande Terre, has played a prominent role on the world stage. These days, the island's sunny weather and natural beauty have taken the spotlight. Noumea has a distinctly French flair with fine restaurants and designer boutiques. Off shore are the vast barrier reefs and the largest lagoon complex in the world.

Pine Island, New Caledonia

feb 28, 2028

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Anchor

Are we in paradise? You might think so from the look of this self-described forest of araucaria pines lassoed by soft sand and clear seas. In fact, L'Île des Pins is the name of the main island, next to which sits another, Kômoto, and a cluster of islets. Along with Walpole island, 150 miles east, this is part of New Caledonia, and while it may be the furthest flung of France's territories, they bake a tasty baguette at the boulangerie in the main town, Vao, and the local delicacy is a giant snail. There is a natural pool for swimming and snorkeling, the cave grotto of a local queen to investigate, and a beachfront statue of St Maurice encircled by totem poles serves as a reminder of both indigenous and colonial influences. There also a darker side of the island to uncover at the ruins of the prison that once held hundreds of revolutionaries from the defeated Paris Commune and, later, Algerian rebels, and the graveyard where many were buried.

Wellington, New Zealand

mar 06, 2028

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Arrive in Wellington and its ambitious spirit is clear to see in the skyline of shiny towers. Yet New Zealand's capital is a friendly place with an independent air, where just wandering around the streets is a pleasure, stopping for a great coffee or a glass of locally brewed craft beer. You can delve a little deeper into New Zealand's culture and history at the national museum, Te Papa Tongeriwa, on the waterfront, with stories and objects from pre-colonial days. In fact, at Zealandia, you can travel even further back in time – this urban eco-sanctuary is attempting to restore nature to its pre-human state. Movie fans won't want to miss a tour of the Weta Workshop, the film effects company that worked on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit among other blockbusters. But find time, too, for a ride on the cable car to the Kelburn Lookout for a spectacular overview.
