The Pacific Islands refers to the approximately 20,000 to 30,000 islands of varying size that lie south of the tropic of Cancer in the Pacific Ocean, including Australia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. The warm climate of this region has created a tropical paradise of lush vegetation, colourful coral reefs, palm tree lined beaches, and sparkling turquoise waters. The people here are friendly and welcoming, and will share their fascinating history, local customs, and delicious food with you. The impressionist painter Paul Gauguin was inspired to create his most bold and bright masterpieces here, and you will be inspired by the vivid life of this part of the world as well on a Pacific Islands Cruise.
If even just picturing yourself on a Pacific Islands Cruise makes you smile, imagine how much fun you will have while visiting these destinations that have had a special place in your daydreams for so long. It is hard not to be deliriously happy when you are walking down a perfect white sand beach, watching the palm trees sway in the breeze, breathing in the smell of the sea and sinking your toes into the warm sand. As you travel around to the many ports on your Pacific Islands Cruise, you will find yourself greeted with an infectious warm and friendly welcome at every one. The people of this region are down to earth and friendly, and with such a beautiful sun-drenched paradise to call home, can you blame them? As you marvel at the colourful fish while scuba-diving in the shallow lagoons of the Cook Islands, swimming with dolphins in Tonga, or looking at historic churches in Samoa, you will find that your worries and cares are melting away and you are having the time of your life.
The nature of this part of the world makes it perfect for cruising. Because the Pacific Islands are made up of so many separate islands, some which are challenging to get to by other methods of transport, a Pacific Islands Cruise allows you to reach all of the destinations in this region with comfort and ease. You will be able to visit very isolated and private islands that you would have great difficulty getting to by any other means. By island-hopping around this area, you can see a huge number of diverse destinations in a short period of time. On your Pacific Islands Cruise, you will be provided with a huge choice of many different excursions, tours and activities to partake in at every port of call, giving you the change to really experience your destination to the fullest. Our friendly onboard staff members are your guide to the customs, history, and tradition of the Pacific Islands, and are there to ensure that you are happy and having fun!
Our luxury ocean liners are built with your comfort and enjoyment in mind, and are specifically designed so that you will never be bored on your voyage! There is always something to do, such as shopping in one of the many onboard stores, dining at the first class restaurants, treating yourself to a spa experience, or attending evening entertainment such as live music. The atmosphere aboard a Pacific Islands Cruise is laid back and fun and you will enjoy meeting new friends and having lots of laughs and great conversation.
If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, you can take a tour of Middle Earth in New Zealand, the location where Peter Jackson’s epic film adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel was filmed. From the barren volcanic wastelands that provided the backdrop for Mount Doom, to the green rolling hills where The Shire was recreated, New Zealand’s scenery seems too beautiful to be true! Sail aboard a glass-bottomed boat in Fiji to steal a glance at a colourful underwater wonderland. Why not take a jeep safari through the mountainous interior of Tahiti? You can haggle with sellers at a handicraft market in Tonga and find yourself the perfect souvenir of your adventure!
