8 Feb '27Cruise overview
Join us to sample part of the thrilling World Cruise 2027 in Papeete, capital of French Polynesia. We are bound for the romantic shores of Moorea, a cluster of peaks wrapped in a blue lagoon; Raiatea, steeped in local mythology; and the honeymooners’ favorite, lush Bora Bora. Next comes Pago Pago, capital of American Samoa, in the lee of mountains draped in rainforest. Next, we head to Apia in Samoa, crossing the International Date Line, followed by the dreamy island nation of Fiji. On we go to Port Vila in Vanuatu, to walk in the rainforest, Lifou, a tropical paradise in New Caledonia, and L’Iles des Pins, to explore a grotto created for a local queen. The Bay of Islands beckons in New Zealand, followed by cosmopolitan Auckland. From here, we head along the east coast to historic Tauranga, then Napier to see its Art Deco treasures, Wellington, the bustling modern capital, and Lyttleton, gateway to Christchurch. Next, Dunedin wows with its architecture before we embrace nature in Dusky Fjord, and Doubtful and Milford Sounds. Now to Australia and Burnie, Tasmania, for bush walks, Melbourne, bursting with cultural experiences, and Sydney, to see the famous Opera House. In Newcastle, we’ll raise a glass to the talented winemakers in the nearby Hunter Valley, before we reach the exciting city of Brisbane.
