Papeete to Cairns, 26 January 2029

Cruise overview

Departing Papeete, capital of French Polynesia, we call first at beautiful Bora Bora, beloved by honeymooners. Two days at sea bring us to Pago Pago in American Samoa, which shelters in the lee of mountains draped in rainforest. Next, we cross the International Date Line to reach Apia in Samoa, where you can visit the famous writer Robert Louis Stevenson’s restored home. Another day at sea brings us to the dreamy island nation of Fiji, where we call at Savusavu, known for its geothermal hot springs, and Lautoka, close to vibrant coral reefs. French-influenced Nouméa, capital of New Caledonia, is next, and then more time at sea brings us to Australia. Here, we have two days in Cairns, where you can discover the underwater marvels of the Great Barrier Reef, take a cable car to the rainforest retreat of Kuranda, and stroll through bustling open-air markets.
