6 Sep '26Cruise overview
Archipelagos emerge in the immensity of the South Pacific, lost between an enchanted ocean and a captivating sky. Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia… These legendary lands, shrouded in secrecy, unveil their greatest mysteries. Between crystal-clear lagoons and volcanic mountains draped in greenery, each horizon reveals a promise of pristine landscapes, vibrant traditions and timeless moments.
As you sail to the different ports of call, you will fall under the spell of the turquoise water in the lagoons in which Manta rays and other tropical fish glide around. The infinite beaches, edged with palm trees and bathed in light, offer limitless serenity. The singing and dancing in the villages recount the history of these communities, who remain guardians of an intact culture. Between the quiet waters of Motu Mahana, the wild shores of Rarotonga and the majestic silhouettes of Moorea, each moment is bewitching. While the scent of Tahitian flowers floats in the air, the golden glow dusk lights up the landscapes, thus transforming each instant into a unique moment.
Itinerary
Lautoka
North of Nadi through sugarcane plantations and past the Sabeto Mountains is Lautoka, nicknamed the Sugar City for the local agriculture and its big processing mill. With a population of around 50,000, it’s the only city besides Suva and, like the capital, has a pleasant waterfront. It’s the sailing point for Blue Lagoon and Beachcomber Cruises but is otherwise unremarkable for tourists, itself having few hotels and fewer good restaurants. Locals recommend the city as a less-expensive place to shop for clothing, but note that it can take as long as 45 minutes to drive here. Legend has it that Lautoka acquired its name when two chiefs engaged in combat and one hit the other with a spear. He proclaimed “lau toka” (spear hit) and thus the future town was named.
