Unspoiled Secrets of the South Pacific
20 nights
Star Breeze
17 Dec '27Cruise overview
Immerse yourself in relaxing solitude and remote Pacific Island cultures on this 20-night voyage to lesser-known South Pacific tropical havens. Wander authentic Fijian villages and uncrowded white-sand beaches on Yasawa I Rara Island, a reclusive setting only opened to tourism in the 1980s. Discover why travelers adore Vanuatu, where near Port Vila you can savor tropical fruits, swim in refreshing waterfalls, and experience the warm hospitality and vibrant traditions of this 80-island nation. In the Solomon Islands, learn somber details of Guadalcanal and fierce World War II engagements at museums and memorials in Honiara. Dish up taro, sago puddings, and Papua New Guinea specialties during a clay-pot cooking class near Alotau’s beaches. Watch lumbering Komodo dragons stalk the rocky shorelines of Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Conclude your journey with an enriching overnight stay in Benoa, Bali, where you can dine on delicious shellfish along scenic southern beaches and enjoy unhurried time to explore the island’s rich cultural heritage.
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.
