Departing Lautoka in Fiji, our first stop is Port Vila in Vanuata, where you can take a dip in one of the island’s brilliant blue swimming holes. Next, we call by three destinations in New Caledonia: Lifou, where you can visit a vanilla plantation, Nouméa, the capital, where there are lively markets to browse, and Île des Pins, home to Grotte Oumagne, a cave dedicated to a queen, studded with huge stalactites. Two days at sea take us to the bustling cities and epic landscapes of New Zealand – with one relaxing sea day in the middle. Experience the wild majesty of Bay of Islands, vibrant Auckland, the wine regions of Napier, and the cultural attractions of the capital, Wellington. Revel in life onboard for three more lazy days at sea before the trendsetting city of Melbourne comes into view.

4 EXCURSIONS

Lifou, New Caledonia picture
The French overseas territory of New Caledonia lies in the south-western Pacific about 750 miles off the east coast of Australia. Lifou is east of the little nation's mainland and is the largest of New Caledonia's four Loyalty Islands. Around its coast are high cliffs, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. The rich vegetation of the interior supports a wealth of vivid birds, from red and black New Caledonian myzomelas to yellow and grey fantailed gerygones. In addition, the island is dotted with vanilla plantations. Cruise ships call in at Easo in the north-west, anchoring just off land, with tenders taking passengers ashore; beaches stretch either side of the dock. An old missionary chapel, Notre Dame de Lourdes, is strikingly set on cliffs above the bay and can be reached on foot. Other activities include snorkeling in the marine reserve of Jinek Bay, just west of Easo; swimming at secluded Kiki beach a couple of miles south; and visiting the island's main settlement, the village of We, on the east coast, about half an hour's drive across the island.

Noumea, New Caledonia picture
The vibrant capital of New Caledonia, where French elegance meets South Pacific charm in a stunning blend of soft sand beaches, diverse marine life, and a rich fusion of cultures. Having served as the South Pacific headquarters for the U.S. military during World War II, the main island of New Caledonia, called Grande Terre, has played a prominent role on the world stage. These days, the island's sunny weather and natural beauty have taken the spotlight. Noumea has a distinctly French flair with fine restaurants and designer boutiques. Off shore are the vast barrier reefs and the largest lagoon complex in the world.

Pine Island, New Caledonia

feb 28, 2028

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Anchor

Pine Island, New Caledonia picture
Are we in paradise? You might think so from the look of this self-described forest of araucaria pines lassoed by soft sand and clear seas. In fact, L'Île des Pins is the name of the main island, next to which sits another, Kômoto, and a cluster of islets. Along with Walpole island, 150 miles east, this is part of New Caledonia, and while it may be the furthest flung of France's territories, they bake a tasty baguette at the boulangerie in the main town, Vao, and the local delicacy is a giant snail. There is a natural pool for swimming and snorkeling, the cave grotto of a local queen to investigate, and a beachfront statue of St Maurice encircled by totem poles serves as a reminder of both indigenous and colonial influences. There also a darker side of the island to uncover at the ruins of the prison that once held hundreds of revolutionaries from the defeated Paris Commune and, later, Algerian rebels, and the graveyard where many were buried.

Wellington, New Zealand

mar 06, 2028

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Wellington, New Zealand picture
Arrive in Wellington and its ambitious spirit is clear to see in the skyline of shiny towers. Yet New Zealand's capital is a friendly place with an independent air, where just wandering around the streets is a pleasure, stopping for a great coffee or a glass of locally brewed craft beer. You can delve a little deeper into New Zealand's culture and history at the national museum, Te Papa Tongeriwa, on the waterfront, with stories and objects from pre-colonial days. In fact, at Zealandia, you can travel even further back in time – this urban eco-sanctuary is attempting to restore nature to its pre-human state. Movie fans won't want to miss a tour of the Weta Workshop, the film effects company that worked on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit among other blockbusters. But find time, too, for a ride on the cable car to the Kelburn Lookout for a spectacular overview.
