Note: Cruise itineraries are subject to change. Please verify ports and times directly with the cruise line.

Day 1 Port of Call Sydney/Australia Departure 4:00p.m.

Overview

Sydney is Australia's largest and most cosmopolitan city and is the capital of New South Wales, the most heavily populated state of Australia. Sydney is situated on one of the world's most beautiful and famous harbors. Sydney also boasts beautiful beaches, fantastic shops, restaurants, history and culture. Sydney's many highlights include the Harbors Bridge, the Opera House, Centrepoint Tower, The Rocks, the stunning harbor, and the white sands of Bondi, Manly, and beyond. Sydney is also home to beautiful National Parks, the Royal Botanic Gardens, many harborfront picnic locations, and heritage areas.

Day 6 Port of Call Lautoka Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

Lautoka is 24km up the coast from Nadi Airport. Many tourists only get there because it’s the departure point for Blue Lagoon Cruises and some of the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands. It’s a nice harborfront town with duty-free shopping and markets but not exactly a holiday destination. Lautoka is known as the ‘Sugar City’ because of its mill and wharf access. The annual Sugar Festival is in September. Incidentally, the name ‘Lautoka’ comes from a legend that two local chiefs were fighting on Farquhar’s Point - one chief found himself on the receiving end of a spear and screamed Lautokaa’, which means literally, ‘spear-hit’.

Day 7 Port of Call Suva/Fiji Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

Almost any time of the year is an excellent time to visit Suva. There are so many things happening. Suva, the capital city of Fiji, the thumb of the Pacific, is the place of many happenings. For tourists, the day begins at about 6 pm. Before this, it's best to laze around a swimming pool with a cocktail or go walking or shopping around the city. Suva comes alive at night. This is when live local bands or current overseas hit songs fill the air. Suva has about 25 bars/nightclubs and all are walking distance from each other to make for an ideal pub-crawling night. Suva is a city of colors. While neon lights from the nightclubs brighten the nights, the people of Suva brighten up the day. Suva is a city with rich and diverse cultures. It has a multiracial population mix comprised mainly of Fijians, Indians, Europeans, Chinese, and South Pacific Islanders. People are friendly and always willing to help with directions. So if you are lost, don't hesitate to ask. The locals will help with a smile. There are lots of things to do, see and buy. There are many churches, temples, mosques, bush walks, and gardens. Suva has a botanical garden at the eastern end of town. This is also where the Fiji Museum is located. Next to these is the home of the President of the Republic of Fiji.

Day 8 Port of Call Dravuni Island Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

Dravuni is located in the northern part of the reef at S 18 48' and E 178 36'. Approximately 125 persons live in a single village on this 200-acre island. Because the reefs provide a major part of their sustenance, the chiefs have guarded them well and wish to see them studied and preserved. Only four of the islands within this reef are inhabited. Both the Great Astrolabe and the North Astrolabe Reefs offer a broad variety of habitats. Lagoon depths range from very shallow to 40 meters and include rock, sand/sediment, and seagrass areas, as well as coral seamounts. Dense coral growth edges the windward sides of the smaller islands within the reef. Rich underwater seagrass beds flourish off the leeward coast of Dravuni and some of the other islands. Transportation to the island is provided by an inter-island ferry, the Bulouniceva, which departs Suva on Wednesday and Sunday, makes a round trip to the Kadavu group with Dravuni as the last stop, and returns on Friday and Tuesday respectively. Workboats may be made available through the MSP, although advanced bookings are necessary. A boat may also be hired from the village, with a boatman. Charges for using the field station facility depend upon the support needed.

Day 9 Cruising
Day 10 Port of Call Mystery Island Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

Aneityum, also known as the Mystery Island, is the southernmost inhabited island in the Vanuatu archipelago. As with all the major islands throughout Vanuatu, its origins are volcanic and the landscape is mountainous. Rich volcanic soils and a slightly more temperate climate encouraged the growth of magnificent stands of sandalwood trees.

Day 11 Port of Call Noumea Arrival 9:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

Noumea is the capital and largest city of the French special collectivity of New Caledonia. It is situated on a peninsula in the south of New Caledonia's main island, Grande Terre, and is home to the majority of the island's European, Polynesian, Indonesian, and Vietnamese populations, as well as many Melanesians, Ni-Vanuatu, and Kanaks who work in one of the South Pacific's most industrialized cities. The city lies on a protected deep-water harbour which serves as the chief port for New Caledonia.

Day 12 Cruising
Day 13 Cruising
Day 14 Port of Call Sydney/Australia Arrival 6:00a.m.

Overview

Sydney is Australia's largest and most cosmopolitan city and is the capital of New South Wales, the most heavily populated state of Australia. Sydney is situated on one of the world's most beautiful and famous harbors. Sydney also boasts beautiful beaches, fantastic shops, restaurants, history and culture. Sydney's many highlights include the Harbors Bridge, the Opera House, Centrepoint Tower, The Rocks, the stunning harbor, and the white sands of Bondi, Manly, and beyond.
