Find Your Ideal Pacific Island Cruise

Our Pacific Island cruises explore far-off islands that only a small expedition ship or yacht can reach. This perfectly intimate mode of transport gives you the ability to be ever-ready to observe the marine life, sunsets and coastlines up close. Sail in the company of expert naturalist guides with daily off-vessel explorations. Visit Hawaii as you never have before, and dive into a truly cultural experience in Papua New Guinea for a look into a world that very few outsiders see. And French Polynesia cruises, including Tahiti and Bora Bora, focus on explorations of secluded atolls, lush volcanic peaks, pristine coral reef, remote cultures and infinite shades of azure.
