Los Angeles to Auckland
Restful sea days are interspersed with exotic ports on this cruise from Los Angeles to Auckland. Wave goodbye to the Hollywood hills and relax onboard with five days at sea, sailing across the South Pacific. Greet the sun-kissed shores of Kahului and Honolulu in Hawaii before mixing more sea days and fascinating ports of call in Polynesia, until we reach the port of Papeete in Tahiti. From there we sail on to Fiji, taking in some of the South Pacific’s sugar-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and pearly-white atolls. There are stops, too, to hike up Bora Bora’s Mount Otemanu and snorkel amid a kaleidoscope of tropical fish in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Fast-forward 24 hours as we cross the dateline, spying humpback whales in Tonga and stopping at Fiji’s port of Lautoka. Next comes Suva, Fiji’s little capital before raising a glass to Champagne Beach in Vanuatu, where we will be welcomed with a traditional water music ceremony. Then we explore New Caledonia and Norfolk Island and stop at the delightful Bay of Islands before reaching our final destination, Auckland.
