Lautoka to Auckland

Diverse and multi-sensory experiences await on this cruise around some of the pearls of Melanesia before heading to New Zealand. Leaving Fijian shores, we spend the day sailing to the white-sand shores of volcanic Vanuatu, calling at Mystery Island and the capital, Port Vila, where our warm welcome will include a traditional water music ceremony. Onwards we go to Lifou, a haven for birds including the red-bellied fruit dove, before spending a day sailing to Norfolk Island, a tiny Australian territory almost halfway between New Caledonia and New Zealand. After another day at sea, we’ll explore the stunning Bay of Islands before disembarking in Auckland.
