Take a truly epic voyage into the Far East on this one-of-a-kind itinerary. The adventure begins in the “Sugar City,” Lautoka—the heart of Fiji’s sugarcane region. What follows is a smorgasbord of some of the world’s most exotic ports: Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and the tiny nation of Timor-Leste. Along the way, you’ll go back in time through historical sites, ancient cultures and mythologies, and centuries-old civilizations. This itinerary does not visit Thursday Island.

Highlights

  • Ideal for those who seek out rarely visited sites
  • Be amazed as you explore Espiritu Santo, the largest island in the Vanuatu archipelago
  • Soak up the scenic splendor in Guadalcanal, once the site of a fierce WWII battle
  • Adventure in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on Komodo Island, home of the largest lizards on Earth
  • Clear azure waters and Indonesian beauty beckon on Lembar, Lombok Island

Between the islands of Sumbawa and Florès, Komodo National Park welcomes you to discover its natural wonders. At the very heart of the Indonesian archipelago, the three islands that form it – Komodo, Rinca and Padar - owe their renown to the famous eponymous dragons, enormous lizards over two metres long, which live in its grassy savannah. This jagged and hilly volcanic territory belonging to the Sunda Islands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its incredible terrestrial and marine biodiversity. Admire its palette of colours, intermingling the sparkling whites of the beaches, the deep blues of the coral-filled water and the soft greens of its pastures.

m/s Paul Gauguin

Designed specifically to glide in luxury through the shallow seas of the South Pacific, The Gauguin is a small-ship cruiser’s dream. She delivers travelers to intimate ports inaccessible to larger cruise ships, all the while providing a travel experience that is nothing short of luxurious. Once on board, guests enjoy newly-decorated spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an onboard watersports marina, three dining venues, an extensive spa, and five-star service. Life on The Gauguin also reflects the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the islands she calls upon, with a warm, friendly feel, informal setting, and even a beloved troupe of Les Gauguin and Les Gauguines—local Tahitians who serve as onboard hosts and hostesses, entertainers, and storytellers.
