South Pacific Cruises
So, exactly where will a South Pacific cruse sail? Our definition of area includes everything east of Southeast Asia and south of Japan. That's all of the south seas islands, Australia, and New Zealand.
There is a surprisingly wide array of choices in this area - some cruises are focused on the same thing that brings people to the Caribbean - sun, sand, and surf (well maybe snorkeling and diving too). Others emphasize culture and history (including some very intersting WWII veterans itineraries).
Cruise lines sailing these waters include:
Cruise West
- emphasizes culture and ecology.
Lindblad Expeditions
- also emphasizes culture and ecology.
Orion Expeditions
- has a cultural and ecology emphasis but combines the characteristics of a luxury line (like the two below).
The Yachts of Seabourn
- offer luxury first, sun and sand second and culture and ecology third.
Silversea Cruises
- also offers luxury first but sun and sand would come third after culture and ecology.
