Day 4
Cape York
Arrive 07:00Depart 13:00

June through August offers the most comfortable conditions during the dry season.
Day 5
Day 5
Stanley Island
Arrive 07:00Depart 13:00
Despite it being a stalwart of Britishness, Stanley more resembles Patagonia than Portsmouth. But, despite the windswept, vast and achingly beautiful landscape of the Falkland Islands, don’t be too surprised to find the odd pub serving ales and even fish’n’chips. While landmarks such as Christ Church Cathedral, with its whalebone arch are 100% local, there is a also good smattering of imported garden gnomes and Union Jacks to remind you whose territory you are really on.
Day 6
Day 6
Alotau
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:30
Alotau is the gateway to Papua New Guinea's Milne Bay, one of Earth's most biodiverse marine regions with over 1,400 islands harboring extraordinary coral reefs, manta rays, and the living Kula Ring ceremonial exchange.

Day 7
Day 7
Fergusson Island
Arrive 07:30Depart 17:30
Fergusson Island is the largest of Papua New Guinea's D'Entrecasteaux Islands, where active geothermal hot springs bubble through the jungle, birds of paradise perform courtship displays in the cloud forest, and the ancient kula ring trading tradition continues among coastal communities. Must-do experiences include visiting the Dei Dei Hot Springs' rainbow-colored geothermal pools, snorkeling the pristine coral reefs, and witnessing traditional singsing performances in village settings. May through October offers the driest conditions for this remote and extraordinary island, accessible by light aircraft or expedition cruise vessel in one of the Pacific's least-visited archipelagoes.

Kuyau Island
Day 9
Day 9
Jacquinot Bay
Arrive 07:00Depart 16:30
Jacquinot Bay is a large open bay on the eastern coast of the island of New Britain. It is a tranquil place with white sandy beaches and tropical palm trees all around. There is also a well-known beautiful waterfall that flows out of the mountainside with freezing cold water right onto the beach. But during WWII, however, it was not a quiet place. It was, in fact, an important base for the Australian Army who liberated it in November 1944. This base was used to support Australian operations near Rabaul which were conducted in early 1945 in conjunction with advances on the northern side of New Britain.
Day 10
Day 10
Rabaul
Rabaul is a partially buried volcanic town in Papua New Guinea's Simpson Harbour caldera, where the steaming Tavurvur cone, extensive Japanese wartime tunnels, and vibrant Tolai cultural traditions create one of the Pacific's most extraordinary port experiences. Visit during the dry season from May through October for volcano hikes, wartime archaeology, and diving enriched reefs.
Day 11

Fraser Island

Must-dos include swimming in the crystalline waters of Lake McKenzie, driving Seventy-Five Mile Beach past the SS Maheno shipwreck, and watching humpback whales from shore. Visit August through October for whale season, warm dry weather, and ideal conditions for lake swimming and wildlife spotting.
Day 12

Kennedy Island
Arrive 12:30Depart 17:00
Kennedy Island is the tiny Solomon Islands coral islet where Lieutenant John F. Kennedy and his PT-109 crew survived for six days after their boat was sunk by a Japanese destroyer in 1943, now a peaceful palm-covered speck surrounded by world-class diving waters. Must-do experiences include visiting the island to walk where the future president took refuge, diving the World War II wrecks that litter The Slot's seafloor, and exploring the extraordinary coral diversity of the Solomon Islands' Coral Triangle reefs. May through November offers the driest conditions for diving and island exploration in this historically significant and remarkably unspoiled corner of the Pacific.

Lautoka
Arrive 08:00
Lautoka, Fiji's "Sugar City," is a characterful western Viti Levu port where a century-old sugar mill, a vibrant municipal market, and lush botanical gardens reveal an unhurried South Pacific authenticity. Visitors should taste kokoda and lovo-smoked pork at the waterfront market and explore the nearby Yasawa Islands or Taveuni's rainforest waterfalls. The dry season from May through October offers the most comfortable cruising conditions, with warm days, low humidity, and calm seas ideal for shore excursions.
