Auckland, New Zealand
Depart: 18:00:00

Auckland is New Zealand's largest, most populated and busiest city. Located on an isthmus linking the peninsula of Northland to the expansive North Island, it seems to float between land and sea. It is one of the few cities in the world to have two separate harbours: Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean. You will understand why Auckland is known as "the City of Sails" when you see the forest of masts in the marina. The 1075-foot-high Sky Tower offers splendid views of the city. Surrounded by dormant volcanoes such as Mount Eden, Auckland is noted for its abundant nature and magnificent black-sand beaches. A blend of Maori, European, and Asian cultures give the city a vibrant atmosphere. ...

Waiheke Island, New Zealand

In the Hauraki Gulf, Waiheke Island is a pristine natural gem just 35 minutes from the city of Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand. The stunning beaches of its languid bays and the undulating landscapes forming the heart of the island perfectly illustrate the easy way of life here. This land surrounded by sea and bathed in light enjoys a mild climate that is conducive to a thriving agriculture, composed mainly of olive groves and vineyards. Somewhat reminiscent of Tuscany, the island is renowned for its wines. Here, Bordeaux grape varieties have found the ideal conditions for developing a rich palette of aromas. A symbol of New Zealand's easy lifestyle, Waiheke also boasts a rich arts scene. ...

Bay of Islands, New Zealand

The Bay of Islands is truly a natural paradise, a jewel hidden in the South Pacific. Its deep-blue waters caress the beaches of golden sand as lush islands with verdant peaks emerge from the sea to form captivating scenery. It was here that in 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, was signed between representatives of the British Crown and a number of Maori chiefs from the northern part of the North Island. ...

Norfolk Island, Australia

This unspoilt South Pacific island lies off Australia's east coast. The choice is yours: relax on its deserted beaches or dive among the multi-colored fish and corals of Emily Bay lagoon. Norfolk Island National Park is the place to see parrots hidden under the araucaria branches and tree ferns. The lookout perched at the top of Mount Pitt offers you a 360-degree panorama of sparkling coastline. Discover more about the island's turbulent history at the Norfolk Island museums in Kingston, one of Australia's oldest towns. ...

Port Vila, Vanuatu

Port Vila is the cradle of an insular harmony where time seems to stand still, a tropical pearl in Vanuatu emerging from the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean, a place that inspires contemplation and daydreaming. Beneath an azure sky, the colorful markets reveal the very essence of Vanuatuan culture. The stalls here are overflowing with tropical fruit bursting with sunshine, while the artisans showcase their talents, weaving vegetable-fiber baskets and sculpting traditional masks with enigmatic faces. On the lush heights in the inland region of Vanuatu's capital, the waterfalls whisper secret songs, creating an aquatic symphony that resonates in the heart of travelers in search of magic. ...

Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu

At the end of the world, in the north of New Caledonia, lies Vanuatu, a little archipelago whose inhabitants subsist mainly on fishing and farming. It is composed of several islands, Espiritu Santo being the largest and one of the most beautiful. You can meet the people here who are very welcoming and who live in harmony with nature. Plus you will see unimaginable landscapes formed of volcanic rocks, as well as sandy beaches and lagoons beckoning you to dive into their turquoise waters. You will be surprised to find, in the middle of dense vegetation, brackish water with an amazing ecosystem called "blue holes". If paradise exists, it must be here. ...

Ambrym Island, Vanuatu

The island of Ambrym in Vanuatu is often referred to as the "black island" due to its volcanic ash and because of its "black magic" steeped in mystery. In the villages, the ancient customs play a significant part in day to day living. The "man blong majik" are treated with the utmost respect and practice sorcery and magic beyond all imaginings. Ambrym prides itself on some unique characteristics, such as the magnificent tam-tams (or slit gongs) sculpted out of tree trunks, sand-drawing, black-fern masks, and local dances. The most striking custom dance is the Rom (or masked) dance - where 9-foot covertly cloaked and masked 'spirits' stomp out ancient rhythms to the beat of the tam tam. ...

The very friendly villagers will be proud to share with you their cultural heritage. Guests will be transferred ashore for a welcome and cultural performance. Afterwards, you will have an opportunity to witness traditional village life in Malekula, with demonstrations of traditional village practices such as weaving and Kava, and purchase genuine artefacts. ...

Washed by the Coral Sea, the harbour town of Cairns is located on Australia's north-east coast. The seafront esplanade is a popular place for locals and visitors to walk, swim, and picnic under the shade of swaying palm trees. The hills surrounding Cairns form the gateway to the Queensland rainforests, proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their fauna and flora from the Gondwana era. ...
