Pacific cruises are extremely popular - exploring the beauty of the South Pacific islands, New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii can fulfil almost every exotic adventure a traveller could dream of.
We feature the 2010 P&O Cruises' Pacific Sun Auckland season as well as expedition cruising with Orion Cruises. Or search our database for cruises in the South Pacific/NZ, Australia and Hawaii.
Cruise season: The Australia/New Zealand cruises sail between October and March as do the Trans Pacific/World sectors. South Pacific cruises departing from Australia keeps ships busy all year round. Tahiti, Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia experience warmer and rainier months from November to April, the rest of the year is pleasant and drier.
Departure ports: Cruises from Australia depart from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and Auckland is the main port for New Zealand. Small ship Fiji cruises depart from Lautoka and Tahiti cruises depart from Papeete or Bora Bora.
For an eco-adventure, a new small-ship line could be perfect for you. Based in Australia, Orion Expedition Cruises' Orion, custom designed and built in 2003, sails really interesting and offbeat itineraries.
The 106-passenger ship calls at small ports in Australia and New Zealand as well as ports in East Timor, Melanesia, Kimberley, Papua New Guinea and Antarctica.
