YOUR ITINERARY
Your adventure begins in the heart of French Polynesia. Step aboard Le Jacques Cartier in Papeete, where the relaxed Tahitian lifestyle meets colourful markets, colonial charm and lush botanical gardens. Settle into your balcony stateroom before Le Jacques Cartier sails this evening
...Wake up to the dramatic peaks of Moorea. Spend the day soaking up heavenly beaches, swimming in the turquoise lagoon and taking in sweeping views from the Belvedere lookout over Cook’s Bay.
...One of the most beautiful lagoons on earth awaits. Explore white sand beaches, spot colourful fish in the shallows and take in the iconic silhouette of Mount Otemanu.
...A day to slow down and enjoy the ship. Unwind in the spa, take a dip in the pool, catch a destination lecture or simply watch the Pacific roll by from the sun deck.
...Discover one of the most spectacular lagoons in the world. Snorkel over vibrant reefs, browse local black pearl and handicraft stalls, and soak up the slow pace of island life.
...Another chance to make the most of onboard life as we sail toward Tonga.
...A rare and fascinating moment of the voyage. Cross this invisible line in the Pacific and gain a day back, a quirk of travel that’s fascinated explorers since Magellan’s time. Heading westbound across the International Date Line means a day is effectively gained.
...Around forty postcard-perfect coral islands await in this stunning Tongan archipelago. Take in panoramic views from Mount Talau, explore coral gardens and discover local traditions like Noni juice production and pandanus weaving.
...Relax and recharge as we make our way toward Fiji.
...Explore Fiji’s lush second-largest island, Vanua Levu. Discover tropical rainforest, hidden waterfalls and warm Fijian hospitality, including the traditional kava ceremony.
...Visit Fiji’s vibrant capital, home to the Fiji Museum’s remarkable collection spanning over 3,000 years of history. Explore Thurston Gardens or head to the Beqa lagoon for a final splash of turquoise before we sail on.
...Le Jacques Cartier arrives in Lautoka, Fiji’s “Sugar City” and the gateway to the Yasawa Islands, and the voyage transitions seamlessly to its second phase. No disembarkation is required. The first 12 days have covered French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Tonga and the Fijian archipelago. The next 13 nights head into Melanesia, the remoter and less-visited Pacific: Vanuatu’s active volcanoes, cultural villages and living traditions, and the Solomon Islands where the Pacific War of 1942 and 1943 left its most indelible marks.
...Step back in time in Levuka, Fiji’s former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage town. Wander 19th-century streets, visit Mission Hill and learn the story of Fiji’s cession to the British Crown.
...Volcanic peaks, turquoise lagoons and untouched beaches define this remote Fijian chain. Join a welcome ceremony and get a true taste of island community life.
...Enjoy a restful day at sea as we sail toward Vanuatu.
...Witness Mount Yasur, one of the world’s most accessible active volcanoes, glowing since Captain Cook first spotted it in 1774. A true bucket-list moment.
...Discover this lesser-visited corner of Vanuatu, rich in natural beauty and off the well-worn tourist trail.
...Known as the “black island,” Ambrym is steeped in ancient custom. Witness the striking Rom masked dance and discover local sand drawing and sculpture traditions.
...Vanuatu’s most culturally diverse island, home to more than thirty languages. Enjoy a welcome performance and see traditional weaving, kava preparation and local artistry up close.
...Explore the stunning Paradise Lagoon and the tiny island of Mavea by Zodiac, including the chance to experience “Water Music,” a unique percussive tradition performed on the water’s surface.
...Sail into a spectacular natural harbour formed by an extinct volcano. Go ashore for a rare welcome in one of the remotest corners of Vanuatu, seldom visited by cruise ships.
...Home to just 200 residents, Loh offers an intimate glimpse into island life amid virgin forest and pristine, transparent waters.
...Arrive in the Santa Cruz Islands, where turquoise lagoons meet ancestral Melanesian traditions in the peaceful village of Lata.
...Discover intricately carved artefacts and ceremonial bowls, and take in a traditional performance in this remote island village, followed by a swim in the warm waters of Port Mary.
...Disembark in Honiara, a city shaped by its pivotal role in WWII, including the historic Battle of Henderson Field. Your included economy flight home to Brisbane completes one of the most extraordinary Pacific voyages available from Australia.
