Highlights of this cruise include:
Los Angeles, Ca, Usa
Los Angeles is a city spinning with energy and creativity, where tomorrow's trends are born, nurtured and released. Having one of the best climates in the world, Los Angeles draws visitors year-round from all over the world. Officially founded in 1781, the modern-day metropolis of Los Angeles sprawls across over 4,000 square miles between the beautiful Pacific Ocean and the snowcapped San Gabriel mountains. Los Angeles is considered the entertainment capital of the world, a vibrant city of visual delights with more museums than any other U.S. city.
Papeete, Tahiti, Fr. Polynesia
The islands of French Polynesia are acclaimed as the mostbeautiful in the South Pacific. Tahiti is the largest of the French Polynesian islands and home to the capital city of Papeete, a delightful blend of cultures where locals speak both French and Tahitian. Papeete, meaning the "water basket," was once a gathering place where Tahitians came to fill their calabashes with fresh water. Now it is the capital city and gateway to the country, and boasts romantic resorts, fine dining and unique restaurants, vibrant markets, pearl shops, and boutiques. Tahiti's mountainous interior is adorned with deep valleys and scenic waterfalls, while the rugged coastal lands are home to fields of tropical flowers, and glorious white and black sand beaches. Attractions include a museum honoring Paul Gauguin, the site where Captain Cook landed, interesting Polynesian marae or open-air sanctuaries, and Papeete's colorful municipal market.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Formed approximately 20 million years ago, the 130 islands that make up French Polynesia are considered fairly new from a geological point of view. The most acclaimed of these islands, Bora Bora, has long been noted for its stunning beauty. A tiny island (less than 20 miles in circumference), Bora Bora is dominated by the castle-like Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia, two volcanic peaks with lush tropical slopes covered in coconut palms, blossoming Tiare and hibiscus. A protective coral reef encloses Bora Bora, and the lagoon is dotted with colorful motus, or islets. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to brilliant turquoise and sapphire-colored waters, and locals in the small village of Viatape sell colorful pareu (Tahitian sarong), sculptures carved from native woods and precious black pearls.
Auckland, New Zealand
Auckland is one of the few cities in the world to have harbors on two separate bodies of water. The central part of urban Auckland covers a narrow isthmus between the Manukau Harbor on the Tasman Sea, and the Waitemata Harbor on the Pacific Ocean. In addition, Auckland's diverse geography and warm, humid climate has inspired a lifestyle regularly ranked in the world's top ten. Within a half hours drive from the city is an abundance of activities: sailing to a secluded island, trekking through the rainforest, picnicking on a volcano, sampling wines at a vineyard or exploring a black sand beach. Auckland's highest point, Mount Eden (643 feet), offers incredible city views, reinforcing the claim that the twin harbors are among the most beautiful in the world.
Akaroa, New Zealand
Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbor and nestled in the heart of an ancient volcano, Akaroa is a popular resort village. Located 50 miles southeast of Christchurch, this quaint seaside town is situated on the southern side of the Banks Peninsula and has a distinct French flavor to it. Many street names are of French origin because of its French Whaling and colonial history. One of the first settlements in the Canterbury region of the South New Zealand Island, the town has a rich Maori and British heritage, as well as its French history. Today, the town center is dotted with colonial architecture, and the harbor area is lined with boutiques and cafes.
Port Chalmers (Dunedin), New Zealand
Port Chalmers is the main port for the city of Dunedin, New Zealand. Beautifully situated in a natural amphitheater at the head of a long fjord-like inlet, Dunedin was the first permanent European settlement in New Zealand, founded in 1848. Not long afterwards, gold was discovered in the region, and the province quickly became the richest and most influential in the colony. Dunedin is the home of New Zealand's first university and is known for its octagon-shaped streets and quaint Victorian buildings. While Christchurch is New Zealand's most English town, Dunedin is its most Scottish; the name Dunedin is the old Gaelic name for Edinburgh. A great many distinctive and historic buildings remain from the time of its predominantly Scottish settlers and much has been done to preserve its architectural heritage.
Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
Located south of Australia's mainland, tiny Tasmania is one of the country's most fascinating tourist destinations for overseas visitors, and a favorite holiday retreat for Australians. The island was settled in 1803 as a British penal colony, then called Van Diemen's Land. Over 70,000 prisoners were sent to the island between 1803 and 1850, with the result that today a sixth of the island's inhabitants are direct descendants of convicts. The arrival of prisoners stopped in 1853, and in 1856 the island's name was changed to Tasmania in honor of the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. For many visitors the lure of Tasmania lies not in historical mementos but in the island's scenic variety: from the blustery western coastline, to rugged mountain ranges and tranquil valleys, to quaint east coast fishing ports and beach resorts. Historic Hobart, the capital city, is surrounded by one of world's finest deep-water harbors, and forested Mount Wellington provides a spectacular backdrop. Along the harbor, ships' bows loom over the side streets, and fishing vessels, draped with nets, prove irresistible to photographers. Winding streets, Georgian cottages, and tiny gardens are part of the city's first settled area, Battery Point.
Sydney, Australia
Sydney is a cosmopolitan, multicultural city surrounded by golden sand beaches, World Heritage areas, lush national parks and acclaimed wine regions. Sydney owes much of its splendor to its magnificent harbor; arriving by ship provides an unequalled impression, showing off the city's famous landmarks: the dramatic white sails of the iconic Opera House and the celebrated Harbor Bridge, looming over the skyline. The historic buildings of The Rocks district offset the dramatic contrast of old and new, soaring glass, and steel skyscrapers. Central Sydney contains many of the city's major sights, including the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Queen Victoria Building, a landmark in its own right, and one of Sydney's premier shopping centers. Located just west of Sydney are the magnificent Blue Mountains, and on a north shore promontory is the acclaimed Taronga Zoo, with a distinct emphasis on an open, natural environment for the animals.
Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne is the second most populous city in Australia, and serves as the state capital of Victoria. Located at the mouth of the Yarra River, Melbourne was founded by free settlers in 1835, 47 years after the first European settlement of Australia. Transformed rapidly into a major metropolis by the Victorian gold rush in the 1850s, "Marvelous Melbourne" became Australia's largest and most important city, and by 1865 was the second largest city in the British Empire. Today, Melbourne is a major center of commerce, industry and cultural activity, and is consistently ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world. Melbourne is notable for its mix of Victorian, Gothic and contemporary architecture, its extensive tram network and beautiful Victorian parks and gardens, as well as its diverse, multicultural society.
Adelaide, Australia
Southern Australia's most graceful city lies nestled along the coastal plain between the Gulf St. Vincent and the Adelaide Hills. Unlike its eastern Australian city counterparts, convicts did not colonize Adelaide. Europeans, most of whom were British, first settled Adelaide in 1826. Other settlers to the region included German, Polish, Afghan, Chinese, Italian, Lebanese, Spanish and Scandinavians. The city was designed from the very beginning with wide streets and numerous town squares, marvelous Victorian and Edwardian architecture, parks and wide-open spaces. The city preserved many of its unique stone houses built by the original settlers, as well as the more grand historic public buildings constructed during the Gold Rush years.
Fremantle (Perth), Australia
Historic Fremantle is the gateway port for Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Located 12 miles upriver from Fremantle on the banks of the Swan River, Perth was founded on June12, 1829 by Captain James Stirling, the political center of the free settler Swan River Colony. Perth is considered one of the most isolated metropolitan areas on Earth, with Adelaide in South Australia, the closest city with a population over one million. Perth is geographically closer to East Timor, Singapore and Jakarta than it is to Sydney or Melbourne. Today, Perth is a lively cosmopolitan city, and the Swan Valley Region is home to more that 40 vineyards, many of which are still run by their original families. Perth became known worldwide as the "City of Lights" when city residents lit their house and street lights as American astronaut John Glenn passed overhead while orbiting the earth on Friendship 7 in 1962.
Padang Bay, Bali, Indonesia
Bali is more than a destination. It is a journey for the spirit and a sojourn for the senses. Bali creates lasting impressions to all who visit: a delicate woodcarving, a bold painting, a village procession, and the costumed dancers of the Barong. It has been called an island of temples, and with more than 10,000 scattered across the landscape, the title is appropriate. It is an island where rice paddies carpet the lowlands, cling to hillsides, and climb the steep slopes of Mount Agung. Considered the "Navel of the World" and home to Bali's gods, Mount Agung soars over 10,000 feet and dominates the surrounding area. Nowhere will you find a more exotic, spellbinding or entrancing synthesis of humanity, nature and the spiritual world.
Sandakan, Borneo, Malaysia
Founded in 1879, Sandakan became the second capital city of British North Borneo in 1884. It was once claimed to have the greatest concentration of millionaires during its heyday as a timber center. The region was known for centuries for its pearls, camphor, bees wax, sea cucumbers and edible bird's nests, attracting traders from the nearby Sulu Sultanate and from as far away as China. At the end of the Second World War, the capital city was moved to Kota Kinabalu. Today Sandakan remains an important town for palm oil and seafood. Sandakan is also known as the gateway to see exotic wildlife, including Orang Utans and Proboscis Monkeys.
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is divided into four sections: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and the numerous outlying islands. One hundred sixty-four square miles of dense real estate dominate Hong Kong Island, including massive banks and financial houses, enormous skyscrapers with futuristic architecture, opulent hotels, residential compounds on Victoria Peak, beautiful beach resorts and some of the oldest Chinese communities in the region. All these elements create one of the most exotic and exciting ports of call in the world, one that is universally loved by tourists and its own enterprising citizens.
