Day 1
Sydney, Australia
From the water, Sydney’s harbour frames the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and ferries crossing between historic quays. Beyond the waterfront, central Sydney pairs nineteenth-century buildings with contemporary architecture and leafy streets. Walk the Royal Botanic Garden for harbour views, or take a ferry to Manly for a coastal perspective. Allow time to explore The Rocks, where the city’s colonial beginnings meet galleries, cafés and a lively weekend market.
-
Day 3
Brisbane, Australia
Brisbane is a river city with a relaxed subtropical pace and a confident cultural scene. Ride a CityCat ferry for an easy view of its bridges, riverside parks and skyline. At South Bank, galleries, restaurants and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre sit close to a man-made beach. Two leading art museums anchor the Queensland Cultural Centre. Afterward, explore the city’s dining precincts, where Queensland produce and global influences share the menu.
-
Day 7
Suva, Fiji
Suva is Fiji’s lively capital, set on Viti Levu’s southeast coast beside a deep-water harbour. The Fiji Museum traces the islands’ history, while nearby Thurston Gardens offer a leafy walk. At the municipal market, tropical produce, yaqona and crafts reveal everyday Fijian life. Suva’s Indian, Fijian and Chinese influences also shape its cafés and cuisine. A short drive inland, Colo-i-Suva Forest Park offers rainforest trails and swimming holes.
-
Day 9
Apia, Samoa
Step ashore in Apia and meet Samoa’s everyday life, from its busy waterfront to markets scented with tropical fruit. The capital sits on Upolu’s north coast, where leafy streets, colonial-era buildings and the harbour define its character. Browse Fugalei Market for produce and handicrafts, then visit the Immaculate Conception Cathedral near the centre. Inland, Robert Louis Stevenson’s former home at Vailima offers a glimpse of the writer’s final years in Samoa.
-
Day 14
Honolulu, USA
Honolulu brings the Pacific to your doorstep, with Oahu’s volcanic ridges rising behind a busy harbor. From the cruise pier, historic downtown and Iolani Palace are close; Waikiki’s beaches and Diamond Head lie farther east. Set aside time for Pearl Harbor, where the USS Arizona Memorial gives the islands’ modern history unmistakable weight. Then explore Chinatown’s markets and restaurants, or take a scenic drive along Oahu’s southeastern coast.
-
Day 15
Nawiliwili, USA
Nawiliwili is Kauai’s working harbor, set beside Kalapaki Beach on the island’s southeast coast. Lihue, the island’s main town, is nearby, as are the Kauai Museum and the road to Wailua Falls. Begin with a stroll along Kalapaki’s curved bay, or head inland to Kilohana, a restored plantation estate. Further afield, the road to Waimea Canyon rewards an early start with sweeping views into its immense, rust-red gorge. Allow time for Kauai’s narrow, winding roads; distances can be deceptive.
-
Day 16
Kahului, USA
Kahului is Maui’s working heart, where cruise ships meet a harbor shaped by commerce rather than resort scenery. Step ashore and the island opens quickly: ʻĪao Valley’s green ridges lie west, while Haleakalā rises inland. Choose a car for the Road to Hāna, or explore nearby Wailuku and the Maui Nui Botanical Gardens. Come prepared to travel: Maui’s landmarks are spread across the island, and distances take longer than maps suggest.
-
Day 17
Hilo, USA
Hilo is the Big Island’s quieter, rain-washed gateway to waterfalls, gardens and volcanic country. Start at the lively Hilo Farmers Market, then follow Banyan Drive beneath trees planted by visiting dignitaries. Nearby, Liliʻuokalani Gardens brings Japanese bridges and koi ponds to Hilo Bay. About 45 minutes southwest, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park offers crater overlooks and lava landscapes.
-
Day 18
Kailua-Kona, USA
Kailua-Kona brings the Big Island’s history and marine life within easy reach of its sunny western shore. Ships anchor offshore, and tenders land near Ali‘i Drive, the waterfront route past Hulihe‘e Palace and Mokuaikaua Church. A short drive inland leads to coffee farms on Hualālai’s slopes. Snorkeling trips explore clear bays; after dark, guided manta-ray tours reveal Kona’s marine life.
-
Day 24
Papeete
Papeete is French Polynesia’s lively capital, set on Tahiti’s northwest coast beneath green volcanic peaks. Its waterfront, central market and shaded streets offer a vivid introduction to island life. Browse the Marché de Papeete for vanilla, pareos and tropical fruit, then pause over poisson cru, Tahiti’s lime-and-coconut-marinated fish. Beyond town, black-sand beaches and waterfalls await, while ferry links make Moorea an easy day trip. Papeete rewards a few hours on foot—and a longer look at Tahiti.
-
Day 25
Moorea Island
Moorea’s jagged volcanic peaks rise above a lagoon so clear that the reef appears close enough to touch. A short ferry ride from Tahiti, this Society Islands destination offers a quieter, greener counterpoint to Papeete. Follow the coast past pineapple fields and small villages. Then climb to Belvedere Lookout for broad views of Cook’s and Opunohu bays. Swim, snorkel or take a lagoon cruise; Moorea rewards unhurried exploration as much as adventure.
-
Day 32
Auckland
Few cities bring water so close to daily life as Auckland. Set between the Waitematā and Manukau harbours, New Zealand’s largest city is shaped by the sea. From the waterfront, ferries reach Waiheke Island, with vineyards, beaches and coastal walks. Climb volcanic Maungawhau, or Mount Eden, for sweeping views across the city and its harbours. Back downtown, Viaduct Harbour offers galleries, restaurants and a vivid sense of Auckland’s maritime life.
-
Day 36
Sydney, Australia
From the water, Sydney’s harbour frames the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and ferries crossing between historic quays. Beyond the waterfront, central Sydney pairs nineteenth-century buildings with contemporary architecture and leafy streets. Walk the Royal Botanic Garden for harbour views, or take a ferry to Manly for a coastal perspective. Allow time to explore The Rocks, where the city’s colonial beginnings meet galleries, cafés and a lively weekend market.
