Once a near-forgotten colonial outpost, the pueblo metamorphosed into an agrarian paradise before reinventing itself as a movie colony. Perhaps no other city owes so much to the technological innovations of the 20th century, from the automobile to the airplane. Little wonder that LA is oft described as the "dream machine." In LA, reinvention is a way of life. Yet this talent for change has created a city with a rich ethnic diversity and... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 4: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 5: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 6: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 7: Hilo **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Welcome to the Big Island of Hawaii - a paradise of black-sand beaches, tropical rainforest and volcanic mountains. Mauna Loa, the largest mountain on the planet, soars above the bleak lava fields of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. In the heart of the Big Island's lush rainforest lies the remote and stunning Wai'po Valley (Valley of the Kings). Hawaii's history matches its incomparable landscape - it is a saga of mighty Polynesian kings, sugar barons, war and treachery. The landscape of the B... ### Day 8: Kahului **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Maui has always occupied a special place in the hearts of Hawaiians. The great warrior King Kamehameha, who united the islands under his rule, chose to make Lahaina his capital and Ka'anapali was once the favorite playground of Hawaiian royalty. And no wonder - Maui boasts stunning landscapes and superb beaches. Mt. Haleakala, a dormant volcano, rises 10,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. Once hailed as "The Valley of the Kings," Maui's Iao Valley is a tropical paradise dominated by the Needle, a... ### Day 9: Kauai (Nawiliwili) **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM The fourth largest island in the Hawaiian group, Kauai is known as the "Garden Island." The terrain ranges from the volcanic slopes of Mt. Waialeale and the desert-like beauty of Waimea Canyon to the Wailua River's lush Fern Grotto. Ironically this once isolated island was the site of the first meeting between Europeans and Hawaiians. On January 19, 1778, Captain James Cook anchored his ships off the mouth of the Waimea River, becoming the first in a long line of enthusiastic visitors. ### Day 10: Honolulu **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:00 PM Home to nearly half a million people, Honolulu is Hawaii's state capital and only major city. The city of Honolulu and the island of Oahu offer a wealth of historic, cultural and scenic attractions. Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head are two of the city's enduring symbols. Pearl Harbor, site of the USS Arizona Memorial and the "Punchbowl," are haunting reminders of the tragic events of December 7, 1941, when the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor forced America into World War II. Honolulu is a... ### Day 11: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 12: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 13: Cross International Dateline **Arrives:** 12:00 PM · **Departs:** 01:00 PM The International Date Line is an imaginary line extending from the North Pole to the South Pole through the Pacific Ocean. It serves as the 180th meridian of longitude, and is used to designate the beginning of each calendar day. As you know, each adjacent time zone on the map has an hour time difference. However, at the International Date Line, +12 hours and -12 hours meet, bringing about a 24-hour time change. So while a person standing just to the west of the line may be celebrating Chris... ### Day 14: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 15: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 16: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 17: Apia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM The first Polynesians arrived in Western Samoa around 1000 B.C. Three millennia later, the islands formed one of the last bastions of traditional Polynesian culture. Apia, the capital of Western or Independent Samoa, is a city of 40,000 on the island of Upolu. Its picturesque waterfront is lined with public buildings, shops and trading companies. The town now comprises of modern 3-5 story buildings all along the waterfront. Government has built some very modern buildings to house most of the g... ### Day 18: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 19: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 20: Lautoka **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The second-largest city of Fiji, Lautoka is located in the west, on the island of Viti Levu. It is nicknamed The Sugar City due to its expansive sugarcane plantations producing the island's most important crop. Its soft-sand beaches are fringed with swaying palm and coconut trees reflected in the crystalline turquoise waters. A drive through the city center allows glimpses of tree-lined streets, colonial houses, colorful markets and a vibrant local culture. ### Day 21: Suva **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:59 PM The Fiji archipelago is at the cross roads of the South Pacific. In the days of sailing ships, it was known as "The Cannibal Isles," where mariners carefully avoided its fierce warriors and perfidious waters. Thankfully, Fiji's pagan days live only in the tales recalled by tour guides - in rituals such as firewalking, Kava Ceremonies and in renditions of tribal drumming, dance and song. Fiji is an exotic destination, with 333 islands that provide an exciting adventure or peaceful repose. The ... ### Day 22: Dravuni Island **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Less than two miles in length from north to south, Dravuni Island lies in the Kadavu Island group of Fiji. Its volcanic peaks give way to a remote village of just 200 or so friendly villagers who live amongst the island's shady palms. These welcoming locals and their children often sing to arriving visitors. Well-worn trails scattered with coconuts snake around the unspoiled beaches, the soft sands beckoning underwater adventurers towards the crystal-clear waters. Many visitors come to snorke... ### Day 23: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 24: Mystery Island **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM This small, uninhabited island just off volcanic Tanna is one of the most southernmost of the Vanuatu group. Used as a World War II landing strip for the allied forces, it is completely undeveloped. Amble around the island, or, if you’re handy with a snorkel and fins, explore the surrounding reefs. ### Day 25: Port Vila **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Vila is the capital of Vanuatu, an archipelago of some 83 islands in the Coral Sea. Vanuatu is a new republic, having achieved independence from France and Britain in 1988. Before then the archipelago was better known as the New Hebrides, the name given the islands by Captain Cook. Cloaked in dense rainforest, these volcanic islands were little known until World War II, when the islands of Espiritu Santo and Efate served as Allied bases. Today increasing numbers of travelers visit Vila, drawn by... ### Day 26: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 27: Noumea **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM The capital of New Caledonia, Noumea is a little piece of France in the middle of the Coral Sea. Before World War II, New Caledonia was a little known and seldom-visited French possession known for its penal colony and its natural resources. (Nickel smelting still plays a major role in the island economy.) Today, travelers are drawn to New Caledonia for its scenic beauty. The island is famed for its white-sand beaches while its west coast is the site of the world's second longest barrier reef. T... ### Day 28: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 29: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 30: Sydney, Australia **Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's largest cities, is best known for its harbourfront Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design.
