Day 1 Tue, 29 Oct Lautoka, Viti Levu, Fiji (D)
Settle into your suite, in the sweet city of Lautoka, nestled in the heart of Fiji’s sugar cane growing region. Step ashore where the first Fijians landed to understand why they chose to make this island paradise their home. In a land of dramatic displays such as warrior dances and firewalks, the attractions are much gentler: botanical gardens thriving with orchids; blissful beaches; lush forest; and warmly welcoming locals. Your journey into wonder begins with a warm greeting by the crew as you step on board Scenic Eclipse.

Please book your flight to arrive into Nadi prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2 Wed, 30 Oct At sea (B,L,D)

Day 3 Thu, 31 Oct Tanna Island, Vanuatu (B,L,D)
Tanna’s erupting Mount Yasur is regarded as the world’s most accessible active volcano. Known for its continuous activity since Captain James Cook observed ash eruptions in 1774, it’s considered a sacred area by members of the John Frum cargo cult, who believe their deity resides inside.

Discovery: Soak in the Sulphur Bay hot springs at the base of Mt Yasur, or explore Tanna’s Blue Cave, carved in a limestone cliff. Alternatively, see one the island’s most magnificent waterfalls, taste the world-renowned Tanna coffee, or venture up to the smoking rim of Mt Yasur for an unforgettable experience.

Day 5 Sat, 02 Nov L’Île-des-Pins (B,L,D)
The “Jewel of the Pacific” is named after the tall trees that line the white-sand shores. It’s the southernmost of the Caledonian islands and the largest in the marine area of the Great Southern Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Isle of Pines is also a former penal colony, where political prisoners from the Paris Commune and Kabylians from Algeria were deported at the end of the 19th century.

Alternatively, see pots being thrown on the wheel by a master potter at Cottage Pottery, followed by a tasting platter of home-grown goats cheese or take an early morning walk through the rainforest at Palm Glen and learn about the local wildlife as you walk beneath a canopy of Norfolk Island palms. For the active, enjoy nine holes of golf at the local course.
