Itinerary

Day 1: Lautoka
Day 4: Crossing the International Date Line
Day 4: Alofi
Day 6: Palmerston Island
Day 7: Aitutaki
Day 9: Bora-Bora
Day 30: Panama City
Day 31: Panama City
Day 1: Lautoka

North of Nadi through sugarcane plantations and past the Sabeto Mountains is Lautoka, nicknamed the Sugar City for the local agriculture and its big processing mill. With a population of around 50,000, it’s the only city besides Suva and, like the capital, has a pleasant waterfront. It’s the sailing point for Blue Lagoon and Beachcomber Cruises but is otherwise unremarkable for tourists, itself having few hotels and fewer good restaurants. Locals recommend the city as a less-expensive place to shop for clothing, but note that it can take as long as 45 minutes to drive here. Legend has it that Lautoka acquired its name when two chiefs engaged in combat and one hit the other with a spear. He proclaimed “lau toka” (spear hit) and thus the future town was named.

Day programme:

Bula! Welcome to Fiji and the nation’s second largest city, Lautoka, nestled in the heart of sugar-cane country. This sweet start to your voyage opens up a world of blissful beaches, turquoise seascapes, dense jungle and the always-smiling Fijian locals.  Your journey into wonder begins with a warm greeting by the Captain and crew as you step on board Scenic Eclipse II. Sip on a glass of Champagne as you explore your luxurious suite, then join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar to toast the start of an unforgettable voyage. Please book your flight to arrive into Nadi prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 4: Crossing the International Date Line
Day 4: Alofi

Niue, or “The Rock” as it is known to its inhabitants, is one of the largest raised coral atolls in the Pacific, an island type named “Makatea” after an island in French Polynesia. Niue’s coast lends itself to exploration with stops at points of historical and scenic interest including opportunities for snorkeling, exploring limestone caves, and swimming in Niue’s crystal clear water.

Day 6: Palmerston Island

The low-lying atoll of Palmerston is inhabited by three families, all descendants of William Marsters (1831-1899). Members of the community are known to greet visitors and guide small boats into the lagoon through a maze of coral reef. Once ashore, the whole community generally turns out to meet visitors as it is a rare occurrence. The island’s highlights include a church, the oldest house, the cemetery, the school, the underground gardens and “Duke’s Pool,” inviting for a swim or snorkel. In the lagoon’s waters it is possible to find colorful reef-fish, sea cucumbers, rays, and sea turtles. Overhead there is birdlife including tropicbirds, boobies, noddies, frigatebirds and terns.

Day programme:

Just six tiny islands are dotted across the 11 kilometre-wide lagoon of Palmerston, one of the most isolated communities in the South Pacific. Surrounded by a continuous ring of coral reefs, marine life is abundant. Don’t miss a dip in Duke’s Pool, named in honour of the late Prince Philip, who swam there in the 1970s during a rare royal visit.With a population of only around 50, most of the friendly residents are the descendants of one British man, William Marsters, and his three wives. Marsters was a ship’s carpenter who arrived here in 1863 and quickly established his own personal paradise.

Day 7: Aitutaki

Even high praise like the ‘world’s most beautiful island’ from Lonely Planet’s co-founder, Tony Wheeler, won’t prepare you for the intoxicating intensity of the coal blue ocean, the glow of the pure white sand, and the soothing ripple of the palm-tree forests at incredible Aitutaki. Breathless romance hangs thick in the air here, especially when a riot of purples, reds and oranges are spreading across the sky, accompanying the sun’s descent each evening. It wasn’t until 1789 that Europeans discovered this island haven, with the HMS Bounty’s crew arriving, just a few weeks before a mutiny tore them apart. The Europeans were beaten to the islands, however, by the streamlined wooden canoes of the Polynesian settlers, who arrived around 900AD. While Western missionaries would eventually visit to spread Christianity to the island – evidenced by the white, coral-encrusted walls of the many churches – their efforts to repress the people’s deep love of communal singing and dancing ultimately failed, and music forms a key component of the islanders’ culture to this day.The beaches here are flawless, and swaying in a hammock, suspended between leaning palm trees, as the ocean gently ruffles the sand nearby, feels gloriously indulgent. Aitutaki Lagoon is a huge aquamarine pool of water, alive with a kaleidoscopic swirl of tropical fish, which lurk just below the surface. You may even be lucky enough to spot turtles padding across the sand, scraping themselves towards the open ocean.The snorkelling opportunities here, and on One Foot Island – where you’ll want to acquire the badge of honour of having your passport stamped with the island’s iconic huge footprint – are sublime. Don’t miss the tiny island of Moturakau either, which is crammed full of exotic birds and crabs, who have dominion over the island’s tangled, jungle terrain. 

Day programme:

Aitutaki is another contender for the most beautiful lagoon on the planet. Covering over 50 square kilometres, it’s sprinkled with over a dozen islands and islets, most of which are uninhabited. None stands more than 124 metres high, so there’s nothing to interrupt the postcard-perfect views. Go snorkelling, relax on the beach or just settle into the simple life on this peaceful island port. Aitutaki specialises in the sale of black pearls, colourful sarongs, patchwork quilting and other handicrafts, which can be found at the bustling market near the wharf.

Day 9: Bora-Bora

Simply saying the name Bora Bora is usually enough to induce gasps of jealousy, as images of milky blue water, sparkling white beaches and casually leaning palm trees immediately spring to mind. The imagination doesn’t lie, either, and if you visit, you’ll soon realise this island is every bit as gorgeous as you ever imagined. Thatched wooden huts stand out over shallow, sparkling seawater, with vivid fish swirling just below. Soak up the sun, scuba dive, or simply revel in the opulent luxury of one of the island’s many magnificent resorts. If blissful inactivity doesn’t appeal, then get active, and hike the greenery of the sharp Mount Pahia.

Day programme:

The name Bora Bora is synonymous with paradise and this majestic island is world famous for its mesmerising tropical beauty. It’s known as the Pearl of the Pacific and sits on the edge of one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons.The stunning clear water sparkles with 50 shades of blue and colourful fish, manta rays and timid reef sharks swim through the shallows. It’s fringed with luxurious overwater resorts and the occasional yacht bobbing at anchor. With swathes of lush green vegetation, the island is dominated by the magnificent outline of Mount Otemanu.

Day 30: Panama City

Expect incredible morning views as you arrive into the port for Panama City. Tinged with a silver pre-dawn light, the city will metamorphosise into a golden glow as the sun rises above it. And from then on expect one stunning view after another. Very interesting in its own right, Fuerte Amador is obviously overshadowed by its proximity to Panama City. So should the Miraflores museum of the Canal, which offers a comprehensive and immersive tour of the Canal including a 3-D experience, four exhibition halls, an observation deck, and a surprisingly good restaurant not interest you then there is always the option of lovely Casco Viejo – literally the old quartier of Panama. The grand old colonial houses, cobbled streets, independent boutiques and buzzing street scene make this a must stop on your itinerary. And if you like seafood, you will not want miss the many restaurants and market stalls serving different variations of so-fresh-it’s-still-practically-swimming ceviche. Best eaten like the Panamanians do, with salty crackers and a cold beer on the beach. And if money is no object, a cup of geisha coffee – supposedly the world’s best and definitely the world’s most expensive at $7 a shot is definitely a pick me up! Cool cosmopolitan capital aside, Panama has a skyscraper filled skyline that is worthy of some of its North American counterparts. But if urban utopia is not your scene then fear not, the sandy beaches and lush rainforests are never more than a short cab ride away.

Day programme:

Welcome to Panama City, a vibrant metropolis where modernity meets rich history. The starting point of the iconic Panama Canal, a marvel of engineering, this cosmopolitan city comprises a juxtaposing skyline of skyscrapers, 17th century churches and colonial-style buildings, along with a happening culinary scene.The heart of its historical charm is the Casco Viejo district, a World Heritage-listed site. Known for its beautifully preserved colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and a mix of boutiques, cafes, and bars, this area offers a glimpse into the past while celebrating the present.

Day 31: Panama City

Expect incredible morning views as you arrive into the port for Panama City. Tinged with a silver pre-dawn light, the city will metamorphosise into a golden glow as the sun rises above it. And from then on expect one stunning view after another. Very interesting in its own right, Fuerte Amador is obviously overshadowed by its proximity to Panama City. So should the Miraflores museum of the Canal, which offers a comprehensive and immersive tour of the Canal including a 3-D experience, four exhibition halls, an observation deck, and a surprisingly good restaurant not interest you then there is always the option of lovely Casco Viejo – literally the old quartier of Panama.

Cool cosmopolitan capital aside, Panama has a skyscraper filled skyline that is worthy of some of its North American counterparts. But if urban utopia is not your scene then fear not, the sandy beaches and lush rainforests are never more than a short cab ride away.

Day programme:

Your cruise will end today in Panama City. Savour one last luxurious breakfast on board your 6-star Discovery Yacht before saying farewell to the crew and new friends who have shared this remarkable journey with you. As you disembark, know you have created unforgettable memories.Please book your flight to depart out of Panama City after 12:00 PM.#Spa treatments at additional cost. +All drinks on board, including those stocked in your mini bar, are included, except for a very small number of rare, fine and vintage wines, Champagnes and spirits.The itinerary is a guide only and may be amended for operational reasons.
