Exciting Cruises to the South Pacific
On a South Pacific cruise with Celebrity, you'll venture to remote ports with thousands of years of history and culture layered into a natural landscape of breathtaking beauty. Travel to pristine beaches with turquoise lagoons, warm white sand, and natural splendor found in very few other places on Earth.
Explore Papeete and its iconic landscape made famous by artists such as Paul Gauguin. In Lautoka, Fiji, take a catamaran to an exquisite South Sea island for a day of snorkeling and exploring pristine beaches. During your stop in Raiatea, explore one of the most sacred sites in Polynesia, Taputapuatea Marae, an ancient temple and one-time site of religious ceremonies. Uncover a world of rich history and natural wonder on a captivating cruise to the South Pacific.
South Pacific Cruise Highlights
It's no secret that the islands of the South Pacific are home to some of the world’s best beaches. On the island of Papeete in Tahiti, you'll find Matavai Bay, where white sand and aquamarine waters make for the perfect place to relax. In Fiji, head to Lautoka's Vunabaka Bay for an unforgettable experience snorkeling over brilliant coral reefs. Raiatea boasts the immaculate, unspoiled beaches of nearby Taha'a, a secluded island just a short boat ride from the port.
Polynesian Culture
One of the most valuable experiences you can have while traveling the South Pacific is to learn about Polynesia’s rich cultures. The isolated position of the islands has given rise to traditions of music, storytelling, dance, and art. In Fiji, visit a typical village, where you’ll be welcomed with a traditional ceremony and kava juice. For a taste of local culture in Noumea, head to the vibrant municipal market, filled with exotic fruit, fragrant flowers, artisanal crafts, and snack bars.
Wildlife enthusiasts will find plenty of animal encounters during a South Pacific cruise, both ashore and in the water. Snorkel from the beaches of Tahiti and you could be swimming among rays, dolphins, black-tipped reef sharks, and sea turtles. While in Fiji, take a nature tour through Colo-i-Suva Forest Park. Stroll past rushing streams and tranquil pools, one with a rope swing, and be on the lookout for dazzling birds like robins, fantails, and the colorful musk parrot.
Featured South Pacific Cruise Ports
Pape'ete, tahiti.
There’s plenty to see in and around Papeete—if you can tear yourself away from Tahiti’s glorious beaches and coral reefs, that is. Visit the house where James Norman Hall lived and shop for juicy tropical fruits at the Papeete Market. Take a 4x4 safari into the lush backcountry, a world of jagged peaks, waterfalls, and dense rainforest. See the bay where Captain James Cook made landfall. Learn more about island crafts, including pareo tying and palm weaving.
Lautoka, Fiji
Lautoka is a laid-back city at the heart of Fiji’s sugar cane industry and is home to the largest sugar mill in the South Pacific. In town, chat with locals at the vibrant Lautoka Market and stroll the pretty botanical garden. Admire the Krishna Kaliya Hindu Temple, brilliant with sculptures and murals. And don’t miss those dazzling beaches; a catamaran will whisk you to a remote atoll of swaying palms, white sands, and sparkling seas for the ultimate South Pacific beach day.
Noumea, New Caledonia
Capital of the French territory of New Caledonia, Nouméa has both French and Polynesian influences. Visit St. Joseph’s Cathedral and the City of Nouméa Museum to learn about the history of the island. Head for the bustling market to sample bougna, chicken or fish slow-cooked in banana leaves with yam, sweet potato, and banana. Relax on exquisite coral sand beaches and snorkel over vibrant reefs in the sapphire Pacific.
South Pacific Cruise Itineraries
Journey through the lush South Pacific on adventurous itineraries ranging from 12 to 18 nights. You’ll depart from Sydney, Auckland, or Honolulu and visit multiple islands during your cruise.

All your cares seem to fade away as you sail through the serene beauty of the South Pacific. Here you’ll experience stunning sunsets, beaches with soothing shore lines and welcoming cultures. Your Holland America ship offers the perfect balance to the island. Onboard you’ll experience service that goes above and beyond and find comfort in daily rituals. However, these rituals get thrown out the window when you stop in port because each port has something different to offer. You’ll find yourself going from a day lounging on a beach in Fiji to an afternoon visiting a sacred temple in Bali or even pearl diving in Bora Bora.

Things to Do on a South Pacific Cruise with Holland America Line
Experience the beauty of natural land and water when you explore the islands of the South Pacific with Holland America. Remember those beautiful National Geographic images of tropical destinations? In the South Pacific and Fiji, these images come to life and you can truly experience a more laid-back lifestyle. Featured below are a few of our favorite things to do when cruising to the South Pacific and Tahiti with Holland America:
- Fijian Traditions & Beauty (Lautoka, Fiji) Raise your glass as you drink kava in a traditional kava ceremony, and then watch as locals sing and dance for you. Afterwards you’ll take a tour through an orchid garden to learn about the local flora and then drive through the region while passing through sugar cane plantations.
- Shark & Ray Encounter & Coral Garden Snorkel (Bora Bora, French Polynesia) Take a lagoon cruiser out to a shallow sandbank where stingrays are known to frequent. Here you’ll get in the water and watch as they swim around you – and you can even touch them! Then travel to the coral gardens to snorkel amidst the colorful fish.
- Moorea Overnight – Garden Bungalow (Papeete, Tahiti) Take a ferry to Moorea where you’ll spend the night in your own bungalow. This is the perfect excursion for people looking to relieve their stress and spend some time lounging in the beach and wading into the beautiful waters.
- Anapa Pearl Farm (Raiatea, Polynesia) Get an in-depth view of the local black pearl when you tour the Anapa Pearl Farm. You’ll see how an oyster and some human ingenuity combine to create a rare gem.
- Royal Temple, Monkey Forest & Tanah Lot Pagoda (Benoa, Bali) Experience some of the history and culture of beautiful Bali when you visit the beautiful Pura Taman Ayung Temple and the Tanah Lot Pagoda. Then you can also get a little cheeky with the mischievous monkeys at the Alas Kedaton forest.
- Komodo Island Trek (Komodo, Indonesia) Visit the Komodo National Park where you’ll encounter 11-foot-long Komodo dragons, cockatoos and black-napped orioles. You’ll have a great time learning about the local animals and taking pictures.
