16-Night South Pacific Cruise on Seven Seas Explorer
The Pacific Ocean has more than eleven million square miles of ocean dotted with islands, some no larger than a suburban back yard. The names themselves conjure up images of times past, great voyages of discovery and pitched battles, now etched in history - Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Samoa - they all have a charm and allure which has attracted explorers, adventurers and fortune seekers since the dawn of time. Thirteen island nations, with a total population of just over 6 million people offer so much to see and do. Going on a cruise to the rich and diverse South Pacific will let you experience the enchanting islands and beautiful people that for hundreds of years stirred the mind and excited the imagination.
Book with a professional travel advisor and you may unlock more than what appears in a standard online search. Depending on the supplier and trip, your advisor may have access to preferred or agency-negotiated group rates, special promotions, upgrades, onboard or resort credits, and other added-value benefits that are not always available through direct booking.
During our consultation, we may ask for a few details—such as your country or state of residence, ZIP code, age eligibility, military status, past-guest history, or loyalty memberships. These details can help us identify fares and benefits you may qualify for and compare them against publicly available options.
Not every offer applies to every traveler, and availability varies by supplier, destination, sailing, travel dates, and eligibility. But the more we know about your trip and the qualifications that may apply to you, the more thoroughly we can search for opportunities to enhance your vacation and help you secure the best available overall value not just the first price you see online.
