South Pacific small ship cruises
How better to truly get a sense of the vastness of the Pacific Ocean than to set sail across it on a small ship? Many places on South Pacific cruise holidays are understandably described as “paradise” such as the castaway-style islands of Fiji and French Polynesia; take a gentle voyage between these palm-fringed beaches, embark on a more daring expedition from archipelago to archipelago – or cross stormy southern seas to the otherworldly Sub Antarctic Islands.
