THE SOUTH PACIFIC

Remote and renowned, magical and magnificent. The islands of the South Pacific are perhaps the world’s most alluring destination. Say Bora Bora or Fiji and immediately visions of brilliant turquoise lagoons, white powdery beaches, and dazzling coral reefs come to mind. Mention Papua New Guinea and intrigue sparks the imagination. Hear Tual or Palau Nai and you might just say, “Where?” In fact, these tiny isles of extraordinary nature are part of Indonesia’s Moluccas Archipelago – aka the Spice Islands.

Consider that from Micronesia and Melanesia to the vast stretches of Polynesia, the South Pacific is comprised of some 40,000 islands scattered across more than 300,000 square miles – an area four times the size of the United States. Surely the best way to delve into the natural, archaeological and historical treasures hidden here is by ship. How best to get from the eco-rich waters of the low-lying Tuamotus to the soaring peaks of the magnificent Marquesas?

What better way to see verdant volcanic cloaks draping the islands of Hawaii? With finessed insight, Silversea explores these far-away and enchanting isles on deeply revealing itineraries.
