Travelzoo EXCLUSIVE – $8999—Save $4749 on 40-nt South Pacific cruise via Fiji & NZ

Cruise1st Exclusive Cruise

40-night South Pacific cruise to Fiji & New Zealand!

Why you should go: Beyond Australia lies a different Pacific, and this 40-night Westerdam sailing explores it in depth. Across 23 ports and seven countries, it has grand-voyage scale without world-cruise commitment. Queensland opens the journey before Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands take over. Fiji and Tonga follow, taking the journey outside the standard South Pacific loop. New Zealand’s long summer days then open a full second act, not a token stop. Fiordland, Hobart and Melbourne close the journey with a striking change of scenery. It feels like three substantial holidays rolled into one yet never overstuffed. The harder-to-reach ports are the real prize. Kiriwina, Rabaul and Honiara are difficult to visit independently. Together, they add volcanic landscapes, island cultures and layers of Pacific wartime history. Overnight calls in Cairns and Lautoka remove the usual rushed-port compromise. Westerdam’s mid-sized scale makes nearly six weeks aboard feel comfortable, not exhausting. Morimoto by Sea brings Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s acclaimed Japanese cuisine onboard. Live music and enrichment give sea days further variety. The ship provides exactly the right rhythm for a journey of this scale.
