From $14,010 per person · solo from $20,400
Why This Ship, Out Here
A refitted all-inclusive ship of about six hundred guests, with a Nobu restaurant at sea and a butler in every suite grade. Crystal Symphony works this route as a one-way crossing over 25 nights.
Solo fares are shown beside the per-person price for every suite grade, so you can see the single supplement rather than be told about it. The cheapest solo berth here is $20,400.
The Journey
The heart of French Polynesia, its market, its black-sand coast and the green interior standing behind the town.
Tahiti’s dramatic sister, its jagged peaks rising over Cook’s and Opunohu Bays.
The sacred island, cradle of Polynesian culture and home to the UNESCO-listed marae of Taputapuatea.
The most beautiful lagoon on earth, beneath the green tower of Mount Otemanu.
A deep volcanic harbour on Tutuila, ringed by green ridges that fall straight to the water.
Fiji’s capital and the largest city in the South Pacific islands, with a colonial waterfront and a market worth an entire morning.
The gateway to the Yasawa and Mamanuca islands, where the beaches everyone pictures when they picture Fiji actually are.
Nobody lives here. Islanders cross from neighbouring Aneityum for the day, and the whole island is a ring of white sand you can walk in under an hour.
A raised coral atoll of limestone cliffs, vanilla plantations and the clearest water of the voyage.
France in the tropics. A working Melanesian capital with French bakeries and a lagoon so large it is UNESCO listed.
The Isle of Pines, ringed by the tall araucaria pines Cook named it for, over a lagoon of almost luminous turquoise.
Northland’s subtropical harbour of a hundred and forty islands, with Russell and the Waitangi treaty grounds.
The City of Sails on its double harbour, with volcanic cones standing across the isthmus.
Rebuilt entirely in Art Deco after the 1931 earthquake, and the heart of Hawke’s Bay wine.
The capital on its harbour, with Te Papa, the cable car and the coffee culture the country is quietly known for.
Australia’s southern capital, all laneways, coffee and galleries, on the great curve of Port Phillip Bay.
