South Pacific
Sometimes the real life experience doesn’t quite match the superlatives. Not so the South Pacific. Turquoise waters and reefs rich with marine life, idyllic for diving, swimming and snorkelling, surpass even the most stylised images. Its pristine, palm-fringed beaches are among the finest in the world. Pure crystal sands stretch for miles making the South Pacific coastline ideal for a luxury yacht charter.
Welcome to the peoples of the South Pacific
As warm as the waters that surround them, the peoples of the South Pacific are renowned for their welcoming nature and willingness to share their unique culture. The Pacific islanders are predominantly made up of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia. Each nation, including Samoa, Fiji, Noumea and Vanuatu, is steeped in rich cultural traditions and ceremonies. Drop anchor and immerse yourself in the open friendliness of local islanders. Shop for treasures and skilled handicrafts in markets and roadside stalls before sailing to a secluded turquoise lagoon for a spectacular Pacific sunset.
Picture perfect landscapes
Only about 2,000 of the 30,000 islands that make up the South Pacific are inhabited. This makes for some incredible unspoilt scenery. Green-forested mountainous islands rise from the clear blue waters the region is known for. Steer into deeper waters for a fishing expedition and have your onboard chef prepare a seafood feast with the catch of the day to celebrate.
The beauty queen of the South Pacific
It’s no secret that Bora Bora, in French Polynesia, is widely regarded as the gem of the South Pacific. French Polynesia embodies a relaxed approach to everyday living, typical of the islands, yet its green forests, stunning turquoise lagoons and exotic marine life set it apart, even by South Pacific standards.
