This meandering cruise will commence at the Bay of Islands before heading for a two day stay at historic penal settlement of Norfolk Island and then on to the picturesque Isles of Pines. Experience the true meaning of Melanesia's 'Ring of Fire' with visits to the volcanic islands of Anatom and Tanna, highlighted by an exciting evening excursion to the rim of the crater of the spectacularly active volcano, Mt Yasur. This voyage concludes in Port Vila, Vanuatu, providing convenient air access and accommodation for those leaving or joining the ship.
Melanesian Island Discovery departing 9 March 2009 You may like to stay onboard from 27 February voyage to see Espiritu Santo, where scuba divers will be able to experience an unforgettable dive on the world's largest accessible ship, the 22,000 ton President Coolidge, inadvertently sunk after hitting a US minefield during World War II. Enjoy the gentle sea breezes of Marovo Lagoon, snorkel the extensive coral reefs or feed the sharks at Uepi. Orion's guests will enjoy a warm welcome at every destination, with plenty of music, uninhibited rhythmic dancing and singing and an invitation to join the locals in their beautiful villages. Intricate wooden and stone carvings, shell necklaces and woven baskets are all hard to resist - and buying locally means bargains abound.
