SOUTH PACIFIC
Tall Ship adventures in the South Seas

2010 Pearls of the Pacific

From May 2010 Tallship Soren Larsen will undertake a series of voyages to the very best of the tropical South Seas.

A true ocean passage takes us from Auckland to the Kingdom of Tonga via the volcanic Kermadec islands. In the islands of Haapa'i and the whale breeding grounds of of Vava'u we find South Pacific tropical cruising at its most idyllic.

From there we sail westwards with the trade winds on a series of voyages across the best of Polynesia and Melanesia, from Tonga to the outer islands of colourful Fiji.

We explore the wild untouched beauty and undisturbed culture of the islands of Vanuatu, sailing as far north as the rarely visited islands of the Banks and Torres group. We see the classical South Sea beauty of New Caledonia.

An authentic square rig passage to Sydney Harbour or a trans Tasman voyage home to New Zealand is a blue water sailing adventure at its best.

Choose which type of voyage suits you best.

The thrill and challenge of blue water ocean sailing provides total involvement in the ship, with time to master the rig, become confident aloft or learn something of ocean navigation. Or you can take a more leisurely island cruise navigating between tropical anchorages and exploring an island paradise ashore untouched by modern tourism.

You will be signed on to ship's articles as Voyage Crew. Alongside the permanent crew you will stand watches, take the helm, handle lines, raise sail and let the routines of a sailing ship take you back to a slower more relaxed era.

Relive the classic days of sail with Søren Larsen as she harnesses the world’s trade winds for this ocean adventure.

Sail in the wake of the ancient Polynesian navigators and pioneering voyages of Captain Cook aboard this magnificently restored square rigger.
