Voyage Itinerary

13 October

Setting sail from Lautoka

Lautoka is Fiji's second largest city, known as the 'Sugar City' due to its important role in the local sugarcane industry. The waterfront area is pleasant enough, but we'd recommend using Lautoka as a jumping off point to visit some of the smaller surrounding islands, or the forests and waterfalls of the interior.

14 October

Fiji: Levuka (Ovalau)

Levuka, on the little island of Ovalau, was the first capital of Fiji, and it was here that the Deed of Cession was signed in 1874, formalising the British annexation of Fiji. The port’s historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a number of well-preserved buildings dating back to the late 19th century.

14 October

Fiji: Leleuvia

Leleuvia is a small coral island, home to a laid-back resort and not much else. The colourful reef is easily accessible from the island’s western beach, home to marine life including tuna, barracuda, manta rays and turtles, while bird species recorded here include sacred kingfishers, swallows and orange-breasted honeyeaters.

15 October

Fiji: Fulaga

16 October

Tonga: Uoleva

Close your eyes, imagine a South Pacific island, and you’re probably picturing somewhere like Uoleva. This quintessential desert island has no roads and no shops, just dazzling white sands, gently swaying coconut palms and shallow turquoise waters where you can snorkel amongst the thriving reefs.

17 October

Tonga: Neiafu

Neiafu is the second largest city in Tonga and the capital of the Vava’u group of islands, situated next to the deep water Port of Refuge. Humpback whales pass through here between June and November, while on land the ‘Ene’io Botanical Garden is well worth a visit.

18 October - At sea

19 October

Cook Islands: Palmerston Island

Palmerston is a sleepy coral atoll with an unusual history, home to just three families, all descended from a single man. William Marsters, a ship’s carpenter from Gloucestershire, arrived on the island in 1863, and fathered a number of children with three different Polynesian wives.

20 October

Cook Islands: Aitutaki

The sleepy island of Aitutaki is big on natural beauty, thanks to its stunning reef-enclosed lagoon. It’s also a deeply spiritual place: in the village of Arutanga you’ll find the oldest church in the Cook Islands, dating back to 1829, and services here are a spellbinding spectacle, with hymns featuring unaccompanied four-part harmonies.

21 October - At sea

22 October

French Polynesia: Bora Bora

Bora Bora is the very definition of idyllic, a diminutive Polynesian island dominated by rainforest-clad volcanic peaks, overlooking an electric blue lagoon ringed by coral reefs. The beaches and over-water bungalows are particularly popular with honeymooners, and the clear waters of the lagoon are perfect for snorkelling.

23 October

Arriving in Papeete

Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia, situated on the northwest coast of Tahiti. The port is not the most magical spot, so we advise venturing forth to luxuriate in the turquoise lagoons, relax on the white sand beaches fringed with palm trees, and explore the rugged mountain peaks.

Don't miss

The island of Raiatea – extraordinary scenery, like being in Jurassic Park.

The ship

Silver Cloud

Capacity:: 254 Guests
Crew:: 208 Staff
Style:: Cosy, welcoming, stimulating, exciting - this ship has it all! If you enjoy the finer things in life but have an adventurous spirit, you will find yourself in congenial company on board.

This intimate and popular little ship was the first crossover ship in the fleet, reborn as a stylish expedition ship following an extensive refurbishment in 2017.

What we love

The lovely Silver Cloud is now part of Silversea's Expeditions fleet, with a reduced capacity, an ice-strengthened hull and 18 zodiacs making this one of the most luxurious expedition ships at sea.

Can you help with pre and post-cruise arrangements?

Absolutely. Expedition cruises often start and end in remote destinations, and we're able to arrange everything from flights and transfers to hotels and tours. If you're keen to make the most of your time away with bespoke arrangements, we can help with all your travel needs to make sure your trip is exceptional. What's more, we are members of ABTA and we offer full ATOL protection, not to mention a 24-hour emergency contact, to give you complete peace of mind.

Will I save by booking with Mundy Adventures?

You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line, as well as enjoying more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.

How much time is spent ashore?

Itineraries are planned to deliver an unforgettable experience of the destination, so days are filled with landings ashore via the ship's fleet of Zodiacs (sturdy rubber boats) or exploration along the coastline. It will vary depending on itinerary and operators, so it's best to contact us to discuss but rest assured an expedition cruise is focused on the time you spend off the ship.
