Secret Treasures Cruise- 11 nights in June 2012

Get in quick for the amazing last-minute deals on this cruise. Secret Treasures will introduce you properly to Vanuatu and its tropical treasures. Departing from Sydney, there is a stop at the beautiful Isle of Pines in New Caledonia for a break from sea days before continuing to Mystery Island in Vanuatu. This is an uninhabited piece of paradise, with just a few locals who come for the day to sell handicrafts to cruise passengers. The next stop is the charming city of Port Vila, Vanuatu's capital city set on a natural harbour. Peruse the markets here or sit in a cafe and watch the comings and goings of fishing boats. Pentecost Island is the next stop and is one of the real secret treasures of Vanuatu- here is the sport that gave birth to bungy jumping, vine jumping. Locals tie vines to their ankles and jump off high platforms! A terrifying custom, but one that is entertaining to watch. The island is also home to some absolutely stunning scenery. Before the return to Sydney, the cruise also stops at Luganville, a major export centre for Vanuatu. The town is a walkable distance from the chips and overlooks the pretty Segond Channel. A few sea days before returning to Sydney will help you fully relax!

Spice Of Southeast Asia Cruise: 5 - nights in June 2012

Turn up by cruise ship into the bustling Kuala Lumpur, or KL as it's known. The city rose up from the forbidding jungle terrain to become one of the most fascinating architectural landscapes on earth. A blend of native Malaysian, Chinese Imperial and European influences has created a city that is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is alive with culture. Penang, Malaysia is complete with gorgeous beaches, abundant culture, rich history and excellent food. Truly, there is more to see and experience in the "Pearl of the Orient" than one person can possibly handle. Next stop is Phuket, Thailand. Located in the Andaman Sea, the island of Phuket in Thailand was one of the earliest tourist developments in Southeast Asia. Though most folks come for the beaches, Phuket boasts amazing snorkeling, windsurfing and trekking for the adventurous types. Hills dominate this tropical island and the views from the top shouldn't be missed.

Experience some island magic in the balmy Pacific islands in June. Depart Brisbane in winter and arrive in the warm Port Vila. There are beautiful coastal views of the city with its clusters of houses and small scale resorts nestled amongst tropical vegetation making an attractive scene. The harbour is quite active with fishing boats, yachts and speedboats passing between the various nearby islands. The dock bustles with dancers and music and there are lots of friendly locals selling handicrafts. The covered market place is a colourful and interesting place to visit selling handicrafts, fruits and colourful tropical flowers. Bula! Fiji's capital is next. The waterfront area is very interesting, and the Suva Municipal Market is a must-see for visitors for its exotic fruits and vegetables, kava, fish and seafood, and spices. Smell the Frangipani as you enter Port Denerau. An idyllic place to beach comb and be greeted by the huge smiles of friendly Fijian locals. Tiny Mystery Island is picture perfect, with sandy pathways that lead to white beaches edged with coconut trees and crystal clear lagoons offering great snorkelling. The waters off the Isle of Pines must really 'wash whitest' because the sands of the Isle's Kato Bay will impress any visitor with its white, white, talcum-like beach. he most difficult aspect of your visit to the Isle of Pines will be saying goodbye to its sunny skies, friendly faces, warm waters and of course those beautiful beaches.
