Bucket List Pacific

Imagine beginning your holiday in Los Angeles, a city that shines with energy and excitement. You will spend two nights here before your cruise, giving you time to enjoy the glamour of Hollywood, stroll along Santa Monica Beach, or simply take in the atmosphere of a city that never stands still. This relaxed start allows you to settle in before the real adventure begins.

From Los Angeles, you will board the Sapphire Princess for a 32-night cruise across the Pacific Ocean. This is more than just a holiday. It is a journey across continents, islands, and oceans, bringing together natural wonders, cultural treasures, and moments you will never forget.

Your voyage takes you first to Hawaii, with stops in Kauai, Nawiliwili, and Honolulu. Hawaii is the dream of many travellers, and here you will experience its lush landscapes, golden beaches, and warm hospitality. On Kauai, often called the Garden Island, you can admire waterfalls and dramatic cliffs. In Nawiliwili, the port opens the way to peaceful bays and small-town charm. Honolulu, the capital, offers something for everyone — from Pearl Harbor’s history to Waikiki Beach’s vibrant life. These days in Hawaii give you the feeling of paradise on earth.

From Hawaii, the ship sails onwards to Pago Pago in American Samoa. This is a place where emerald mountains meet crystal-clear seas. It is less visited, making it feel special and unspoiled. Villages, local markets, and cultural traditions add depth to the natural beauty you will see around you.

Crossing the International Date Line is another highlight of your journey. It is not just a line on the map but a reminder of the vastness of the world. One day you are here, and the next you are stepping into tomorrow. It is a rare experience that very few travellers can say they have enjoyed.

To make your holiday smooth and easy, everything important is already arranged for you.

• Flights from London Heathrow to Los Angeles and back, so your journey begins and ends with comfort
• 2-night hotel stay in Los Angeles before the cruise, giving you time to explore the city

With everything included, you are free to focus on enjoying the destinations, relaxing on board, and making the most of each moment.

This holiday departs on 13 October 2025. It is one of the best times to travel across the Pacific. The summer heat has eased, leaving warm and comfortable weather for sightseeing, swimming, and exploring.

In Los Angeles, October is mild and pleasant, perfect for strolling along the beaches or exploring the city before your cruise. By the time you reach Hawaii, the climate is still beautifully warm, with sunny skies and inviting seas. The Pacific islands, from Samoa to Fiji and French Polynesia, also enjoy excellent weather at this time of year. Days are long, evenings are comfortable, and the tropical beauty of these destinations shines in full colour.

Travelling in October also means fewer crowds compared to the peak holiday season, giving you a more relaxed and authentic experience at each stop. From the golden sands of Waikiki to the lagoons of Moorea, you will have space to enjoy the views without the rush.

This carefully chosen departure date ensures that you can enjoy every destination at its best, making your bucket list journey across the Pacific truly unforgettable.
