THE GREAT PACIFIC ADVENTURE: THE WORLD IN 139 NIGHTS

2027 WORLD CRUISE — SAN DIEGO → VANCOUVER
Crystal Serenity | Jan 8 → May 27, 2027
139 Nights | 29 Countries 83 | Destinations

Pack your bags for “Stories of the South Seas” — a 139-night circumnavigation of the Pacific Rim. Departing San Diego, the Crystal Serenity threads south down the Americas, across the vast blue to the South Sea islands, pauses in New Zealand and Australia, explores Indonesia and Southeast Asia, skirts the great coasts of East Asia, then carries you home with a dramatic Alaskan passage before final arrival in Vancouver. Expect long sea days that invite true restoration, curated cultural engagement ashore, and rare overnight calls that reward slow, deliberate discovery.

JANUARY — Mexico, Central America & Peru into Easter Island

Begin in San Diego (Jan 8) and sail the luminous Pacific coast of Mexico and Central America — Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta — before calling at El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Southward to Ecuador and Peru (Manta, Guayaquil, Salaverry, Callao/Lima), the month closes with a breathtaking overnight on Hanga Roa (Easter Island) — a rare, sculptural gateway to moai mysteries and remote Polynesian genealogy.

Highlights: Colonial Guayaquil; Lima’s culinary pulse; Easter Island’s moai at sunrise.
Optional Excursions: private pre-dawn moai walk with a local guide; Lima culinary night market tour and chef demonstration; guided nature lodge visit near Manta.

FEBRUARY — Remote South Seas & French Polynesia

Cross the South Pacific into the enchanted South Seas. Expect remote and revelatory stops: Pitcairn/Adamstown, Tuamotu atolls (Fakarava, Rangiroa), Raroia, then the Society Islands — Bora Bora, Papeete, Moorea and Raiatea — each island offering crystalline lagoons, coral passes and living Polynesian traditions. These weeks are designed for languid lagoon time, water adventures and immersive cultural exchange.

Highlights: Private motu picnics in Bora Bora; atoll snorkeling in the Tuamotus; traditional Polynesian craft demonstrations.
Optional Excursions: bespoke lagoon helicopter tour; guided pearl-farm visit and private tasting; comparative cultural evenings with island chanters and dancers.

MARCH — South Pacific to New Zealand & Australia

Visit Samoa (Apia), American Samoa (Pago Pago), and Fiji (Suva, Lautoka), then venture onward to Vanuatu and New Caledonia before crossing to Australia. Brisbane and Sydney offer a metropolitan counterpoint to the islands — extended time here unlocks theatre, world-class dining, and curated hinterland escapes to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree rainforest.

Highlights: Fiji village culture; New Caledonian lagoon blues; Sydney’s harbour spectacle.
Optional Excursions: private reef charter with a marine naturalist; boutique wildlife walk with indigenous guides; early-access Opera House experience and harbour dinner.

APRIL — Indonesia, SE Asia & the Indian Ocean turn

Sail through Komodo and Bali into the spice-scented corridors of Java, then arrive at cosmopolitan Singapore and southern Thailand. From there the voyage continues westward into the Indian Ocean arc — ports may include Colombo and Maldivian atolls before turning toward the next major segment of the itinerary. This month is rich in seafaring lore, temple rituals, and marine biodiversity.

Highlights: Komodo National Park’s prehistoric marine life; Balinese temple ceremonies; Singapore’s city-garden sophistication.
Optional Excursions: Komodo zodiac wildlife ride with a naturalist; private Balinese blessing and estate dinner; seaplane day at a Maldivian atoll.

MAY — East Asia, Alaska & the Pacific Northwest finale

Round the Pacific to visit East Asia’s great cultural centers (China, South Korea, Japan) in curated fashion, then cross toward Alaska for glacier viewing, classic Inside Passage towns and wilderness immersion. The voyage concludes with a scenic approach into Vancouver — a fittingly grand, green finale.

Highlights: Japanese cultural precincts; glacier-viewing days in Alaska; final approach into Vancouver’s bustling harbor.
Optional Excursions: private temple and tea ceremony in Japan; glacier zodiac photo cruise and interpretive briefing; guided local-food tasting and Granville Island exploration in Vancouver.
