12 Nights South Pacific

Australia's most illustrious city is the country's capital in everything but name. It possesses one of the most beautiful harbour settings in the world, and emanates with a intermingling of history, ruggedness and sophistication.

The capital of Fiji, Suva, is the largest metropolitan city in the island country. With a tropical rainforest climate, expect rains almost every day. Here, you can visit its several parks, the Fiji Museum in Thurston Gardens, the Suva City Library or the Carnegie Library, and the University of the South Pacific.

Serving as the entry point to Fiji is Lautoka, which has been nicknamed Sugar City for its sugar cane belt areas. As you make a stop here, you can visit some of the quaint cafes and enjoy a cup as you marvel at Mt. Koroyanitu in the background.

The volcanic island of Dravuni beckons you to explore, along the several islands that sit within the Great Astrolabe Reef. Dravuni is where you can find the University of the South Pacific's research facility on coral cay conservation, and you can also see these corals for yourself from the crystal-clear waters.
