Then there are the destinations themselves. The Paul Gauguin will glide you effortlessly to the flawless beaches, the coral reefs, the flamboyant culture and breath-taking scenery of Bali. And onwards to Timor-Leste (known as East Timor until 2002) with its ultramarine crescent shaped lagoons and charming 16^th century Portuguese capital of Dili. You’ll call in on the largest of the 82 volcanic islands of Vanuatu – home of spring-fed swimming holes, gorgeous beaches, towering mountains and dense rainforests. Then you set sail for the Solomons; almost 1000 castaway islands and forgotten islets scattered across the sea to form the South Pacific’s third largest archipelago.
