South Pacific Odyssey – Sydney to Honolulu

About this cruise

A 17-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Sydney on April 20, 2027 and visits Bay of Islands, Raiatea Island, Papeete, Moorea Island and Honolulu. The trip wraps in Honolulu, so you won't retrace your steps. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Crossing 3 borders through the Pacific Islands: New Zealand, French Polynesia and United States. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Moorea Island: Tahiti's magical sister island. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Edge takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 17 nights well spent.
