1-2 May
Setting sail from Honiara
Honiara is the capital of the Solomon Islands and the nation’s only real port, situated on the largely unspoilt island of Guadalcanal. Reminders of the famous Second World War battle that took place here can be seen all over the island, as well as under the water at the fantastic dive sites off the north coast.
3 May
Solomon Islands: Ghizo
Ghizo island is small compared to its neighbours, but it’s also home to the Solomon Islands’ second biggest city, which is somewhat confusingly called Gizo (sounds the same, different spelling). The open air market is a great place to find unique souvenirs such as shell jewellery, and there is excellent snorkelling and diving just offshore.
4 May
Papua New Guinea: Buka
5 May
Papua New Guinea: Rabaul
Looming over Rabaul is smouldering Mount Tavurvur, an active volcano that buried much of the city when it erupted in 1994, and which still periodically belches smoke and ash. Rabaul is also an appealing destination for history buffs, with several World War II sites still scattered with rusting wreckage.
6-8 May
Papua New Guinea: Kavieng, Rambutyo Island, Ponam Island
9-10 May

Micronesia: Chuuk Island
13-14 May
At sea
15 May
Guam: Guam
Guam is the largest and most densely populated of the Mariana Islands, a US overseas territory that consequently can feel quite Americanised compared to other Pacific islands. Nevertheless, the scenery is stunning and the intriguing indigenous Chamorro culture has not yet been fully subsumed.

At sea
17 May
Micronesia: Gaferut
The uninhabited atoll of Gaferut is part of Yap, one of the four Federated States of Micronesia. This remote location is an important nesting site for turtles and birds, with the chance to spot bird species including frigatebirds, boobies, noddies and terns, and the lagoon offers great snorkelling opportunities.
