Soren Larsen - Our South Pacific Specialist

 Tall Ship Adventures in the South Seas

Each year from April to November tall ship Soren Larsen undertakes a series of voyages to the very best of the tropical South Seas. In 2012 there are ten voyages to chose from - varying in length from 10 to 32 days. Some are pure ocean passages, others have island hopping as a main theme, and a few have a combination of a long ocean passage and some exploring amongst island groups.

Sailing in the South Pacific -  2012

All her voyages are extremely popular with many returning customers. So don't leave it too late to book!

We explore the wild untouched beauty and undisturbed culture of the islands of Vanuatu; sailing as far North as the rarely visited islands of the Banks and Torres Group and we see the classical South Sea beauty of New Caledonia.

The last two legs include an authentic square rig passage from New Caledonia to Sydney harbour in Australia, or sail from Sydney accross the Tasman Sea to Soren Larsens home port of Auckland, New Zealand.

2012 South Pacific on Soren Larsen

We now have the 2012 programme so you have plenty of  time to plan your escape for next summer, and to save up for this remote paradise. Living on a sailing ship as hands on crew provides a unique way to explore the South Pacific and connect with the local communities without feeling you are just a tourist. The 2012 South Pacific route will sail to the Cook Islands first and then follow a similar route - Sydney - NZ - Cook Islands -Samoa - Tonga - Fiji- Vanuatu- New Caledonia - Sydney.

GAP year favourite for all ages

GAP year or independent travel - if you are planning to visit Austraila, New Zealand as part of a round the world trip, or specifically want to sail the South Seas - then sieze the chance to sail a historic wooden tall ship whilst you still can.  See the land as Captain Cook did for the first time - from the quarter deck of the magnificently restored square rigger Soren Larsen. Every time the ship anchors off an island, you become centre of attention for the locals, so it gives you a way to connect with the island commonities and take part in their cultures

Ideal Teachers Escape to the Far Side of the World

If you work in education, or are a university student bound by summer holidays / summer vacation dates then these Pacific voyages in the Southern Hemisphere 'winter' give you a chance for a long break when the air fares are off peak (typically cheapest June to August). Los Angeles, Honolulu, Sydney and Auckland have the most options for flights on to South Pacific islands.
