Soren Larsen - Our South Pacific Specialist

Tall Ship Adventures in the South Seas

Each year from May to November tall ship Soren Larsen undertakes a series of voyages to the very best of the tropical South Seas. In 2010 and 2011 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 - Limited Places 2010

You can still join Soren Larsen this summer. The pioneering first voyage to Vanuatu Torres Islands and the Sydney - Auckland voyages are proving very popular with past soren larsen customers and are close to full, so do ring us about availability.

 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.

2011 South Pacific on Soren Larsen

We now have the 2011 programme so if it is too short notice to plan your escape this summer, you now have time 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 2011 South Pacific route will sail to the Cook Islands first and then follow a similar route - Samoa - Tonga - Fiji- Vanuatu- New Caledonia - Sydney - Auckland.

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.
