The Pacific Ocean covers is the largest and deepest, and covers one third of the entire Earth’s surface, more than all the landmasses put together. Not only is it the largest but also the deepest, deeper than Mount Everest is high. This vast region is dotted with thousands of islands, either formed volcanically or based on coral (atolls). For the seabirder and ocean-going naturalist it offers many exciting opportunities and is to some degree relatively unexplored. After our success with the Western Pacific Odyssey (see pages 42-45), we plan to continue to open this region up to birders and ocean travellers.
For 2008 we are pleased to offer three itineraries on the U.S. flagged expedition cruise ship Spirit of Oceanus, which carries a maximum of 120 passengers. Outline details are shown, please contact us for the colour brochure and more information.
