• Breathtaking Itinerary:
  Begin in the paradise of Hawaii, drift through the idyllic South Pacific atolls, and explore the abundant wildlife of Australia and New Zealand. The adventure continues into the exotic realms of Asia with stops in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and Japan, and then edges into the rugged beauty of Alaska before returning to San Francisco.
