Aboard Scenic Eclipse II with Scenic Ocean Cruises
Cruise Overview
North of Nadi through sugarcane plantations and past the Sabeto Mountains is Lautoka, nicknamed the Sugar City for the local agriculture and its big processing mill.
With a population of around 50,000, it's the only city besides Suva and, like the capital, has a pleasant waterfront.
It's the sailing point for Blue Lagoon and Beachcomber Cruises but is otherwise unremarkable for tourists, itself having few hotels and fewer good restaurants.
Locals recommend the city as a less-expensive place to shop for clothing, but note that it can take as long as 45 minutes to drive here.
Legend has it that Lautoka acquired its name when two chiefs engaged in combat and one hit the other with a spear.
He proclaimed "lau toka" (spear hit) and thus the future town was named.
Lifou is a commune of France in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia.
Lifou is made up of two main islands - Lifou Island and Tiga Island- in additional to a number of uninhabited islets.
Lifou Isand is the largest atoll in the world.
The island is actually made of fossilized coral - known as a makatea.
Lifou island does not have any surface water and it relies on a freshwater reservoir accessed by caves.
Lifou Island is best known for its vast atoll (the largest in the world).
This ring-shaped coral reef affords some of the best snorkelling in the world.
Popular activities on this island include scenic walks, relaxing days on the beach, swimming and snorkelling.
There are no organized tours being offered during this call to Lifou Island, guests may explore on their own.

Cruise Itinerary
Aboard Scenic Eclipse II
Launch Year: 2021 Length: 168 Width: 22 Currency: USD Capacity: 228 Crew Count: 172 Deck Count: 8 Cabin Count: 114
The second discovery yacht in the Scenic Eclipse fleet will set sail on her maiden voyage from Athens to Lisbon, before her debut season, when the luxury ocean cruise ship will chart its way to the European and Russian Arctic, sailing through both the White Sea and Northwest Passage.
Russia’s White Sea is still in many ways a great mystery due to geographic isolation; however, it is one of the most naturally stunning locations on the planet, and an ideal destination for avid explorers. Meanwhile, the Northwest Passage, which routes from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean, along the coast of North America, offers an exceptional polar exploration experience.
