Hapag-Lloyd Cruises invites adventurers on an extraordinary 26-night expedition through the heart of the Pacific aboard the Hanseatic Inspiration, departing from Nadi and arriving in Keelung (Chilung) on 27 Nov 2023 11:00. This journey promises picture-perfect island experiences and offers insights into isolated life in the remote Western Pacific. The cruise showcases territories largely untouched by tourism, offering glimpses of rare animals, unique cultural rituals, and lush jungles that seem far removed from modern times.

Discover the mysteries of Funafuti in Tuvalu and the rich heritage of Butaritari in Kiribati, before exploring the striking atolls of Majuro and the rich biodiversity of Pohnpei. This expedition is a compelling invitation to explore the frontiers of tropical worlds, promising an adventure that excites and inspires.
