June & July 2026
Dry Season (Relatively dry for this region)
Auckland to Port Vila, Vanuatu – 1,200nm (4.5 days)
Vanuatu is the South Pacific at its most untamed. A scattering of volcanic islands where ancient traditions and raw natural beauty exist side by side.
Witness the smoking crater of Mount Yasur, dive the legendary SS President Coolidge wreck off Espiritu Santo or experience the remarkable land diving ritual on Pentecost Island.
Between June and October, humpback whales migrate through these waters, bringing another layer of wonder to an already wild landscape.
Remote, authentic and deeply atmospheric, Vanuatu pairs naturally with the wider cruising grounds of Fiji.
11 Jul 2026 – Le Trail Pacific Energy
Le Trail Pacific Energy is Vanuatu’s premier trail-running event, taking participants through rugged jungle paths, volcanic landscapes and coastal terrain across the islands.
August 2026
Dry Season (June–Sept; more favourable for cruising)
Vanuatu (Luganville) to Solomon (Nendo) – 300nm (1 day)
The Solomon Islands offer a quieter side of the South Pacific. More than 900 islands of rainforest-covered peaks, coral atolls and remote villages scattered across impossibly blue water.
Explore WWII wrecks off Guadalcanal, reefs alive with seasonal fish spawning aggregations and communities where ancient traditions endure. During the dry season, the islands reveal themselves at their most vivid and serene.
Remote and rarely visited, the Solomon Islands combine naturally with neighbouring Papua New Guinea for a broader journey through the South Pacific.

November 2026
Inter-monsoon / Transition (Hot, humid)
Indonesia to Singapore – 1,000nm (3.5 days)
Singapore brings a striking contrast of futuristic architecture, rooftop gardens and world-renowned dining, before the remote Anambas Islands offer a quieter escape of hidden lagoons, coral reefs and deserted beaches in the South China Sea.
A seamless blend of city energy and tropical stillness.
December 2026
Phuket - Start of Dry Season / NE Monsoon (Nov–April, best time to visit)
Singapore to Phuket – 600nm (2 days)
From Phuket’s turquoise bays to the untouched islands of southern Thailand, this region blends vibrant culture with extraordinary natural beauty.
Between December and April, the Similan Islands offer encounters with whale sharks and manta rays among some of Southeast Asia’s richest marine life. Nearby Malaysia and Langkawi extend the journey with their own mix of rainforest islands, hidden beaches and emerald waters.
11 to 13 Dec 2026 – Tomorrowland Thailand
January 2027
Dry Season (best diving and cruising conditions)
Phuket to Myanmar – 160nm (14 hours)
Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago remains one of Southeast Asia’s most remote landscapes. More than 800 jungle-covered islands scattered across the Andaman Sea, where untouched beaches, nesting sea turtles and occasional whale shark sightings add to the region’s quiet sense of isolation.
February & March 2027
West Coast – Dry Season
East Coast – End of Monsoon
Phuket to Langkawi – 120nm (10 hours) and Langkawi to Tioman – 540nm (2 days)
Malaysia reveals two distinct sides of Southeast Asia. On the west coast, Langkawi’s limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and emerald islands unfold beside vibrant night markets and quiet beachfront hideaways. To the east, Tioman offers something slower and wilder with dense rainforest, crystal-clear water and coral reefs alive with colour.
Rich in contrast and natural beauty, Malaysia can only be accessed for charter when combined with Thailand, with itineraries typically running between Langkawi and Phuket to unlock the wider cruising ground across the region.
March & April 2027
Cool dry Season
Tioman to Vietnam (Ha Long Bay) – 1,200nm (4.5 days)
Ha Long Bay is otherworldly — thousands of limestone karsts rising from emerald waters, shaped into caves, lagoons and jungle-clad cliffs over millennia.
Coastal dolphins are present year-round, while misty mornings and floating villages add to its quiet, cinematic atmosphere.
April 2027
Start of Wet Season (April-Sept)
Vietnam to Hong Kong – 450nm (1.5 days)
Hong Kong is a city of striking contrasts, where neon skylines and bustling harbours quickly give way to quiet bays, green islands and hidden beaches.
Just beyond the city, in the Pearl River Estuary, the rare Chinese white dolphin moves through these waters — one of the region’s most remarkable wildlife encounters.
Fast-paced yet atmospheric, Hong Kong blends urban energy with moments of unexpected calm.
May 2027

Between July and October, humpback whales migrate through these warm South Pacific waters, bringing extraordinary wildlife encounters to an already remarkable landscape. Hidden waterfalls, dense rainforest, untouched beaches and crystal-clear lagoons define a region that still feels wonderfully far removed from the modern world.

New Caledonia to Carins – 1,200nm (4.5 days)
Australia reveals nature on an extraordinary scale — from remote reefs and untouched coastlines to ancient rainforest landscapes.
Along the east coast, humpback whales migrate through warm Pacific waters, while the Great Barrier Reef teems with marine life. Beyond the shore, red deserts, tropical islands and laidback beach towns create striking contrast.
Bold, sun-drenched and endlessly varied, Australia sits naturally alongside French Polynesia for a broader South Pacific journey.

Wild, remote and visually striking, it’s nature at its most spectacular.
January & February 2028
Dry Season
Raja Ampat to Palau – 550nm (2 days)
Palau to Palawan – 890nm (3 days)
During the Northern Hemisphere summer, the BC coast is at its prime for exploration. Protected waters, abundant daylight, and mild weather create ideal conditions for cruising, revealing dramatic fjords, lush temperate rainforests, and hidden coves. This season allows for leisurely exploration of the coastline, wildlife encounters, and immersion in the region’s rich maritime heritage, making it a highlight of any Pacific voyage.
March & April 2028
Northern hemisphere spring & cherry blossom season - comfortable conditions in many Japanese coastal areas.
Raja Ampat (Indonesia) to Tokyo (Japan) – 2,300nm
Japan in spring is a study in contrast and quiet precision. Cherry blossoms soften ancient temples and ultra-modern skylines alike, as the country shifts into one of its most visually arresting seasons.
In the south, Okinawa and the Yaeyama Islands offer a subtropical world of coral reefs, white sand and warm-water diving. In the north and along coastal waters, humpback whales pass through winter breeding grounds, while spring and autumn bring vast migratory bird flyways overhead.
Elegant, disciplined and deeply seasonal, Japan feels as considered as it is naturally beautiful.
May 2028
Late spring - good timing to cross North Pacific heading to British Columbia
Tokyo (Japan) to Vancouver (Canada) – 4,000nm (Long Crossing)
Departing Tokyo, Sea Eagle embarks on a direct great-circle crossing of approximately 4,000 nautical miles to Vancouver. Late spring offers ideal conditions for this North Pacific passage, with milder weather and calmer seas improving the timing and safety of the long crossing. This leg marks a significant milestone in the journey, bridging Asia and North America while traversing one of the world’s vastest oceans.
June 2028
Dry Summer
British Columbia is wilderness on a vast scale. Glacier-fed fjords, ancient pine forests and mist-covered coastlines define one of the most dramatic seascapes in the world.
Orcas, humpback whales and sea eagles move through these cold Pacific waters, while secluded inlets and remote shoreline communities add to its quiet sense of isolation.
Raw, elemental and deeply untamed, Canada’s west coast is nature in its purest form.

Mexico to Galapagos – 1,800nm (6.5 days)
The Galápagos feel unlike anywhere else on earth — a volcanic archipelago shaped by isolation, where wildlife exists in remarkable abundance and without fear of humans.
Giant tortoises roam the highlands, blue-footed boobies perform their courtship dances, and hammerhead sharks gather in impressive numbers during the cool season. Sea turtles, dolphins, marine iguanas and sea lions move through these protected waters year-round.
