Escape with us for a voyage of discovery to places most people only dream about. Adventure sailing cruises in the tropical islands of the South Pacific await aboard the Soren Larsen, a square rig adventure for all ages. Join the star of 'The Onedin Line' as we seek out the hidden Pacific, sailing the tradewinds to find the untouched beauty and undisturbed culture of the remoter islands and communities of Polynesia and Melanesia.

Soren Larsen is one of the most magnificently restored Tallships still sailing. Previously the star of The Onedin Line BBC series, she has sailed Cape Horn, explored the Pacific in the wake of Captain Cook, and is now based in Sydney, Australia as her new home.

From April to October, we sail to the best Pacific tropical islands, lagoons, and anchorages of Oceania. An authentic trans-Tasman square rig passage from the ship's new base in Sydney Harbour to New Zealand offers blue water sailing at its best. An ocean passage from New Zealand to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands sets Soren Larsen up for a tropical trade wind route in a series of voyages across Polynesia and Melanesia. From Raro, we sail north and west to the remote northern Cooks, Robert Louis Stevenson's Samoa, the whale breeding grounds of northern Tonga, and colorful Fiji. We explore the wild untouched beauty and undisturbed culture of the islands of Vanuatu and the classical South Sea beauty of New Caledonia. A sailing passage from Noumea to Lord Howe and Sydney completes an incredible season's voyaging.
