CRUISING SOUTH PACIFIC — PHOTO EDITION

This book tells us the very interesting story of a cruise voyage abord the MS Oosterdam of Holland America Lines. The vessel departed Sydney port and made some stops on the way at Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia. It took six days to complete the journey and five more days were spent on the beautiful islands of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, reading this story is almost same thing as being there. You will enjoy it...

I was travelling with my partner and travelling companion, Jill. This was our 13th cruise and our fourth cruise amongst the Pacific islands. As the previous Pacific cruises took place between 2003 and 2007, we were keen to get an update of these exciting destinations. We joined the cruise at the last minute as our friends and social club members were making up a travel group and had managed to negotiate a good deal for the group.

We’d found from experience that travelling with a group can add an additional layer of fun and enjoyment to the cruise. There were 34 members of the Probus Club of Breakfast Point in our party. Breakfast Point is a residential community located on a picturesque 53 acres on the Parramatta River some 30 minutes ferry ride from downtown Sydney.
