With passengers numbering more than 400, Samoa is yet again to be graced by a large and modern luxury cruiseship. "The MS Delphin Voyager" - a very new ship whose maiden voyage was just last year – will arrive to Apia’s port tomorrow at midday.

Apia is the second to last stop before Lautoka on the 23 day cruise of Mexico and the South Pacific Paradises. This cruise is part four of a 161 day world cruise. Spain, Brazil, Jamaica and Mexico were some of the more notable stops made before the ship headed into the heart of Polynesia toward Samoa. New Zealand, Portugal and South Africa are all to be explored after the Pacific leg of the journey. Polynesian Xplorer will be providing tours for many of the ships passengers, with an exciting beach excursion to Tafatafa Beach, and another to Piula Cave Pools.

Once again, Polynesian Xplorer will be providing bi-lingual tours, as many of the ship’s passengers are German speaking. Certainly our shared history and some of the historical monuments will be the focus of two, half day shore excursions. In design, the ship is a successful symbiosis of classic style and modern features. With a beauty salon, spa, sauna, on-board travel agent, library, lounge, bars and much more, the ship is designed to cater to your every need onboard. The ship’s heart and centre is the atrium, which ascends three decks. So if you’re in town tomorrow, look out for the passengers proceeding into Apia township in the afternoon!
