Day 4: Norfolk Island, Australia — Arrives: 08:00 - Departs: 18:00

Cascade Bay on Norfolk Island was originally occupied by Polynesians centuries ago, yet was generally considered uninhabited by the time Captain Cook landed in 1774. Used by the British as a convict penal outpost, the relocation of Pitcairn Islanders in 1856 began its permanent population. Near the main settlement of Burnt Pine, historic convict houses are ready to be explored, and you might even overhear some of the locals speaking the creole 'Norfuk' language, a mix of 18th century English and Tahitian.

Norfolk Island is a volcanic remnant and its shoreline largely consists of cliffs. The area around the base of Mount Bates is preserved as Norfolk Island National Park, home to native forest, including the distinctive tall, Norfolk Island pines and several indigenous palms and tree ferns.

The International Date Line

Please note: This day lasts 48 hours. Travelling from west to east the calendar date is changed one day backward when crossing the date line.

The International Date Line is an imaginary line of navigation on the Earth's surface running between the North Pole and the South Pole to demarcate a change from one calendar day to another. It passes across the middle of the Pacific Ocean approximately along the 180th degree of longitude, although it deviates at various points.

Traveling from east to west, the calendar date is changed one day forward upon crossing the halfway point. Likewise, when travelling west to east, the calendar date is changed one day backward when crossing the date line.

Please note: Seabourn voyage itineraries are based upon days actually spent on board, and the dates are noted for convenience, including days lost or gained in crossing the International Date Line. Departure days and disembarkation days are always quoted in local time and date.

Day 20: Kona, Hawaii, USA — Arrives: 09:00 - Departs: 23:00.

The island of Hawaii, called the Big Island, is the largest, youngest and most changeable of the Hawaiian Islands. It was the last in the chain to be formed and is still creating and re-creating itself. Lava flowing to the ocean in a sustained, years-long eruption of Kilauea, one of the world's most continuously active volcanoes, has added more than 3.5 square kilometres of topography.

It was on this island that the Polynesian voyagers are believed to have first set foot in Hawaii likely between AD 1000 and 1200. The first ruler of a united Kingdom of Hawaii, Kamehameha the Great, was born and died on the island. His statues Captain James Cook is also remembered with a memorial at Kealakekua Bay. He was the first known European to visit the islands and where he met his death.
