Dear Traveler,
 
    Sail with TravelQuest International and Sky & Telescope across Polynesia to discover a span of islands unmatched for their mysterious allure, historical interest, scenic beauty and to witness the April 8, 2005, total solar eclipse. During our 25-night cruise-tour, we’ll visit mysterious Easter Island, the remote Pitcairn and Gambier Islands, exotic Bora Bora and Tahiti, uninhabited atolls ruled by tropical birds, and authentic villages where age-old customs endure. Palm trees, tropical lagoons, and pristine sandy beaches are only the beginning of the story. Be one of the few that will experience the April 8, 2005 total solar eclipse in the South Pacific.
 

    One of Sky & Telescope’s editors will join a distinguished group of expert lecturers who throughout the program will give talks on astronomy, ornithology, botany, ecology and archeology.
 

    Our ship, the 150-passenger World Discoverer’s relative small size, speed and maneuverability will allow us the flexibility to take advantage of expedition opportunities as they arise. Each excursion ashore is conducted in small groups to accommodate varying levels of physical ability of passengers.
 

    Reserve your space today. There are only 85 staterooms on the World Discoverer, and the best ones go quickly!
