Pacific Boats and Ships

The diversity of ships and boats plying Pacific waters is a barrel of fun. Cruise ships dock briefly in the main ports, but the islands and islanders are served on a daily basis by a variety of vessels. Our travel pictures focus on the workaday ferries which link the capitals to the outer islands. Get ready to embark on an adventure.
