The lands around the Ring of Fire rise slowly out of the infinite Pacific telling a tale that is as old as the earth itself - of continents colliding to create spectacular mountain ranges, including the Ring of Fire, the continuous volcanic chain that encircles the Pacific. This grand journey across the Pacific is filled with some of the most memorable sights on earth - Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, a land of fire and ice that remains one of the wildest places on earth, the ancient treasures of the Far East, New Zealand and the wonders Down Under and the intoxicating islands of French Polynesia.
Come divine secrets of ancient civilizations and gaze upon scenes of mesmerizing beauty. Geysers gushing across a rugged landscape. The perfect symmetry of a pagoda at sunrise, rising phantom- like over a misty plain. Swirling patterns of a Maori warrior's ritual tattoos. Sampans in mist-shrouded harbors at dawn. Amazing visions. Amazing cruises.
