Paradise Passage: from the Philippines to Raja Ampat
Sail south from Manila through the warm, island-scattered waters of the Philippines, then cross open ocean to one of the most extraordinary places on earth. Raja Ampat is remote, breathtakingly beautiful, and home to the richest marine ecosystems ever recorded — a destination that rewards every day spent exploring its hidden bays, ancient atolls and luminous lagoons. Few expedition ships reach it. Fewer still spend four days among its islands
