THE ENDLESS OCEAN

THE PACIFIC IS THE WORLD'S BIGGEST OCEAN, BUT WITH SO MANY OPTIONS HOW DO YOU PLAN A ROUTE ACROSS? CRUISERS SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES

- 

It's perfectly possible to cross the South Pacific in a single season, albeit the timeline gives no opportunity for lingering and requires some good fortune and sound preparations in avoiding poor weather or breakages that might cause delays.

Likewise, such is the vastness of the world's biggest ocean, that some sailors have devoted half a lifetime to exploring its many islands and archipelagos, yet could never see it all.

Those planning a crossing will be governed by how much time they have, as that will determine where to go while avoiding cyclone season (November-May).
