🏝️ Two Maps in One
🧭 Side A – South Pacific Ocean & Cruise Routes
Covers the entire South Pacific Ocean from Hawai‘i to New Zealand, and from Papua New Guinea and eastern Australia to the Pitcairn Islands. This side offers:
-
📍 Cruise Routes indicated with red dashed lines (note: cruise line names not specified due to route overlaps)
-
🌊 Oceanic Relief with subtle hill shading that reveals deep Pacific trenches and undersea contours
-
🌐 Key island groups such as Fiji, Tonga, Tahiti, Kiribati, the Cook Islands, and New Caledonia
-
🚢 Perfect for visualising long-range cruising patterns and port stopovers
💡 Note: Due to the vast oceanic scale (approx. 1:12,000,000), island detail is generalized for regional overview purposes.

Focused, detailed cartography of both Samoa and American Samoa:
-
🏝️ Main islands of Upolu, Savai‘i, and Tutuila shown at 1:160,000 scale
