Beskrivelse
In conjunction with several cruise ship lines, we have prepared a map of the South Pacific Ocean, Which extends southwards from Hawai’i to the southern tip of New Zealand and eastwards from central Australia/Papua New Guinea to the Pitcairn Islands. Thus, it does not include the popular South East Asia and China coast routes. We think this has to change at a time when 25,000,000 people are travelling by cruise ships. At the same time, we must keep coverage area relevant for those end users of the artwork. Even at 1:12M, most of the area covered is water, with island countries such as Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tahiti, and the Cook Islands being visible, but without detail. For those readers more familiar with Caribbean or Mediterranean cruising, the reason for our focus on the South Pacific is due to the fact that this region of the world is the fastest-growing portion of cruise travel growth. The map of the South Pacific region fills one side of the map.The reverse side of the artwork covers the two entities known collectively as Samoa, which has been included for two reasons. First, it is in the centre of the South Pacific and several cruise companies stop at Pago Pago. Second, the two Samoas form a unit that is not contiguous with any other part of the vast Pacific region. Independent Western Samoa consists of two main islands and two small islands, which have been portrayed at 1:160,000 scale. An inset map of the capital, Apia is included.
