Day breaks as National Geographic Orion cuts a shimmering path east toward the Cook Islands. Vibrant turquoise waves cradle us while onboard experts regale us with stories of lustrous pearls, ancient Polynesian tattoo traditions, and the delicate symbiosis threading life together. The day ends with golden light dancing on the horizon, promising new discoveries and wonder just beyond tomorrow’s dawn.
