1. Seabourn
Boasting the port of Apia on Upolu on the agendas of their South Pacific cruises, Seabourn is a worthy cruise choice for exploring Samoa. The cruise line giant has a dizzying array of tours ranging from 29-day South Pacific voyages to 145-day round-the-world trips. Despite their giant selection of trips, Seabourn’s ships are relatively intimate for a more luxurious small-ship cruise experience.
