1 ABOARD THE CALEDONIAN SKY March 3 to 20, 2019 a program of the stanford alumni association

2 Time spent in a tropical paradise is a welcome respite at the end of a wet and chilly winter in the Northern Hemisphere. It s especially welcome when combined with congenial fellow travelers, knowledgeable staff and enlightening talks from expert faculty. We are once again returning to the islands and atolls that comprise Micronesia with our longtime expedition partner, Zegrahm Expeditions. Widely known as one of the most pristine places for underwater activities, Micronesian waters teem with more than 1,300 species of tropical fish. Micronesia is also home to fabulous birds sporting a riot of brightly colored feathers and exhibiting equally colorful behaviors. We will wind our way from Papua New Guinea to Palau, exploring as we sail. We hope you ll join us! BRETT S. THOMPSON, 83, DIRECTOR, STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY RAI STONE Highlights VISIT the famed archaeological site, Nan Madol, with its 92 man-made islands, on the island of Pohnpei. SNORKEL or dive nearly every day as we sail from one exquisite atoll to another in the Federated States of Micronesia. EXPLORE underwater the Ghost Fleet of nearly 50 sunken WWII Japanese warships and hundreds of sunken planes in Chuuk (Truk) Lagoon. WATCH for Pacific golden-plovers, Chuuk monarchs, black noodies and many tropic seabirds on hikes and from the deck of our ship. COVER: DAMSELFISH, PALAU PALAU

3 Excellent staff, lectures and guides. I m glad I went with Stanford. HEATHER HUDSON, MA 69, PHD 74, TAHITI TO EASTER ISLAND, 2017 Stanford Faculty Leader STEPHEN PALUMBI has long been fascinated by how quickly the world around us changes, particularly in the oceans. His research projects have ranged from identifying whale and dolphin products that end up for sale in commercial markets to developing new methods of fishery and marine park design. About Micronesia, Palumbi says, I love the intersection there of worldliness and isolated charm; the people are hugely focused on the oceans culturally and economically, yet they re also part of the world stage. The work we do while jumping onto coral reefs around the world enables us to help preserve these amazing places for future generations. He s looking forward to traveling with us to Micronesia and discussing such topics as the cultural history of the Central Pacific; types of coral and how they mate, grow and defend themselves; bioluminescence; what Darwin discovered about the formation of atolls; and which reef fish sleep and where. Jane and Marshal Steel Jr. Professor in Marine Sciences, department of biology, Stanford University, since 2002 Senior fellow, Stanford s Woods Institute for the Environment, since 2011 Harold A. Miller Director of the Hopkins Marine Station, Pacific Grove, from 2008 to 2017; researcher since 2002 Co-author: The Extreme Life of the Sea, Princeton University Press, 2015; and The Death and Life of Monterey Bay: A Story of Revival, Island Press, 2012 Participant in several t.v. series: The Big Ocean, PBS; The Future Is Wild, BBC; Life After People, History Channel; etc. Expedition Leaders Since 1990 Stanford Travel/Study has partnered with Zegrahm Expeditions to combine some of the world s most remote and remarkable destinations with expedition leaders and naturalists who are experts in their fields and passionate about the natural wonders we encounter. Joining Professor Palumbi on this expedition are expedition leader Michael Moore, marine biologist Jack Grove, social anthropologist Shirley Campbell, conservation biologist Rich Pagen and ornithologist Brent Stephenson.

INDONESIA PAPUA NEW GUINEA Tingwon Islands Rabaul Itinerary SUNDAY & MONDAY, MARCH 3 & 4 DEPART U.S. Board independent flights to Australia, losing a day crossing the international date line en route. TUESDAY, MARCH 5 CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA Arrive in Cairns today and transfer to our hotel for an afternoon at leisure. Gather this evening for a welcome reception and dinner at our hotel. SHANGRI-LA HOTEL (D) WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6 CAIRNS / RABAUL, PAPUA NEW GUINEA / EMBARK CALEDONIAN SKY Transfer to the airport after breakfast for an independent flight to Rabaul. Ringing Rabaul s dramatic flooded-caldera harbor are six cone-shaped volcanoes, some of which are still active. Visit the bubbling hot springs and take in magnificent views from Observatory Ridge. Learn about the island s World War II history Rabaul was a Japanese stronghold under Admiral Yamamoto. Embark the Caledonian Sky and settle in to our suites. After dinner from Cairns onboard, attend a performance of the Baining tribe s amazing fire dance. Tribe members in huge, magnificently crafted masks leap and dance over crackling, redhot coals in a centuries-old ritual to honor the local deity-spirits. THURSDAY, MARCH 7 TINGWON ISLANDS Completely encircled by an oblong reef, this small group of islands is visited by very few passenger vessels. After landing on a sandy beach, we ll be met by the 350 inhabitants of charming Tingwon a picture-perfect village and enjoy their hospitality, local delicacies and dances. This afternoon snorkel or dive along the islets surrounding reef. FRIDAY, MARCH 8 AT SEA During a full day at sea, partake in our lecture program, learning about the Federated States of Micronesia, formerly the Caroline Islands, whose long colonial history includes administration by the U.S. after WWII. Many islands are so remote that the traditional villages are nearly untouched by tourism. Also, join naturalists on deck to search for tropical seabirds and marine mammals. SATURDAY, MARCH 9 KAPINGAMARANGI, FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA This morning, travel by Zodiac to the shores of remote Kapingamarangi for a tour of the small community there, where fishing and cultivating taro are the main industries. In the afternoon, snorkel in the lagoon over stunning coral gardens full of colorful reef fish including lionfish, pipefish and moray eels. Divers can venture via Zodiac to the edges of the reef, keeping an eye out for black-tipped reef sharks and other pelagic wildlife. SUNDAY, MARCH 10 NUKUORO ATOLL A chain of tiny islets encircling a sparkling, emerald lagoon, Nukuoro is one of the most stunning atolls in Micronesia. Meet with local inhabitants and wander through lush vegetation and gardens of taro, banana and breadfruit. Swim or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the atoll before returning to our ship for an afternoon at sea. CALEDONIAN SKY (B,L,D) MONDAY, MARCH 11 POHNPEI ISLAND Today, discover the many attractions of Pohnpei, a craggy volcanic island with dense rain forests of towering trees, elegant ferns, tumbling waterfalls and luxuriant moss. Hike along an upland nature trail on Pohnpei to search for the Pohnpei lorikeet, Micronesian pigeon and Pohnpei flycatcher or tour Pohnpei s famed archaeological site, Nan Madol, a National Historic Landmark, where we can explore some of the 92 megalithic manmade islands, once the residence of royalty and priests of the Saudeleurs from about the 12th to 15th centuries. CALEDONIAN SKY (B,L,D) TUESDAY, MARCH 12 OROLUK ATOLL We spend today at Oroluk Atoll, whose sole inhabitants, a family of eight, will show us their gardens of hibiscuses, bananas and sweet potatoes. A short forest walk takes us past taro patches to a copra processing area. Beachcomb along the lovely shoreline, keeping an eye out for hawksbill and Pacific green sea turtle nests, while birders look for ruddy turnstones, black noddies,

5 CHUUK LAGOON white-tailed tropicbirds and Micronesian starlings. Snorkeling and diving along this classic atoll s ring of coral with only a few islets around its perimeter are superb, with the chance to spot blacktipped reef sharks and coral trout. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13 CHUUK (TRUK) ISLAND One of the highlights of our expedition is our visit to Chuuk Lagoon, a world-renowned paradise for wreck divers. In 1944, American bombers sunk nearly 50 Japanese Imperial Navy vessels and more than 200 aircraft that were harbored here; the armada is visible today in an intriguing and vast museum-like underwater environment of unparalleled intrigue that s accessible to both divers and snorkelers. Nature has transformed these wrecks and their artifacts into an underwater wonderland, colonized by a mosaic of corals, sponges, anemones and sea fans and a haven for fish by the thousands. In addition, we can take Zodiacs to idyllic white-sand shores and dazzling coral reefs teeming with life, while birders search the islets for seabirds. THURSDAY, MARCH 14 PULAP ATOLL Arriving at Pulap Atoll, we visit the villages of Pulap and Tamatam, known for their skilled navigators whose expertise also shines as builders of long canoes made of breadfruit wood. Also note older canoes that are hand-sewn with traditional sennit and may feature the silhouette of a black frigatebird on the bow. With the chief s permission, wander at leisure through this traditional village. Snorkel, dive, beachcomb or sit under a palm tree to while away the afternoon by the islet s shallow aquamarine lagoon. CALEDONIAN SKY (B,L,D) FRIDAY, MARCH 15 SATAWAL ISLAND Step ashore on Satawal Island and be met by the women of the village adorned in lava-lava skirts, their skin tinted by turmeric who have come to perform welcoming dances for us. The men of Satawal, famed for their mastery of ocean navigation without the use of instruments, still voyage among the islands of Micronesia in outrigger canoes, relying on the sun, stars and ocean swells to guide them. SATURDAY, MARCH 16 IFALIK ATOLL This tiny, classic, circular atoll, with only three islets, represents the most authentic aspects of the Federated States of Micronesia s traditional state, Yap. Its chiefs are intent upon maintaining cultural integrity motor-powered boats are banned within the lagoon, as are televisions in the village. The islanders live in thatched-roofed houses set under shady trees. After watching lyrical dances by grass-skirted women, wander and admire the island handicrafts, including unique fish hooks fashioned from golden-lipped pearl shells. In the afternoon choose to snorkel, dive, sail in one of the atoll s distinctive outrigger canoes or go birding with our ornithologist. SUNDAY, MARCH 17 SOROL ISLAND This afternoon, watch for green turtles as our Zodiacs zigzag through coral reefs and shallow sandbars en route to one of Sorol Island s white-sand beaches. Snorkel over a coral drop-off or enjoy a dive in deeper waters populated by large pelagic fish. Spend the afternoon at sea, cruising the South Pacific Ocean and enjoying the many amenities our ship has to offer. CALEDONIAN SKY (B,L,D) MONDAY, MARCH 18 NGULU ATOLL Today, stop at the large, stunning Ngulu Atoll, its ring-shaped lagoon bordered by tiny islets with swaying palm trees and beaches that offer a nesting ground to sea turtles. Go ashore to meet with the chief and the small number of villagers living here. Afterward, visit the nearby palm-dotted sandy islets for nature walks, birding, snorkeling and diving. Enjoy a festive farewell reception before dinner to celebrate our South Seas adventure. TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19 & 20 KOROR, REPUBLIC OF PALAU / DISEMBARK / U.S. Disembark on Tuesday in Palau and check in to our hotel.
