The famed “Ring of Fire” that circles the mighty Pacific Ocean is one of nature’s most powerful elements. Indeed, over millennia its volcanic forces have shaped continents and given birth to thousands of islands. Today these places are teaming with natural wonders and cultural adventures. 

Luxury cruisers can now embark on a fascinating and rare 120-night Asia-Pacific circumnavigation on Seven Seas Mariner around the “Ring of Fire”.
