The 226-foot-long vessel features six stately cabins, including a split-level primary suite; spacious lower and upper salons; and a gorgeous sundeck dedicated to wellness, with a hammam, a gym, and a treatment room, plus a Jacuzzi and a cold plunge pool. Firebird’s 19-person crew for 12 guests translates to exceptional service and attention to detail.
The engaging itinerary is extraordinary, too. Visit the serene mangrove forests of the Russell Islands, and dive to explore limestone caverns. Glimpse three species of turtles on the pristine beaches of Tetepare Island, and view remnants of important World War II battle sites in Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands, on the island of Guadalcanal. Another highlight: the UNESCO World Heritage–designated Marovo Lagoon, the world’s largest saltwater lagoon, with its double-barrier reef and standout diversity of coral and fish.
After a full day of exploration, sit down to a leisurely al fresco meal. What’s for dinner? Perhaps caviar and blue cheese, followed by beet-marinated salmon with fennel remoulade and apple, and a salted caramel tart for the sweet finish. From $700,000 for a weeklong charter; y.co — Tanvi Cheda
