I would like to suggest
www.clippercruise.com. Their ship, the Odyssey, which sails the South Pacific is gorgeous. Total passengers about 120. I have done their Fiji-New Caledonia-Vanuatu-Australia cruise which was fantastic. Also, just came back from a cruise from Homer, Alaska to Siberia. Not the typical scenery which you see on southern Alaska cruises but beautiful in it's own way and lots of wildlife. Landings are by zodiac unless docking is available. You would have to like "expedition" cruising. This is a highly rated cruise company by many magazines. I don't believe they are offering the same trip as above next year in the South Pacific but there might be similar.
