Discover Vanuatu cruise

Located on the southernmost point of the Vanuatu archipelago, Mystery Island is uninhabited. Formerly used by the Allied forces as a landing strip in WWII, palm trees, sandy beaches and sweet seclusion are all that remain. The locals live across the water on Tanna and visit the island by day to spread their warmth, culture, and wares.

Port Vila, or simply Vila, is the capital of Vanuatu and our second port of call. Set around pretty Vila Bay and a series of lagoons, beaches and offshore islands, Vila is a compact but bustling port town with restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops and nearby attractions such as the Mele Cascades waterfall. Check out Mama’s Market, the cultural hub of Vanuatu, where you can sample sweet, local bananas or shop for traditional handicrafts. Or take a boat excursion to Pele Island. Here, you’ll discover picturesque beaches shaded by palm trees overlooking clear, blue seas perfect for snorkelling. If you have the kids in tow and want to treat them to some serious thrills, zorbing, jetboating, and abseiling are just some of the adventurous pursuits available in Vila.

Our third port of call in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia is Lifou, an idyllic island of white sand beaches, small coves, limestone caves, and stunning cliffs. Swimming and snorkelling reign supreme here.

A final stop is made at the idyllic Isle of Pines. Surrounded by the New Caledonia Reef, the Isle of Pines is full of pine trees and fine beaches. A major drawcard is Oro natural pool. Surrounded by towering pine trees and separated from the ocean by a coral reef, this place is magical. As you float in the clear, cooling waters of Oro lagoon, it’s as if time has stopped.

Onboard Pacific Adventure, there is something for every member of the family to enjoy. Families will love the dedicated, indoor-outdoor family space, open 365 days a year.

Along with a host of great benefits, you’ll gain access to Byron Beach Club, a private retreat with a pool, spas, and comfy seating, located on the top deck of the ship.
