What to expect

Escape to the South Pacific on a cruise. Join Pacific Adventure for a cruise to some of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
Enjoy a few days at sea with time to explore Pacific Adventure before arriving at Mystery Island.

The South Pacific’s most cosmopolitan city is also its most French. Take a shore tour and be treated to authentic French crêpes, baguettes, croissants and cheeses. Once you tear yourself away from the table, Noumea is also famed for its gorgeous beaches, beautiful bays and oh-so-chic shops. Ooh la la!

The next 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.

Visit Mare on your third stop. With a proud Melanesian heritage reaching back thousands of years, friendly French speaking locals, towering cliffs, crystal water and whitesand beaches, rustic Maré offers a genuine cultural experience with a French twist, stunning landscapes and reef colours you won’t see anywhere else in the world.

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. There’s a pool, waterslides, family games, family parties and more. Dine at the Waterfront, Dragon Lady and Angelo’s Restaurants. And there is also casual dining available at The Pantry. Grab a drink and relax at The Oasis, enjoy a cocktail at Ocean Bar or head to the Blue Room for some live entertainment. See a live show, and then relax with a drink.

Have a boogie at Altitude, the nightclub on Deck 18*. Still hungry? Order an award-winning pizza at 400 Gradi. Splurge and book a suite or selected mini-suite. 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. On Pacific Adventure, you’ll find there’s something for everyone.
