9 Day Vanuatu & New Caledonia Cruise

This 9-Day Vanuatu & New Caledonia Cruise is a round-trip cruise departing from Sydney and exploring tropical islands in the South Pacific. The cruise begins with an afternoon departure from Sydney before spending the first two days at sea, giving guests time to explore the ship’s entertainment, dining, pools and relaxation areas. Onboard, passengers can enjoy features like comedy shows, waterslides, spa facilities and multiple restaurants while travelling toward the islands.

The cruise visits three island destinations: Lifou, Mystery Island, and Noumea. Spending about a full day at each to explore beaches, snorkel, experience local culture, or join shore excursions. Lifou is known for its coral reefs and white-sand beaches, Mystery Island offers a remote tropical experience, and Noumea blends French-influenced culture with markets and coastal attractions. After the islands, two relaxing sea days lead back to Sydney, creating a balanced South Pacific getaway with both adventure and onboard leisure.

The Itinerary

Depart Sydney as the sun is setting, surrounded by the iconic landmarks, you'll get front row seat to the most beautiful harbour in the world. Settle into your room before setting out to enjoy your first onboard meal.

These two days are spent cruising across the Pacific Ocean toward the islands, giving passengers time to enjoy the ship’s facilities. Guests can relax by the pool, attend trivia games or cooking demonstrations, visit the spa, or take part in fitness classes and onboard entertainment. In the evenings there are theatre shows, comedy performances, themed parties, and live music across the ship.

The ship arrives at Lifou, a small island known for its white sand beaches, coral reefs, and crystal-clear water. Because there is no large port, passengers are taken ashore by tender boats to spend the day exploring or relaxing by the beach. Popular activities include snorkelling in the lagoon, visiting local markets, or walking to scenic viewpoints overlooking the island.

Mystery Island is a tiny tropical island surrounded by turquoise lagoons and vibrant coral reefs. The day is usually spent swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, or simply relaxing under palm trees on the beach. Local villagers arrive to sell handmade souvenirs, jewellery, and fresh tropical fruit at small island markets.

The cruise stops in Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, which blends French culture with South Pacific scenery. Visitors can explore waterfront promenades, relax at beaches like Anse Vata, or enjoy French cafés and bakeries around the city. Shore excursions often include reef tours, visits to nearby islands, or trips to the Aquarium of the Lagoons.

The final two days are spent sailing back toward Australia while enjoying the ship’s facilities. Passengers can relax by the pool, visit the spa, take part in games and trivia, or attend cooking demonstrations and entertainment activities. Evenings usually feature major theatre shows, live music, and farewell celebrations before the cruise ends.

The ship arrives back in Sydney early in the morning, marking the end of the cruise. Guests have breakfast onboard before disembarking and collecting their luggage at the terminal. By mid-morning most passengers have left the ship and completed their journey.
