A Lifou cruise allows you to experience a land of scenic contrast and natural beauty. As part of New Caldeonia’s Loyalty Island, a cruise to Lifou means enjoying one of the most beautiful places in the South Pacific. Crystal clear waters, white sands, and coral reefs are only part of the story.

Enjoy the natural beauty, the stunning beaches, the clear waters, and the amazing welcoming locals of the South Pacific Islands. A cruise to Port Vila will make you feel at home straight away, and there is so much to do for the whole family, year-round.

Day 6: Mystery Island

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Have you ever dreamed of escaping to a secluded, uninhabited island, far removed from the rest of the world? If so, a Mystery Island cruise with onboard activities from Sydney or Brisbane, Australia is the perfect adventure for you. This remote part of Vanuatu is exclusively visited by cruise passengers on cruise ships, offering a unique getaway experience.

Despite its lack of permanent residents, Mystery Island is brimming with shore excursions. The island gained popularity following a visit from Queen Elizabeth II in the 1970s, and it has since become a sought-after retreat. With its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and some of the region's best snorkelling spots, a Vanuatu cruise to the South Pacific islands is an absolute must.

  • Stroll along the pristine white sand beaches.
  • Go on a snorkelling or stand-up paddle-boarding adventure.
  • Witness the vibrant sea life via a boat.
  • Immerse yourself in the local culture.

Embark on an unforgettable South Pacific adventure to the heart of Noumea on one of our cruise ships. The 'Paris of the Pacific', Noumea, promises more sunshine days than any other Pacific Island capital.

With its white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and vibrant culture, a cruise to Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, from either Sydney or Brisbane is guaranteed to give you an experience that transcends the ordinary. Enjoy exploring the hustle and bustle of this thriving South Pacific Island and the fusion of the French and Melanesian flavours during one of our shore excursions. Immerse in the Kanak culture, from traditional music and dance to arts and crafts. The Kanak culture is a vibrant tapestry that reflects the rich heritage of New Caledonia.

Day 9: Norfolk Island

7:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Norfolk Island can trace its history back to at least the 18th Century and the legendary Captain Cook. Its true lineage, though, starts a few decades — and attempted settlements — later, when the village that became Norfolk was founded by natives of nearby Pitcairn Island and descendants of sailors from another piece of maritime history: the "Mutiny on the Bounty" incident. Given all this, history unsurprisingly abounds at the Norfolk Island Museum, while great examples of the island's native forest and iconic pine trees can be found within the Norfolk Island National Park. Another great pair of sights — the tree-lined cliffs and picturesque lagoons — can be found right on the coast, making a convincing case for Norfolk as a destination of unspoiled natural beauty.
