Adventure awaits!

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.

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.

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.

Take a Lifou cruise and enjoy the stunning local fare, amazing guided tours, and views to die for. On a Lifou cruise in the South Pacific Islands, you can swim with the very friendly fish in the marine reserve, visit the secret grotto, and enjoy everything the tropical paradise has to offer.

• Visit the Cliffs of Jokin.
• Hike through tropical vegetation.
• Snorkel in the marine reserve.
• Tour the vanilla plantation.
