Adventure awaits!

Sydney is home to two of the world’s most famous landmarks – the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, both perfectly situated on the magnificent harbour.

All the flavour and ambience of a bustling, sophisticated provincial french town with the friendly charms, adventure and heavenly climate of the pacific islands in Noumea.

Long stretches of white sand beach in Lifou, small coves, limestone caves, grottos and imposing cliffs give the island one of the most dramatic landscapes in the pacific.

This incredibly beautiful conglomeration of pure white sand, palm trees and coral reefs provides the perfect place to relax and unwind in Mystery Island.

Port Vila has seen more history and change than many towns ten or even a hundred times its size. when it comes to culture, tradition and history, this is a city with an incredible depth of each.

Your next Adventure!

We can’t wait for you to experience Pacific Adventure’s new restaurants, bars and other exciting features, including Byron Beach Club, and a dedicated family pool area with loads of family-oriented activities and an all-weather retractable roof. Get ready to challenge your family, friends and new-found friends on Pacific Adventures Twin Racer Waterslides!

Foodies rejoice! Experience what Australian celebrity chef, Luke Mangan, has to offer at Luke’s Bar & Grill. Be sure to enjoy an elegant cocktail or two at Luke's Bar, before you dine. If you’re permanently poolside, order takeaway pizza from P&O Pizzeria or try Luke’s Burger Bar for a signature burger, both located near the main pool on Deck 14. Head to the Lobby, located on Deck 5. It is the perfect place to sit and watch the (ship’s) world go by.

Choose from three fabulous bars, Lilly's, Charlie's and Avalon Cafe for your favourite drink, a snack, a quick lunch or a cheese platter. We’re sure the Lobby will become your favourite new hangout place. If you’re in the mood for something more lively, head to Altitude, our nightclub on Deck 18.
