Day 4: Mystery Island
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.
Day 5: Port Vila
If there was ever a South Pacific city built for visiting, it’s Port Vila. A Carnival Port Vila cruise sails into the Port Vila cruise terminal on the south western coast and into the heart of the capital of Vanuatu. A shore excursion as part of a Port Vila cruise opens up everything this beautiful part of the world has to offer.
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: Santo
It was rumoured to be the the inspiration for the musical South Pacific, journey to the tropical paradise of Espiritu Santo, or Santo for short.
On a Santo cruise you can experience everything there is to love about the Vanuatu archipelago, all in one spot. With a Santo cruise you can dive among the wrecks of the dumped American naval and military craft at Million Dollar Point, swim the coral reef in crystal clear waters, walk along the white beaches, and experience the relaxation of taking a dip in the Blue Hole. And do it all onboard Carnival, creating fun and adventure along the way.
Day 7: Fun Day At Sea
