Cruise Highlights:

Sydney
Sydney is one of the most invigorating and positive cities you could ever hope to visit. A modern metropolis on a spectacular harbour, Sydney is blessed with great weather, great dining, great nightlife, great shopping and a great attitude.

Isle of Pines
This striking island is one of the most picturesque areas of the South Pacific and will leave a lasting impression on you. Walk along its 1.25km white sand beach.

Vila
The substantial dock and port area of Port Vila overlooks a natural harbour. There are beautiful coastal views of the city with its clusters of houses and small scale resorts nestled amongst tropical vegetation makes an attractive scene. The harbour is quite active with fishing boats, yachts and speedboats passing between the various nearby islands.

The dock bustles with dancers and music and there are lots of friendly locals selling handicrafts.

The covered market place is a colourful and interesting place to visit selling handicrafts, fruits and colourful tropical flowers.

Port Vila is clearly visible from deck and is around 1.5 kilometres from the port. The capital is really just one long street with a few smaller streets intersecting it. The main street Lini Highway has lots of shops some bars and restaurants. Many of the resort hotels with excellent restaurants and bars are easily accessible.

Santo, Vanuatu
Santo is becoming a popular destination with tourists because of its beautiful undiscovered beaches (many only a short drive from the ship), island resorts, fascinating traditional villages and WWII American wartime relics such as the President Coolidge.

Mystery Island, Vanuatu
This small, uninhabited island is one of the most southern of the Vanuatu group. Mystery Island was used as a World War II landing strip for the allied forces. There is now absolutely no tourism development except for the occasional visit by our ship. There are no roads, no shops and no stress!

The locals from a nearby island will come to sell their few shells and goods and your day may be spent relaxing on the sand while their ëstring bandi plays songs of welcome. The surrounding reefs offer ideal opportunities for experienced snorkellers.
