Known for its friendly residents and beautiful landscape, Lifou is located off the French island of New Caledonia.

The locals live across the waters on Tanna and visit the island during the day to spread their warmth, culture and wares. It's the perfect spot for couples, beach lovers, or anyone looking to lounge in an ocean of beauty and literally get away from it all.

Day at Sea Highlights
Day 7 2026-11-16 Luganville, Vanuatu Docked from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm
Luganville is the second-largest town on Vanuatu, one of over 300 islands located in Melanesia. Its population is extremely diverse, with over 100 different languages, a multitude of dialects, and a South Pacific island heritage that spans over 3,000 years of immigration. On Luganville's main street, (which is unusually wide, thanks to a WWII general's insistence that it should accommodate four trucks abreast) you'll find reasonably-priced restaurants along with interesting general stores, shops, and boutiques.
Day 8 2026-11-17 Vila, Vanuatu Docked from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm
Vanuatu is a lush, verdant, tropical land that has risen out of the sea on coral beds formed by volcanoes. The mix of rugged coral coastlines, sandy beaches, beautiful waterfalls, thick jungles, and blue lagoons makes it one of the most charming ports worldwide. Port Vila offers dozens of places to visit, island feasts to sample local flavors, museums, and quaint little back streets to explore. It offers an array of tours and adventure, waterfront restaurants, and lively markets. The islands and people of Vanuatu also have an appeal that you simply won’t find elsewhere.
Day 9 2026-11-18 Noumea, New Caledonia Docked from 1:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Journey to a casual and cosmopolitan French colonial city of turquoise water and white-sand beaches. Nouméa offers world-class beaches, incredible snorkeling and diving opportunities, and a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for shopping, sitting at a seaside café, or strolling. Called the French Riviera of the Pacific, Nouméa boasts lovely French seaside restaurants, boutiques selling the finest Parisian designs, and streets lined with French colonial architecture. Nouméa’s cuisine reflects the city’s French roots. French flavors, fresh seafood, and local specialties such as Bougna (a Melanesian dish of seafood, chicken, and local produce) and mangrove oysters are all on the menu at Nouméa. Visit the Place des Cocotiers, where you can explore local artisanal goods, fashion, and taste delicious homemade specialties. Journey to the summit of Ouen Toro Hill for incredible views of the bay and city below. Explore the city’s rich colonial and World War II history at key landmarks and museums which feature World War relics and Melanesian art. Visit Nouméa’s aquarium, where you can view endangered sea turtles, or plunge into Nouméa’s wildlife-rich water and see a beautiful coral reef.

That includes The Lawn Club, where you can kick back on the grass, take in a live concert, get lost in a good book, or just soak up the ocean views. Our ice-topped Martini Bar is the center of the action on Celebrity Solstice, and it became such a hit, it’s now a fleet-wide institution. The restaurants set a whole new bar for dining at sea, with our first-ever Tuscan Grille and our elegant and intimate Murano. Slow things down at The Spa or kick up your endorphins at the Fitness Center. And let us entertain you morning, noon, and night, from our incredible theater productions to live pop-up performances around the ship to non-stop thrills at the casino. Plus, you can share your vacation memories as they happen with Starlink high-speed internet.

And then, there’s The Retreat®, where the suite life is elevated with personal butler service, private dining, and an exclusive lounge. Make yourself at home—oceans away from home—on Celebrity Solstice.
