Day 4 Fri, Nov 13, 2026 Lifou, Loyalty Island Tendered from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm

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

Picturesque cliff-top views, secluded beaches, fascinating caves, and rich traditional culture create a backdrop for a perfect stop.

Day 5 Sat, Nov 14, 2026 Mystery Island, Vanuatu Tendered from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

Located on the southernmost point of the Vanuatu archipelago, this little jewel of the South Pacific is completely uninhabited. Formerly used as an allied force landing strip during WWII, today only palm trees and sweet seclusion grow from the white sand of Mystery Island. 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 7 Mon, Nov 16, 2026 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 Tue, Nov 17, 2026 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 Wed, Nov 18, 2026 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.

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.
