Banyan & Blue Lagoon – Luganville & Lelepa

About this cruise

This one leaves Brisbane on March 17, 2028 and spends 7 nights visiting Luganville and Lelepa Island Vanuatu at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The distances are huge, which makes the sea days feel earned, and the ports feel worth it. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Voyager Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Brisbane has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Brisbane and come back with stories from Luganville and Lelepa Island Vanuatu.
