Coral Loom – Suva, Noumea & Lifou

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Brisbane on January 6, 2027, visiting Lautoka, Suva, Dravuni Island Fiji, Mystery Island, Noumea and Lifou Island. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Australia & New Zealand route takes in Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Grand Princess keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. You start in Brisbane and come back with stories from Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
