Coral Meridian – Suva, Dravuni & Noumea

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 13 nights from Sydney on March 20, 2027, visiting Lautoka, Suva, Dravuni Island Fiji, Mystery Island and Noumea. 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 route threads through 3 countries along the Australia & New Zealand coast: Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia. 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 has 10 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
