Melanesian Currents – Savusavu, Port Vila & Sydney

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 11 nights from Lautoka on December 1, 2027, visiting Port Denarau-Nadi, Savusavu, Dravuni Island Fiji, Port Vila, Mystery Island and Sydney. You finish in Sydney. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Australia & New Zealand route takes in Fiji, Vanuatu and Australia, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Sydney alone is worth the trip, Where the Opera House meets the harbour. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Spirit keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Lautoka before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Worth booking. That's the short version.
