Ocean Discovery – Lelepa, Vila & Brisbane

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Brisbane on December 21, 2027 visits Lelepa Island Vanuatu and Port Vila. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 2 port calls start. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. Port Vila alone is worth the trip, Vanuatu's tropical capital of volcano thrills. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Ovation Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 16 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Brisbane before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Worth booking. That's the short version.
