South Pacific Grandeur – Noumea & Port Vila

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves Sydney on January 2, 2027 and visits Noumea, Mystery Island, Luganville, Port Vila and Lifou Island. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. Don't rush through Port Vila, which is known as Vanuatu's tropical capital of volcano thrills. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Edge has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And a January cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 5 ports across 12 nights covers a lot.
