Sun-Kissed Voyage – Noumea & Port Vila

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Sydney on February 21, 2027 visits Noumea, Port Vila and Mystery 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. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Port Vila, Vanuatu's tropical capital of volcano thrills. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Anthem of the Seas keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 7 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 Sydney before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
