Vanuatu Connection – Noumea & Port Vila

About this cruise

There's a reason 9-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Sydney on November 8, 2027 and visits Noumea, Port Vila and Lelepa Island Vanuatu. 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. Big cities, reef snorkelling, and New Zealand's green mountains. Genuinely varied. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 15 restaurants on Anthem of the Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
