Sailing towards paradise: an unforgettable journey through New Caledonia and Vanuatu 


Discover the world from a unique perspective on your first cruise! 🚢 Join us as we take you on a magical onboard journey to New Caledonia and Vanuatu. 🏝️🌅

Taking a cruise with the P&O company is highly recommended for people who have never taken a cruise because they have the all-inclusive system (alcoholic drinks and soft drinks not included), restaurant reservations are very easy to manage on the ship. 🍽️ It has activities on the ship such as movies, casino, plays, gym, spa, theme parties...

If you have never gone on a cruise, the truth is that it is shocking to see the size of the ship and the impressive decoration that the ship has inside. Needless to say, the incredible views of sunrises and sunsets that you can enjoy every day. 🌞🌅 Inside the ship it has different restaurant offers, from open buffet to Asian restaurant, you can vary. If you are one of the people who likes to take advantage of an all-you-can-eat buffet, you will really enjoy this part. 😋🍽️

In addition, it has a pool only for adults 🏊‍♂️ and an exclusive area for the most luxurious rooms 🌟 and another pool for everyone. If you choose the cheapest rooms you should keep in mind that the bathrooms are not very spacious. The beds are quite comfortable and there is room service every day, and they give you extra towels for the pool. If you are a fan of movies/series 🍿🎬 or if you go with children 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, we recommend purchasing the internet package to be able to download what you want to watch on your mobile or computer. If you do not contract the internet on board, remember to download the P&O app before the cruise because it has a private messaging app on board to be able to stay in touch with the people you are traveling with. 📲💬

Excursions: We recommend that you do a little research on the places you are going to visit during the cruise before traveling. Every time the boat is going to make a stop it is better that you have planned a little about those things you want to know so that you can organize the day and make the most of it. Whether it's things like renting a car on the island 🚗 or hiring a tour that takes you wherever you want 🚌, where you're going to eat, etc.

Remember that when leaving the country you must take your passport with you and take out travel insurance, which is often mandatory for many destinations, this way you will avoid any setbacks.

Important tip: If you are prone to seasickness 🤢, bring medication or acupressure bracelets to avoid sea sickness. We take a pill at the beginning of the cruise and then we don't need to take anything, the body gets used to it and the truth is that it doesn't usually feel much. It is also advisable to choose cabins in the center of the boat ⚓ to reduce the sensation of movement. 🌊

Remember to print your suitcase tickets because you will leave large luggage at check-in and the cruise employees will take it to your room shortly after.
One more detail: Regarding luggage, the cruise offers basic hygiene items such as shampoo, shower gel and also a hair dryer and clothes iron. So if you were thinking of bringing any of these items, you can bring lighter luggage.

We hope you enjoy your first cruise with P&O! 🌊🚢💫

Remember to bring cash because they don't use card payments much.. 💵💳

Mystery Island: The jewel of Vanuatu:


- It is a small island that can be visited in half a day, but it will leave you speechless at how impressive this paradise island is with white sand beaches and crystal clear water 🌊. - It is a perfect place to relax and disconnect 🧘‍♂️. You can buy souvenirs from the local inhabitants of the island or even coconut water 🥥 to refresh yourself and thus also collaborate with the humble economy of the place. - In our opinion, this was the top of the stops the cruise made. If you want to enjoy this wonderful island for longer, try to get up early and be one of the first to get off the boat 🕒.
