Set your wardrobe to ‘tropical cool’ for a Vanuatu cruise – you won’t ever need to dress up to go ashore. Remember to pack your swimsuit, good walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen. Even in winter the temperature never drops below 22 degrees, so the most you’ll need is a light jumper.
You can enjoy onboard entertainment every night on a Vanuatu cruise, including stage shows, live music, comedy, games and more. Many lines will also host cultural performances from the region, such as dancing and traditional music.
Many cruises to Vanuatu depart from Australia (Sydney and Brisbane) and New Zealand (Auckland). If your cruise is departing from Vanuatu itself, the capital Port Vila is the main airport and is well-connected with regular flights from major Australian capitals.
