Welcome to Aussie Cruising's Pacific Islands.
Vanuatu
When you´re lying on a beach in Vanuatu, your troubles are far behind and magical islands await you. Try Mystery Island, where you´ll find no resorts and no roads, just sandy pathways leading to beaches and clear lagoons where you can swim and snorkel. Or Champagne Bay, the perfect spot for a game of beach volleyball. Just don´t forget your sunnies; the sand here is surely the whitest in Vanuatu.
New Caledonia
New Caledonia features the world´s biggest lagoon and second-longest reef. For a little extra, you can admire both of these on a P&O Cruises Shore Tour to Amedee Island, where you can catch a glimpse of large sea turtles and take a swim with the fish. In Noumea, the Aquarium showcases the amazing nautilus or ´living fossil from the deep´ as well as fluorescent corals, seahorses and Napoleon fish(well, this is part of France, after all). The jewel in the island group´s crown? A stop at Isle of Pines, with whitesand beaches perfect for a sunny snooze. And don´t forget to go snorkelling: you´re sure to find Nemo in no time.
Loyalty Islands
The largest of the Loyalty Islands, Lifou has an abundance of natural wonders, all the way to the compressed coral Cliffs of Jokin. You might opt for the reasonably priced Shore Tour that takes you on a scenic 35-minute drive across the island to Luecila Beach. It´s a wonderful stereotype of the classic castaway island, where white sand is shaded by coconut trees and lapped by a blue lagoon.
Fiji
Sunny people, alluring landscapes, a bula! welcome, palm-fringed coastlines and tumbling waterfalls: for many of us, Fiji is all about its sun-kissed islands. Savala Island is the place for kayaking above or snorkelling below the blue waters. From this gorgeous South Sea Island, for a little extra, you can take a P&O Cruises Shore Tour on a semisubmersible to see a world of tropical fish. Of course, no worries if you just want some beach time…
