Discover Vanuatu (Operated by Carnival)

Brisbane, capital of Queensland, is a large city on the Brisbane River. Clustered in its South Bank cultural precinct are the Queensland Museum and Sciencentre, with noted interactive exhibitions. Another South Bank cultural institution is Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, among Australia’s major contemporary art museums. Looming over the city is Mt. Coot-tha, site of Brisbane Botanic Gardens

Lifou Isle is a land of scenic and sensory contrast. The white sands, crystal waters, renowned dive spots and hiking paths make Lifou Isle a must-visit South Pacific destination. The weather is super sunny all year round so you should totally hit the water and hang with the friendly fishies. Especially because Lifou Isle has the brightest marine life around.

Aneityum is the southernmost island of Vanuatu, in the province of Tafea.

Port Vila or, simply, Vila to those in the know is the bustling capital and vibrant hub of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. Vanuatu’s largest seaport city, located on Efate Island’s southern coast, offers a relaxed and friendly vibe. The sunshine beams on the local faces as radiantly as the year-round Pacific skies — producing the warmest welcome imaginable on a Port Vila cruise with Carnival. It may be oceans away, but the welcome will make you feel right at home. From the moment you arrive you’re greeted with a big ol’ smile.

Luganville is a major export centre and the quayside bustles activity. One of the typical sights you see is locals unloading sacks of copra that are crammed into towering piles in the copra sheds, filling the whole quayside with a distinctive ‘coconut’ aroma. Santo beef, timber and cocoa are the other main exports making this one of busiest ports in Vanuatu. The town is located approximately one kilometre from the ship overlooking the attractive Segond Channel. Luganville has some local bars, restaurants, general stores and the Women’s Market, selling handicrafts from all over Espirito Santo. Walking into town (0.5km) you pass handicraft stalls and remnants of buildings surviving from when the American’s were stationed there in WWII. Santo is becoming a popular destination with tourists because of its beautiful undiscovered beaches (many only a short drive from the ship), island resorts, fascinating traditional villages and WWII American wartime relics such as the President Coolidge.
