Carnival transports you to the heart of Noumea, in its vibrant capital city of New Caledonia. Renowned as the Paris of the Pacific, you can channel French-style savoir-faire. Aside from ordering delicious croissants (in perfect French of course), there’s plenty of other great stuff to keep you busy. All you gotta do is choose which is more your style. Are you more in the mood for a day at the beach? Or would you rather the hustle and bustle of the city? Perhaps a bit of both?

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.

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.
