Discover Vanuatu

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.

Miss Scarlet in the library with the candlestick. Wait, that’s a different kind of mystery. This tiny, uninhabited island maintains a shroud of intrigue due to its remote and largely inaccessible location. There are no tourism developments, no roads and no shops. Yet it commands a special place in the hearts of all who visit. Relax on the pristine sand, snorkel the stunning surrounding reefs or take a leisurely stroll around the entire island in under an hour.

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.

Jump on the coconut bandwagon because Santo is full of them (a major local export). Santo’s quay bustles with action, including traditional villages, local handicraft stalls, water music and dance ceremonies. Or explore remnants of buildings and shipwrecks from when American troops were stationed there in WWII. Its natural beauty includes the incredible blue holes, crystal clear rivers perfect for canoeing and a vast array of romantic beaches and freshwater lagoons the stuff postcards are made of.
