Pacific Islands 2023: 7-Night P&O Pacific Encounter Cruise to New Caledonia & Vanuatu with Balcony Upgrade, All-Inclusive Dining & Pre-Cruise Brisbane Stay

Discover the alluring beauty of the Pacific Islands on a seven-night cruise aboard P&O’s Pacific Encounter, departing and returning to Brisbane (departs 5 May 2023). Spend two pre-cruise nights at Ovolo The Valley Brisbane (or similar), allowing ample time to explore Queensland’s capital. You’ll then board Pacific Encounter for an island-hopping adventure through New Caledonia and Vanuatu, where you’ll be able to take in the magnificent Pacific views from the comfort of your very own balcony.

Your first port of call is Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia. French charm is in abundance here and blends beautifully with a paradisical backdrop of white-sand beaches and unbelievably blue ocean. Your New Caledonia exploration continues on the island of Lifou, where long stretches of white-sand beach, small coves, limestone caves, grottos and imposing cliffs give the island one of the most dramatic landscapes in the Pacific. Vanuatu’s capital of Port Vila is your final stop and offers a chance to explore bustling tropical markets and refreshing, rushing waterfalls.
