Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 3 countries over 9 nights, beginning and ending in Brisbane, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 5 port days and 4 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise
The 9 Night Vanuatu & New Caledonia is a 9-night round-trip itinerary aboard Carnival Luminosa. You board and return in Brisbane, calling at 5 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Australia (Brisbane), New Caledonia (Noumea, Lifou), Vanuatu (Mystery Island, Vila) and Australia (Brisbane).
Because it's round-trip from Brisbane, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 4 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
