10 Night Cruise sailing from Sydney roundtrip aboard Pacific Jewel.

Cruising is the ideal speed for travelling. At sea you'll live life at a different pace, no traffic, and no rigid routines. If you want to do nothing but snooze, swim, read and sunbathe, that's fine. However, if you'd like to go shopping, take some exercise or a dance class, luxuriate in the spa, learn shuffleboard or a new hobby, they're all there for the taking. However long you're aboard, every day and every night there's always something you'll love to do.

Enjoy a sensational mix of intriguing destinations and relaxing days at sea on this fabulous 10-night itinerary. First port of call is Noumea, famous for its combination of French chic and South Pacific charm. From here, it's off to Lifou. Next, you'll enjoy some bargain shopping in Vila before arriving at picturesque Mystery Island. Finally, you'll visit the stunning Isle of Pines.

Highlights of this cruise:

Sydney
Sydney is one of the most invigorating and positive cities you could ever hope to visit. A modern metropolis on a spectacular harbour, Sydney is blessed with great weather, great dining, great nightlife, great shopping and a great attitude.

Vila
The substantial dock and port area of Port Vila overlooks a natural harbour. There are beautiful coastal views of the city with its clusters of houses and small scale resorts nestled amongst tropical vegetation makes an attractive scene. The harbour is quite active with fishing boats, yachts and speedboats passing between the various nearby islands.

Isle of Pines
The waters off the Isle of Pines must really 'wash whitest' because the sands of the Isle's Kato Bay will impress any visitor with its white, white, talcum-like beach.

The Isle of Pines is part of New Caledonia and is situated 50km south east of the mainland. The tall narrow pine trees are a feature of this 17km long island.

The most difficult aspect of your visit to the Isle of Pines will be saying goodbye to its sunny skies, friendly faces, warm waters and of course those beautiful beaches.
