10 Night Vanuatu & New Caledonia Cruise aboard the Carnival Encounter

Share

Embark on the Carnival Encounter and prepare yourself for ten nights of relaxing travel across the sea from Brisbane and back again!

This sailing is notable because you'll exclusively call on exotic cities like Santo, Lifou, and Port-Vila. This route is a special one for the Encounter.

We include all meals, entertainment, taxes, and fees in this, so there are no surprises. At less than $180 a day for a suite, this is an excellent deal.
