10 Night Vanuatu & New Caledonia Cruise aboard the Carnival Encounter
Reserve your cabin on the Carnival Encounter and prepare yourself for ten nights of leisurely sailing across the sea from Brisbane and back!
This sailing is noteworthy because you will only stop at rare ports like Santo, Lifou, and Port-Vila. This route is an uncommon one for the Encounter. In fact, it sails it only once.
This is the total price, including all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes. Offered at under $90 per day, this bargain is really good.
