8 Night Vanuatu & New Caledonia Cruise aboard the Carnival Encounter
Prepare yourself for eight nights of breathtaking cruising through the sea when you book your cabin on the Carnival Encounter from Brisbane and back.
This trip is particularly exciting because you will exclusively experience rare ports like Port-Vila, Mystery Island, and Noumea. This route is an unusual one for the Encounter.
This is the total price, including meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes. With a cost of under $115 a day, this is a very good bargain.
