Two more iconic cruise destinations in Vanuatu — Mystery Island and Luganville — are reopening with P&O Cruises Australia’s Sydney-based Pacific Adventure on its current 10-night cruise to the South Pacific.
Amid a festival atmosphere, Pacific Adventure and its 2000 guests were today welcomed back to Mystery Island by the community of nearby Aneityum for whom cruising is the key economic driver.
A similar welcome is anticipated on Sunday when Pacific Adventure visits Luganville on the island of Espiritu Santo with a call to the Vanuatu capital Port Vila in between. Pacific Adventure visited Noumea in New Caledonia on the way to Vanuatu’s three signature destinations.
Pacific Adventure’s visit to Mystery Island is being celebrated with a number of community initiatives. P&O had already been working with the Aneityum community for some time in preparation for today’s visit.
The initiatives being supported include:
Contributing to the registration and safety training of 80 boat operators
Sourcing 500 lifejackets for the boat operators to comply fully with national safety regulations
Funding the reinstallation of marker buoys for the safe operation of ship tenders.
