Cruising New Caledonia & Vanuatu

 

Cruising New Caledonia & Vanuatu was our activity in the spring of this year. When we were away very far from Europe but still very close, on a piece of France in the Pacific called “Great Earth”, or better known as New Caledonia.

For the second time in our history we took a cruise trip, this time to explore a few islands of New Caledonia and Vanuatu. At first I thought just for cruising “Grey Nomads” was, but that is my opinion changed quickly. I can now see the many advantages of cruising such as the price which is much more than with other species included holidays, everything on board and so no lugging suitcases and sweaty from one place to another by bust. Every day arrive at a new destination with white sandy beaches and of course the great staff that you put every day in cotton wool.

Cruising is pure enjoyment, from the moment you board until the time you must leave the cruise ship again. You have everything on board from theater to hairdresser and as a bonus a few nice restaurants to dine in the evening in your best prom outfit, if you have at least. I had to do it with my neat LBD (Little Black Dress) because as a world I could not afford a packed suitcases. But hey like Coco Chanel said:

“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance”

So I went for simplicity and minimalism, while the rest of the ladies every day with beautiful dresses in restaurant appeared :), to not talk about the theme nights where everything went over the top with feathers, glitters, gloves and hats.

Our cruise ship did 5 destinations: Nouméa, Tide, Lifou, Port Vila and Mystery Island. At the first island I could nawelijks imagine it used to be a strafkolonië. Honestly it was not a punishment to wander around there. Then I thought to myself: “Here I want to be captured best and too happy to serve my sentence under the palm trees, with my feet in the warm sand while sipping on a coconut!! :)”

This shows a bit of an idea of ​​how our trip through New Caledonia & has been Vanuatu. All ingredients for a fantastic break were present: zone, zee, beach and great people.
