Upon arriving in New Caledonia, a beautiful exotic world will be opened up to you. Most cruise liners first stop at Lifou, one of the Loyalty Islands. Here snorkeling and swimming are a must on these sandy soft white beaches. The island boasts of an impressive coral reef that teems with brightly coloured fish and other creatures. Visitors also can enjoy the many walking trails that Lifou offers. Though some are a good hike uphill, the breathtaking views of the island and the water more than compensate for the effort.
The next stop on most cruises is Vila, which is lively port that offers lots of duty free shopping. For travelers that want to see outside the city, they can visit the breathtaking Cascade Waterfalls, as well as see lots of other tropical plants and flowers. Visitors can also take a sea plane ride, and take in amazing views of the islands, as well as have the unique experience of taking off and landing in the water.
The visit to Noumea is another highlight of the tour of New Caledonia. Visitors can take a trip aboard Le Petit train, and get a general overview of what the island offers. Many visit the city center square called “Lace des Cocotiers”, where they can enjoy the gardenlike park, as well as visit the restaurants and quaint shops nearby. The Territorial Museum has stunning exhibits of Melanesian architecture and other historical artefacts.

Mystery Island, Vanuatu is another unforgettable stop on the cruise. This island is uninhabited, so those on the cruise can really have the island and beautiful beaches to themselves. Grass huts are available for those staying overnight if they wish, making it a great honeymoon destination.
So enjoy white sandy beaches, crystal warm blue water and the luxuries of a cruise liner on your next vacation, visit New Caledonia!

Purchasing travel insurance is a true necessity when vacationing. There are many benefits in purchasing travel insurance. A traveler’s money will be returned, if circumstances dictate the need to cancel the trip. Full or partial refunds are available, if the trip has to be cut short due to an emergency. Travel insurance will pay medical bills incurred, if injury or illness occurs while on vacation. Medical travel insurance will cover the cost of medical transportation, so that there are no out of pocket expenses to the traveler. Lost baggage and personal property will be covered by the traveler’s insurance policy.
