Pacific Islands
South pacific, cruises to the south pacific.
If you're after a quick retreat to paradise, a P&O Islands cruise is right for you. Nothing says ‘tropical holiday’ like island hopping from one idyllic destination to the next, and when it comes to the Pacific Islands, we do it best!
There’s the Frenchy-chic vibe of Noumea, the ancient culture of Lifou and the Caribbean atmosphere in Vila. Oh, and the beaches...we’d never forget the beaches!
P&O Cruises has been cruising to the South Pacific for over 86 years - and we know it so well, we’re practically locals.
Why you’ll love a P&O cruise in the South Pacific
There’s an amazing choice in P&O departures to the Pacific Islands from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland - and a cruise to match every taste and budget. From Brisbane take the Pacific Island Hopper cruise and visit 3 tropical paradises in just 7 days and an added bonus is that these cruises leave on a Saturday so you’re only using 5 days annual leave! From Sydney or Melbourne you can Discover Vanuatu with calls to 4 amazing and different islands. Or if you want to dig a little deeper, take one of our P&O Voyages of 13+ nights and call at up to 6 idyllic islands with some scenic cruising as well.
For something totally different choose one of our Papua New Guinea cruises. Ranging from 8 to 11 nights and departing from Brisbane and Sydney, you’ll visit one of the final frontiers of the South Pacific. There are sunken warships, beautiful cultural celebrations and abundant marine life to see close up. There’s an amazing range of shore tours to choose from at most destinations.
