Sally decided she needed a holiday after cyclone Yasi hit her home town.
On this tour of Port Vila she not only appreciates the beauty of this tropical island, but also gains an appreciation for how the local village survives and adapts to mother nature.
“I can now go home and tell my kids and my grandkids, this is what Nanna did… This is what you can do when you get older… Life isn’t just about where you live individually now.”
If you’re after a day of culture, some great scenery and a bit of local shopping too, check out the details of this tour and start planning your time in Vanuatu.
Watch this video of Nathan and Maria in Vanuatu, in which Maria confesses:
“We were having a look at the shore tours and I’m a scaredy-cat. I’m scared of everything. But we were looking at the intro to scuba diving and I said, this looks fantastic and Nathan agreed.”
This experience is one you have to really appreciate. As Nathan commented:
“It’s changed our lives really, to be honest!”
And he’s not exaggerating -- the couple came back from this cruise, put their home on the market and are now moving to Vanuatu!
Keen to push yourself out of your comfort zone and explore the paradise that changed this couple’s life?
If you’re worried going on a cruise means letting yourself get out of shape, think again. Exercise and a healthy diet are both easy to maintain (and sometimes even a lot more enjoyable!) onboard our ships.
1. Go for a jog around the running track on deck with an inspiring view of the ocean as you train.
2. Dine at La Luna onboard Pacific Jewel and Pacific Pearl, a casual spot with delicious healthy dishes during the day and an Asian Fusion menu in the evening.
3. Get into those weights at the gym and enjoy a sauna or a swim to cool off afterwards.
4. Join Bootcamp at Sea to really challenge yourself or work off whatever you’ve indulged in the night before. Benefit from the support of fellow bootcampers!
5. Find working out boring? Why not jazz your exercise regime up with a dance lesson instead? Salsa is sure to work up a sweat.
Pacific Pearl recently had the honour of hosting former professional swimmer and Olympic gold medalist Kieren Perkins and his wife Sam, and children, Charlie (6), Harry (13) and Georgia (14). They packed a lot in to each day!
