4nts Sydney Stay & 9nts Pacific Cruise

Imagine waking up in Sydney, where the glittering harbour meets the soaring sails of the Opera House, before setting off on a cruise through the South Pacific’s most beautiful islands. This 13-night adventure combines the best of Australia’s vibrant city life and the tranquil charm of island escapes — a perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.

Your journey begins with a 4-night stay in Sydney, giving you time to explore one of the world’s most stunning coastal cities. Walk across the famous Harbour Bridge, take a ferry to Manly or Taronga Zoo, and stroll along the sands of Bondi Beach. You can visit Darling Harbour for waterfront dining, shop in The Rocks, or take in the sweeping views from Sydney Tower. Every corner of the city offers something to remember, from laid-back cafés to lively street performers by the quay.

After soaking up Sydney’s sunshine and energy, you’ll board the Carnival Splendor for a 9-night cruise across the South Pacific. As you sail out of Sydney Harbour, the city skyline fades behind you, replaced by endless blue ocean. On board, you’ll find a world of comfort and entertainment — pools, live shows, delicious dining, and plenty of deck space to unwind under the sun.

Your first port of call is Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia. It’s a slice of France in the Pacific, where palm-lined beaches meet French bakeries and open-air markets. You can snorkel in clear lagoons, explore local shops, or enjoy a quiet walk along the waterfront.

Next, you’ll arrive at Mystery Island, a true hidden gem surrounded by turquoise waters and soft white sand. It’s small, peaceful, and perfect for swimming or snorkelling straight from the beach. With no cars or crowds, it feels like your own private paradise.
