4	Mon 23 Dec 2019	Noumea, New Caledonia	8:00 AM	5:00 PM
Situated in the south of the country's main island Grande Terre, Noumea is the capital of the French Territory of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean. It enjoys a sunny, moderate climate, and truly is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, where the South Pacific meets the Riviera. The city maintains much of New Caledonia's unique mix of French and old Melanesian culture, while the U.S. wartime military influence lingers. This is evidenced both in the warmth that many New Caledonian people feel towards the U.S., as well as some of the very 'American' names of several of the quarters of the city. more info
5	Tue 24 Dec 2019	Mystery Island, Vanuatu	8:00 AM	5:00 PM
Mystery Island (Nyeug) is located just 600m off the SW corner of Aneityum, the southernmost inhabited island in the Vanuatu archipelago of the South Pacific. Small at 900m by 200m, it is surrounded on three sides by a fringing reef 3 km by 2 km that encompasses an abundance of sea life. The islet is uninhabited apart from tourists. In 2020 at least 11 ships from 6 cruise lines will make 75 visits to Mystery Island, which reflects the growing attraction to this piece of paradise. Cruise ships tender at the newly-built pier, and are greeted by friendly locals who sail the 1.5 km from Aneityum Island. more info
6	Wed 25 Dec 2019	Lifou, New Caledonia	8:00 AM	5:00 PM
Lifou (pop. 10,000) is the largest of the Loyalty Islands, a north-eastern Province of New Caledonia, an overseas territory of France, in the South Pacific Ocean. It lies 100 km to the east of New Caledonia mainland. Cruise ship guests are tendered to the pier at Easo. Kanak culture is most present in Lifou, which has managed to preserve its traditional authenticity. The welcoming people receive visitors as favoured guests. The island's natural wealth, consisting of long, deserted beaches and crystal-clear lagoons, make snorkelling and scuba diving very popular. With multi-coloured sea life and coral fauna not found elsewhere in the world, this is not surprising. Tourism and exports of copra, rubber, vanilla and sugarcane are the main industries. more info
7	Thu 26 Dec 2019	Mare Island, New Caledonia	8:00 AM	5:00 PM
Mare Island is the southernmost and second largest of the Loyalty Islands in the French overseas territory of New Caledonia, in the South Pacific. Visitors are welcomed with a decorated jetty and local women who sing traditional songs. Later on, there are songs and dances performed by local men and women. Motorised scooters and mountain bikes can be hired, but be aware that driving is done on the right hand side of the road. Interestingly, honking of horns is a welcoming gesture, and many drivers wave and call out a friendly "Hello" and "How are you?" They are always willing to lend a hand. more info

Get away on the Voyager of the Seas enjoying 9 relaxing nights aboard the South Pacific Holiday Cruise to South Pacific. The voyage starts out from Sydney and visits 5 ports in 3 countries before returning to Sydney. Your 3.5 star cruise from Royal Caribbean Cruises has 1 more forward departures. We have a limited number of cabins available from $0 per person/day, twin share. So call now and get expert, friendly advice.

Voyager of the Seas Overview

Voyager of the Seas arrived in Sydney Harbour with fanfare in November for a six month season, following a AU$143m refurbishment: blue hull, dual racer waterslides, ‘new’ Vitality Spa and kids’ spaces, and a laser tag game. So, take a short 2 or 3 night ‘office break’ cruise (or find out if cruising is for you). South Pacific sojourns range from 9 to 14 nights. In mid-February 2020 there’s a 6-night cruise to Melbourne and Hobart. Voyager of the Seas will return to Sydney from late October 2020 to March 2021, offering a range of cruises out of Sydney to Queensland and the South Pacific. Consider the upcoming two week Sydney to Singapore trip in April 2020, then until June select a 3- or 4-night cruise along the Malay Peninsula. From July through September 2020 come aboard in Hong Kong to visit Japan and maybe Taiwan or Vietnam, over four to nine nights. Voyager of the Seas caters for adults, and especially families, with its many activities. And the Royal Caribbean International mobile app allows guests to check in and manage their on-board booking activities, shows, dining and shore excursions.

Accommodation

Staterooms come in four main categories and 22 grades, with variations based on guests’ needs: Suites/Deluxe Staterooms, Balcony Staterooms, Outside Staterooms and Interior Staterooms. Interiors are now fitted with 80 inch “virtual balcony” displays. When selecting accommodation consider the view, the level of privacy, and location near to or far from activity areas. All staterooms come with private bathroom, vanity area, hair dryer, interactive TV and phone. Many cabins are family-friendly with up to four additional bunk beds, and interconnecting rooms. Promenade staterooms overlook the interior Royal Promenade, and some accommodate up to six people. There are no single cabins, and many are wheelchair-accessible. In-cabin service and dining is available 24-hours.

Food and Dining

For the Main Dining Room, spread over three levels, select from three dining choices before cruising: fixed seating at the same table nightly, at either early or late sitting; open-seated My Time Dining (with pre-paid gratuities) at a flexible time; and early sitting My Family Time Dining that allows children aged 3 to 11 years to leave for their Adventure Ocean kids club. Menus feature healthy, vegetarian and kosher options. Special dietary needs can be catered for by giving advanced notice. Menus change daily throughout the cruise. Evening dress is casual or smart casual. Expect one to three formal evenings in the Main Dining Room during your cruise. There are seven complimentary eating options, including Windjammers Café, Jade Sushi and Izumi Japanese cuisine, Giovanni’s Italian, Café Promenade for coffee, pastries/snacks, and room service.

Entertainment

Signature features to entertain you include: Broadway-style productions in the Main Theatre; Studio B’s ice shows, comedy, game shows, onboard parties, and cooking demonstrations (and when the rink is not being used, skate for free); and gaming in Casino Royale. Previous upgrades added a 3D movie theatre. Live music features around the pool, in the main dining room, and in many lounges, bars and specialty venues. There are always parties and parades to join. Alternatively, just stroll around the Royal Promenade and shop duty-free, or for a quiet time retire to the Library/Card Room or Internet Café.
