Vanuatu Cruise Guide: What They Don’t Tell You Before You Go

Thinking about visiting Vanuatu on a cruise? Before you step ashore, watch this complete guide to what you can expect when your cruise ship arrives in Port Vila. In this video, we take you with us from the moment we leave the Carnival Adventure by tender boat, arrive at the cruise terminal, pass through biosecurity, and begin exploring one of the South Pacific’s most popular cruise destinations. We walk through the local markets, browse the souvenir stalls, check out local prices, and show you exactly what it’s like to visit Port Vila, Vanuatu as a cruise passenger. If you’re planning a South Pacific cruise with Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean, P&O, Celebrity, Norwegian Cruise Line or another cruise line, this guide will help you make the most of your day ashore. One of the biggest surprises of the day was finding duty-free alcohol at incredibly low prices. We visited two different stores and bought four bottles for just AUD $68. We’ll also explain what happens when you buy duty-free alcohol in Vanuatu and why the cruise ship holds onto your purchases until the end of your cruise. Whether you’re wondering how the tender process works, what to expect when arriving in Port Vila, where to shop, what the markets are like, or whether duty-free shopping is worth it, we’ve got you covered. If you’re planning a cruise to Vanuatu, save this video for later and let us know in the comments what you’re most looking forward to seeing or buying.
