Day 7 of our New Year cruise brings us to Luganville on the island of Espiritu Santo — home to some of Vanuatu’s most beautiful natural attractions. Join us as we document our arrival in Luganville in this latest travel vlog. The ship's docking process is always fascinating to watch, and we're sharing our morning routine, including some quick breakfast ideas. This cruise adventure in Vanuatu is full of unexpected moments, even when we have no pre-booked activities. We arrived with: ❌ No shore tour booked ❌ No fixed plan ❌ No idea what to expect And then we discovered the breathtaking Nanda (Jackies) Blue Hole. Now on of our Top Travel Recommendations. Crystal clear freshwater. Lush jungle surrounds. Almost surreal. Did we accidentally walk into paradise?
