Fourteen nights on the Pacific Adventure visiting three proper South Pacific islands for under £1,500pp. If you're after a cruise that doesn't feel like a floating shopping mall, this one's worth a closer look.
The deal
P&O's Pacific Adventure, 14 nights departing Sydney. Ports include Noumea (New Caledonia), Vanuatu, and Lifou. All-inclusive cruise fare from £1,499 per person.
Why we like it
The itinerary skips the usual Great Barrier Reef rinse and actually takes you somewhere different. Noumea's got decent French colonial architecture and decent food; Vanuatu and Lifou are the real drawcard — proper off-the-beaten-track island stops you won't find on every cruise.
The price is solid for a fortnight's accommodation, meals, and transport bundled together. You're not paying separately for board like you would a hotel + flight combo.
Catch: you'll want to check what's actually included in that fare — drinks packages, excursions, and specialist dining typically cost extra. Also confirm your departure date, as these prices can shift depending on when you sail.
How to book
Book directly with P&O or through a travel agent. Check current availability and whether your preferred sailing date is still at this price — these tend to move quickly once word gets out.
