What to expect

The highlights of this cruise

The year couldn’t end on a better note. Let the EUROPA 2 whisk you off to idyllic islands in the South Pacific. Exotic nature, bubbling geysers, coral reefs and white sandy beaches await you on a unique cruise from Auckland to Fiji.

The EUROPA 2 welcomes you in Auckland, from where your extraordinary cruise will first take you to Mount Maunganui (Tauranga). Get to know the Maori culture* here and discover the thermal springs* of Rotorua. Kaiteriteri and Nelson are known for their breathtaking nature, which you can best enjoy in Abel Tasman National Park*. After a stay in Picton, one of the most charming areas of New Zealand, and a wine tasting in the famous wine-growing region of Marlborough*, wonderfully relaxing festive days await you. On Christmas Eve, spend a restful day in the Bay of Islands, a stunning landscape of bays and turquoise-blue water. On board, everything is already prepared for a peaceful Christmas Eve. Let yourself be pampered and experience an unforgettable festive celebration at sea. The island state of Vanuatu exudes exotic flair with Inyeug (Mystery Island), Champagne Beach and the capital Port Vila on Efate. Usher in the New Year on the Fiji Islands. Explore the capital Suva on Viti Levu, the volcanic Kabara Island and the lush “garden island” Taveuni (Somosomo). Dravuni is the perfect place to unwind. At the end of the cruise, you will return to Viti Levu. Discover the Nausori Highlands in an all-terrain vehicle* from Port Denarau. The EUROPA 2 will then bid you farewell in Lautoka.

* The pre- and post-cruise programmes and shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.

  • Go ahead and feel like a stranded pirate. The uninhabited Mystery Island awaits you with its white dream beaches. A leisurely 30-minute walk will take you across the entire island. The corals in the water are still colourful and alive here – and there are plenty of fish. Whether you prefer to swim or snorkel, you will pass clownfish, parrotfish, barracudas and, if you are lucky, perhaps even a sea turtle. After cooling off in the sea, the sandy white beach is perfect for some sunbathing. 
  • Located near the larger island of Malekula, Vao is known for its tropical landscapes, pristine beaches and rich culture of the local people. The lush vegetation, ranging from tropical forests to colorful coral reefs, attracts both adventurers and those seeking tranquility. The culture of Vao Island is equally fascinating. The locals are known for their hospitality and traditional customs. The island is a place where traditions are kept alive and where the community is strong. Experience Vanuatu up close today and look forward to this fascinating culture.
  • Champagne Beach is located on Vanuatu’s largest island, Espiritu Santo, and is the epitome of a dream beach in the South Pacific. The name comes from the hissing sounds made by the water at low tide as it washes over the volcanic rocks on the seabed. Spend some relaxing hours on this sandy dream beach today and unwind. The natural beach is ideal for swimming and snorkelling, with many colourful fish darting around the nearby coral reef. Large palm trees provide shade and invite you to linger – a South Seas dream come true.
