Fiji, New Caledonia & Vanuatu South Pacific Gay Group Cruise 2024
14 nights cruise from/to Sydney, Australia
January 02 – 16, 2025
Celebrity's Edge
The South Pacific islands are home to some of the world’s oldest civilizations, and still preserve some of the oldest maritime traditions anywhere on planet earth. These islands are spectacularly preserved, visually stunning, and provide year-round tropical beach access and a warm climate. From hand-built stilt homes in the shallow sea, to jungle treks where abundant fruits and exotic wildlife surround you, finding inner serenity and happiness here is simple. See Fiji, New Caledonia, and the best of Vanuatu all while indulging in the amazing luxury offerings that only a Celebrity South Pacific gay group cruise can offer.
Tropical archipelago Vanuatu is known for its smoldering volcanoes, palm-fringed beaches, and world-class dive sites. You'll find a culture known for its diverse influences, ceremonial dances, and music. In the deep waters around the islands, you’ll discover abundant marine life, and wrecks of WWII airplanes and other vessels to explore.
New Caledonia is blessed with exquisitely soft white sand thanks to the coral reefs that surround the islands. The beaches that fringe tiny Amedee Island and Duck Island, off Grand Terre, are some of the loveliest, while the long sweep of Anse Vata is just in front of Noumea. Join the locals here in a game of petanque (French bocce), or watch the kite surfers flit past. On the Isle of Pines, head for Moro Island for its powdery beach and the chance to spot stingrays and turtles in the lagoon.
Cruise to Fiji are one of the best ways to see and experience the raw natural beauty and serenity of the South Pacific. Discover beaches that feel like paradise, with crystal-clear water lapping at soft white sand, and palms rustling in the warm breeze. You can snorkel over coral reefs, sunbathe, visit eco-parks with rare protected species, and trek through tropical jungles on this fantastic Fiji cruise itinerary.
Some of the world's finest beaches are located in and around Fiji, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to relax on the sand and swim in the clear blue waters during your cruise. Visit the uninhabited Monuriki Island, or stop at Natadola Beach, considered by many to be Fiji's best beach for its pure white sand. You can also snorkel and scuba dive in the waters around the Mamanuca Islands, home to dazzling marine life.
Fiji’s coral reefs are famous for their beauty and diversity. The reefs are home to 42 percent of the earth’s coral species. Drifting over these vibrant reefs while snorkeling, scuba diving, or even on a glass-bottom boat is something you’ll never forget, so bright are the colors. Fiji’s coral reefs are also an important part of the local economy, as they support the fishing industry, as well as tourism, and are protected to ensure they are sustainable.

Day 1 - Sydney, Australia
Considered one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Southern Hemisphere, gay friendly Sydney offers so much—from beaches and wineries to stunning landmarks and world-class shopping. Tour architectural marvels like the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge, view life below the surface from Sydney Aquarium’s underwater walkways, or take it all in from above on a tour of the Sydney Tower. You’re never far from nature in this thriving urban center. Well-known surf beaches, zoos, national parks, whale watching tours, bush tours, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Day 2, 3 & 5 - A Day at Sea!
While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until we arrive at the next amazing destination.
Day 4 - Noumea, New Caledonia
Journey to a casual and cosmopolitan French colonial city of turquoise water and white-sand beaches. Nouméa offers world-class beaches, incredible snorkeling and diving opportunities, and a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for shopping, sitting at a seaside café, or strolling. Called the French Riviera of the Pacific, Nouméa boasts lovely French seaside restaurants, boutiques selling the finest Parisian designs, and streets lined with French colonial architecture. Visit Nouméa’s aquarium, where you can view endangered sea turtles, or plunge into Nouméa’s wildlife-rich water and see a beautiful coral reef.
Day 6 - Suva, Fiji
On your cruise to Suva, capital of Fiji, you'll discover a mix of 21st-century architecture, Art Deco gems, and 19th-century British colonial buildings. Although Suva is built on a peninsula, surrounded by ocean, this part of Viti Levu, one of more than 330 Fijian islands, is more mangrove than beach. Suva offers several pleasant parks and gardens near the port. Ratu Sukuna Park offers pretty views of the harbor. Next door is Suva Civic Center, an arts and cultural venue.
Day 7 - Lautoka, Fiji
During a cruise to Fiji, receive a warm welcome and see a traditional meke (dance) in the peaceful village of Lauwaki, on Viti Levu. Although the Fijian archipelago has more than 330 islands, most of the 920,000 locals live on just two, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Despite Fiji's exotic image—white beaches, turquoise waters, friendly smiles—the island paradise enjoys one of the most developed economies in the South Pacific. Fiji's Garden of the Sleeping Giant may be one of the best kept secrets in horticulture. Its magnificent collection of Asian orchids and Cattleya hybrids—more than 2,000 varieties—evolved from the private collection of American actor Raymond Burr. Now open to the public, it makes for a wonderful day of admiring the delicate flowers and wandering the canopy-covered boardwalks, landscaped lawns, and lily ponds.
Days 8, 12, 13 & 14 - A Day at Sea!
While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until we arrive at the next amazing destination.
Day 9 - Mystery Island, Vanuatu
Located on the southernmost point of the Vanuatu archipelago, this little jewel of the South Pacific is completely uninhabited. Formerly used as an allied force landing strip during WWII, today only palm trees and sweet seclusion grow from the white sand of Mystery Island. The locals live across the waters on Tanna and visit the island during the day to spread their warmth, culture and wares. It's the perfect spot for couples, beach lovers, or anyone looking to lounge in an ocean of beauty and literally get away from it all.
Day 10 - Vila, Vanuatu
Vanuatu is a lush, verdant, tropical land that has risen out of the sea on coral beds formed by volcanoes. The mix of rugged coral coastlines, sandy beaches, beautiful waterfalls, thick jungles, and blue lagoons makes it one of the most charming ports worldwide. Port Vila offers dozens of places to visit, island feasts to sample local flavors, museums, and quaint little back streets to explore. It offers an array of tours and adventure, waterfront restaurants, and lively markets. The islands and people of Vanuatu also have an appeal that you simply won’t find elsewhere.
Day 11 - Lifou, Loyalty Island
Known for its friendly residents and beautiful landscape, Lifou is located off the French island of New Caledonia. The first visitors to this island paradise were European whalers and today's guests can enjoy the same relaxed, timeless beauty. Picturesque cliff-top views, secluded beaches, fascinating caves, and rich traditional culture create a backdrop for a perfect stop.
Day 15 - Sydney, Australia Sydney offers so much—from beaches and wineries to stunning landmarks and world-class shopping. You’re never far from nature in this thriving urban center. Well-known surf beaches, zoos, national parks, whale watching tours, bush tours, and the Royal Botanic Gardens—featuring over 7,500 plants—offer visitors a chance to enjoy the area’s sunshine, lush greenery, wildlife, and clear blue oceans. Sydney is not only Australia’s oldest city, it is also one of the most ethnically diverse cities on the globe, offering a wealth of cuisines, unique museums, and cultural opportunities. Explore lively pubs, shops, and historic buildings at The Rocks, located on Sydney harbor.
