SinbadThePorter Posted September 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I notice that Isle of Pines and Mare are the last two ports on that itinerary. I would guess that the most likely port to go to if those two are not available would be Port Vila. Maybe even an overnight stay. Of course this is pure speculation. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted September 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Plan B will be back of mind. I am confident about Mare, as it is operationally closed till the end of the year. I believe it will be business as usual from 1st January. For Isle of Pines, I am not as confident. Fingers crossed. For the past season, many of the ships so far have doubled-up with extra days in Noumea. There is no ship booked there on 10th January. As mentioned, Port Vila would also be a possibility, as long as the rhino beetles are behaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogbay Posted September 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Two days in Beautiful Noumea ! That's not a over night , two separate days . This is was been happening when cruise ships have New Caledonia as a destination , they do not change countries and say go to Vanuatu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
