It’s no mystery that Mystery Island is steeped in allure. Mystery Island came to be after it was headlined in a royal visit in 1974. Traditionally known as Inyeug (meaning: small island), the picture-perfect scenery of this unspoilt South Pacific paradise awaits on a majestic scale. The Island is uninhabited and the only people who visit are cruise passengers. So it’s all yours. And it’s the perfect size to explore the whole thing.

Espiritu Santo, Santo for short, sets a quiet pace amid pristine surroundings. Renowned for its world-class diving, luxurious island resorts at Million Dollar Point and some of the best beaches in the Vanuatuan archipelago, refresh your adventurous spirt in Santo. Santo came to prominence as an Allied military base in World War II and the locals are renowned for being some of the friendliest people on earth.
