Deb & Matt Chat on YT: No Plans in Luganville… Then We Found This 💙 Santo Blue Hole

by | Feb 26, 2026 | | 0 |

Day 7 of our New Year cruise brings us to Luganville on the island of Espiritu Santo — home to some of Vanuatu’s most beautiful natural attractions.

Join us as we document our arrival in Luganville in this latest travel vlog. The ship’s docking process is always fascinating to watch, and we’re sharing our morning routine, including some quick breakfast ideas. This cruise adventure in Vanuatu is full of unexpected moments, even when we have no pre-booked activities.

We arrived with:
❌ No shore tour booked
❌ No fixed plan
❌ No idea what to expect

And then we discovered the breathtaking Nanda (Jackies) Blue Hole. Now on of our Top Travel Recommendations.

Crystal clear freshwater. Lush jungle surrounds. Almost surreal.

Did we accidentally walk into paradise?

After exploring Luganville town and doing a short walking tour, we head back onboard Voyager of the Seas for:

🍝 Giovanni’s Italian dinner
🎉 80s Night
⚓ Anchors Aweigh
🎶 Cruise theme party

If you’re cruising to Santo or Luganville with Royal Caribbean, this is a must-watch port day guide.

Dear Michael Bayley…

We have THREE humble wishes:

We’re currently sailing on Anthem of the Seas and had the opportunity to ask a question during the Captain’s Corner… and the answer has us thinking 🤔

After mentioning he had recently visited Lelepa, the Captain spoke about “confidential discussions” regarding year-round cruising in Australia — and even hinted at the possibility of bigger ships.

Could Royal Caribbean be planning something major for Australia?

In this short update, we share exactly what was said, what it could mean for Aussie cruisers, and why this might be big news for Brisbane and Sydney.
