When Deb & Matt went on a recent #cruise that included a stop at Port Villa #Vanuatu Matt lets out his inner speed demon and has some fun on a guided high speed water tour of the Port Vila harbour & anchorage.

This is a fun one or two person adventure activity that shows many magnificent sites from a very unique perspective. The 60 minute tour also includes options for swimming and snorkelling where you may even see Dolphins and Turtles.

Whether you fly to Port Vila or Cruise with Royal Caribbean, P&O Australia, Carnival Cruise lines or one of the many others, this is definitely a must do activity – you can even take the kids! (5+ years of age)

Matt was never keen on cruising, but love makes you leap into the unexpected! In a whirlwind of secrecy, with the help of Deb’s family and boss, Matt orchestrated a surprise that Deb would never forget—a Valentine’s Day weekend cruise that promised no clichés, but held the biggest surprise of her life.

👇 What you’ll discover in this video:

The Surprise Setup: How Matt “fake kidnapped” Deb to start their unexpected cruise journey aboard P&O’s Pacific Dawn, turning skepticism into excitement.
The Proposal Scene: Amid the romance of the setting sun on the top deck, with friends secretly in on the plan, Matt popped the question in a scene straight out of a movie.
The Cruise Magic: Explore the romantic ambiance of the cruise that made it the perfect setting for a proposal, from the serene ocean views to the intimate corners that whispered love.
Post-Engagement Celebrations: How we celebrated with friends on board, and the joy that followed as we sailed the seas engaged to be married.
This video is a deep dive into one of our most cherished memories, filled with tips for anyone thinking of proposing on a cruise. From choosing the right moment to coordinating with cruise staff for the perfect surprise, we share it all.
