Frequently Asked Questions
At the entrance to Havannah Harbour, on the north-west coast of Efate, Vanuatu's main island. It is a small island still living today at the pace of its villages and outrigger canoes.
Not yet. Royal Caribbean has chosen this shore for its first private destination in the South Pacific, the Royal Beach Club Lelepa, and announces first visitors from October 2027, with ships sailing from Sydney and Brisbane. Until opening, dates and arrangements may change.
According to the concept announced by the line, it will differ from the Caribbean private islands: passengers will land first on Efate, travel about twenty minutes by road to Havannah Harbour, then boats will make the short crossing to the developed beaches. Your travel advisor's information will be definitive at time of booking.
Because it forms part of the Chief Roi Mata's Domain, the first site in Vanuatu inscribed by UNESCO. Three places make up this ensemble devoted to the last great chief who unified the region in the seventeenth century: his residence at Mangaas on Efate, Fels Cave and the islet of Artok.
The place where tradition sets the death of Chief Roi Mata. Its walls carry ancient drawings, dots, lines, fish and animals, evidence of centuries of human presence. Following earthquake damage, access to the interior is restricted and the site is viewed from the shore.
The burial place of Chief Roi Mata and dozens of members of his retinue, in a collective grave. With Mangaas and Fels Cave it completes the UNESCO-listed domain. Local guides tell its history with a richness that more than compensates for the restricted cave access.
Yes, from Port Vila, where many South Pacific cruises call. Excursions reach the island and Chief Roi Mata's Domain by boat, led by guides from the local communities.
The vatu, Vanuatu's currency, and Bislama, with English and French widely understood. Bring cash in small denominations: the villages have no card terminals.
Beaches developed by the cruise line and easier access to a World Heritage site. What truly sets the place apart, however, owes nothing to development: it is the story of Chief Roi Mata and the life of the villages, passed on by local guides for generations.
May to October, Vanuatu's dry season, cooler, drier and outside the cyclone period. From November to April, humid heat and tropical depressions disrupt programmes more often.
