Welcome to Port Vila, the capital city of Vanuatu and a popular destination for cruise ship visitors. Located on the island of Efate, Port Vila offers a mix of stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and a vibrant local community.

As you step off the ship, you will be greeted by the warm tropical weather and the sights of the beautiful Mele Bay. Take a stroll around the town and explore the local markets where you can find a variety of handicrafts, souvenirs, local products, and the popular duty free outlets.

Port Vila offers a wide range of activities for visitors, from swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters to exploring the lush jungle and the many waterfalls around the island.

If you're interested in history and culture, visit the Vanuatu Cultural Centre, where you can learn about the history of Vanuatu and the traditional customs and practices of the island's many different ethnic groups.

Though the official currency is Vatu, most stores will accept Australian or New Zealand cash, but will not give change. So if planning on using AUD or NZD, make sure you have lots of smaller notes.
