Introduction to Port

Port Easo on Lifou Island is unlike any other cruise port: a naturally sheltered crescent harbor that lets ships ease ashore directly into a landscape of turquoise lagoons, white-sand coves, and villages where Drehu culture is a living itinerary rather than a performance. The signature experiences center on immersive shore days, snorkeling among vibrant reef gardens, kayaking along pristine coves, and guided walks through vanilla plantations and coastal forests, paired with intimate encounters with local communities that showcase traditional dances, crafts, and culinary flavors. Destinations reachable from Easo span tranquil lagoons, dramatic cliff views, sacred sites, and authentic village markets that let guests sample island life with minimal transit. The fleet that calls Easo tends to be small- to mid-size vessels and expedition ships designed to navigate shallow harbor entrances, with stabilized decks, eco-friendly technology, and flexible tender operations that maximize time ashore. Onboard services emphasize immersion and comfort: locally inspired dining that highlights Drehu ingredients, spa experiences with island botanicals, enrichment talks on biodiversity and culture, multilingual crew, and a range of shore-excursion packages that balance adventure with relaxation.
