You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Ambrym Island, Vanuatu, from 12:30 pm to 10:30 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Cloud means a quicker disembarkation in Pentecoste Island, Vanuatu - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Arriving in Garove Island, Papua New Guinea at 12:30 pm with only 6 hours hours before your 7:00 pm departure is a tight window.

Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Meeting the local community is the heart of any visit to Garove Island.
