We have seen some excellent deals on P&O Australia in April and May this year, incorporating a stop in Noumea. Looking into it on the P&O site and Smarttraveller, it is apparent that to visit New Caledonia, you must have travel insurance with covid cover or you may not be allowed to disembark.
“The COVID-19 state of emergency has been lifted, and there are no mandatory COVID-19 related health measures in place to enter New Caledonia. Health authorities continue to recommend cautionary measures, including a COVID-19 (supervised RAT) test 2 days after arrival in New Caledonia and wearing masks on planes, in airports and in places frequented by vulnerable people. Travel insurance is mandatory for New Caledonia and needs to cover all medical and hospitalisation expenses, including repatriation costs and medical evacuation. You may need to present your travel insurance certificate when departing for and arriving in New Caledonia.
Any thoughts?
