Bringing big-time energy to the Sunshine State, holidaymakers can choose from 13 holidays across Australia's East Coast including 3- to 7-night getaways visiting Airlie Beach and Cairns, putting Queensland's own tropical gems right at their fingertips. Beyond Queensland, South Pacific escapes ranging from 7- to 8-nights will take holidaymakers to destinations including Nouméa, New Caledonia, and Port Vila and Mystery Island, Vanuatu, featuring everything from picturesque beaches with crystal clear waters to lively local markets.
Quantum brings next-level thrills, standout dining and entertainment for every kind of holidaymaker.
