🚢 SEA & SELF SANCTUARY
A 7-Day Pacific Island Escape for Women Ready to Exhale, Reconnect, and Come Home to Themselves
You’ve spent years holding everything together.
The kids.
The work.
The schedules.
The friendships.
The relationships.
The quiet emotional labour nobody sees.
The unspoken pressure to always “be okay.”
But here’s the truth nobody ever told you:
You don’t need a breakdown to deserve rest.
You don’t need permission to take a week for yourself.
You don’t have to wait until you’re exhausted to choose joy.
If you’re tired of being the strong one…
If you’ve forgotten what it feels like to laugh for no reason…
If the world has been loud for too long…
If you ache to feel yourself again…
THE OCEAN IS CALLING YOU!
🌴 This is not a tour.
No tight itineraries, no rushing between activities, no performance, no constant stimulation.
This is a sanctuary at sea.
A space to:
* wake up slowly
* sip coffee under the sun
* wander decks barefoot
* journal without someone asking “Mum, where’s my…?”
* nap in the afternoon because you CAN
* read without interruption
* feel joy without apology
* meet women who understand the exhaustion you never say out loud
This is where sunscreen laughter, deck chats, cocktails without guilt, and quiet reflections blend into something you’ll never be able to replicate on land.
🌺 We will visit:
Nouméa, Lifou Island, and Port Vila - each offering their own flavour of turquoise… palm… warmth… softness… and barefoot freedom.
You don’t need to “make the most” of it.
Sometimes the best thing you’ll do is lay on the sand and let the waves do the healing.
🌙 The Sanctuary Experience
We’ll gather every now and then for gentle, soul-level conversations, micro-masterclasses designed to spark self-awareness without pressure or performance.
We’ll sit in Sanctuary Circles - no spotlight, no competition - just women sharing space, breathing, remembering who they are beneath responsibility and expectation.
You’ll be paired for reflection prompts - not because you need “breakthroughs,” but because connection is medicine, and strangers become sisters faster than you think.
We’ll meet online once before we sail and once after we return - so your nervous system never feels alone in the transition.
You will not be lost.
You will not be judged.
You will not be “too much.”
You will not be asked to prove yourself.
You will simply be held.
🌞 The Ship: Your Floating Sanctuary
We sail aboard Carnival Encounter - a vessel with space for every mood:
✨ Elegant restaurants for slow dinners
✨ Bars for sunset drinks and soft laughter
✨ Live music and shows when you want playfulness
✨ Quiet corners when you want stillness
✨ Pools and deck lounges for soaking and dreaming
This isn’t a children’s circus.
It’s a floating resort with room to breathe and room to be.
💛 You won’t leave as someone else.
You will leave as the woman you forgot you were.
The one with softer shoulders.
The one who speaks kindly to herself.
The one who sleeps deeply.
The one who laughs easily.
The one who looks in the mirror and whispers:
“Oh. There you are.”
Your people will say you look different but can’t explain why.
You won’t bother trying to explain it.
Some things are only understood at sea.
👭 Come solo or bring someone you love
Cruise cabins are twin-share, making this the perfect escape for:
* best friends
* sisters
* adult daughters
* mothers
* women who mother themselves
You can book your cabin directly online or through our travel partner - whichever feels easiest.
Cabin prices rise as departure gets closer, and availability shrinks quickly.
If your body is already imagining the ocean breeze… listen to it.

🚢 If you’ve been waiting for a sign…
This is it.
Not because you’re burnt out.
Not because you’re broken.
Not because you’ve “earned” rest.
Because you’re a woman with a pulse and a heart
and you’re allowed to want more than survival.
Sea & Self Sanctuary is your invitation to breathe.
To remember yourself.
To return - gently, beautifully - to the woman you’ve always been.
If this is for you, you’ll know. 😉
Say yes.
We sail soon.
