A group of Australian cruise ship passengers have been seriously injured in a fatal bus crash in Vanuatu.
P&O says 12 tourists, who'd been travelling on the Brisbane-based Pacific Dawn, were injured in a bus crash in the capital, Port Vila, on Monday.
Ten of them received "significant injuries", a spokesman for the cruise company told AAP.
Two locals died in the crash. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade says no New Zealanders were believed involved.
Air ambulances have been arranged to take the most badly injured to hospitals in Brisbane and Noumea.
